Abstract. Bauxite is processed in alumina refineries by the Bayer process in which Alcontaining minerals are dissolved in hot NaOH. The insoluble solids (bauxite processing residue mud and sand) are washed, sometimes partially neutralized (using CO 2 or seawater treatment), and deposited in impoundments surrounding the refinery using either wet (1530% solids) or dry (5065% solids ...
