Characterization of the Red Mud Resulted from the Alumina Bayer Process Production for the Future Use in Geopolymers Synthesis
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Dunarea de Jos" din Galati. Fascicula IX, Metalurgie si Stiinta Materialelor - Year 2014, Vol 37, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents the results of analyses on the chemical, structural and morphological processing of bauxite red mud resulting from alkaline wet Bayer technology. The characterization of the material considered as waste from alumina production industry aims at obtaining geopolymeric materilas. The results obtained were compared to literature data and support further research for the synthesis of inorganic polymers (geopolymers) intended for the manufacture of construction materials, starting from red mud as base material.
