The process of extracting aluminum from bauxite involves crushing and refining the mineral to produce alumina, which is then used to produce aluminum metal. The global demand for aluminum has driven the growth of the bauxite industry, with major bauxiteproducing countries including Australia, Guinea, Brazil, and China.

Red mud is a slimy caustic residue generated from alumina refining of bauxite ores. During the alumina extraction process, about 35 %40 % of the bauxite ores go into the residue as highly alkaline red mud slurry (pH ) which contains 15 %40 % of solid phase in volume [1, 2].Depending on the quality of bauxite ores, producing 1 t alumina basically generates t red mud [].

The Pedersen process is an alternative process for the production of alumina. Initially, bauxite ores, or other aluminous materials, are smelted with lime to produce pig iron and a slag of mainly calcium aluminate composition. The latter is subsequently leached in Na 2 CO 3 solutions to extract alumina hydrate.
