Introduction. The production of alumina is associated with the coproduction of bauxite residue (BR). Most alumina refineries in the world use the Bayer process in which bauxite ore is leached with NaOH (Power et al., 2011; Evans 2016).While the main product of these refineries is aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH) 3 or Al 2 O 2 O), which results in alumina (Al 2 O 3) after calcination, a solid ...
