Re‐using bauxite residues: benefits beyond (critical raw) material ...
Dry stacking involves thickening the bauxite residue to 4855% solids, which subsequently is pumped through a sloped pipeline. Then, de‐watering / air drying occurs before the next thin layer is released at the disposal area. 56 The bauxite residues are emitted as a slurry‐type paste of pH > 11, a high fine silt to clay size proportion ...
