Concurrent Fe & Al2O3 recovery from Bauxite Residue KU Leuven
Utilization of bauxite residue (BR) is essential for controlling the annual million metric tons that are the result of the alumina and aluminium production process. This is investigating the potential of a sustainable thermal treatment of BR for iron (Fe) and alumina (Al2O3) recovery. The addition of fluxes like Sodium Borate (Na2B4O7) or Calcium Borate (Ca3(BO3)2) and carbonaceous material will be studied in detail to evaluate their effect ...
