Hidden values in bauxite residue (red mud): Recovery of metals

Apart from recovering iron, Liu et al. (2012) employed a sodalime roasting process prior to leaching and magnetic separation of the fine red mud (<75 μm) aiming to develop an economicallyfeasible zero waste utilization process. The sodalime roasting facilitates the formation of sodium aluminosilicate which can then be recovered by leaching.
