Abstract:Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste from the Bayer process for aluminum production. Red mud reservoirs are usually considered as a potential environmental risk. The treatment of red mud is costly due to the lack of an effective and economical treatment technology. On the other hand, the main components of red mud are Fe2O3, Al2O3, SiO2, and Na2O, which could be employed as a promising precursor for the preparation of various nanomaterials. In this study, we prepared activated red mud by thermal an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
