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 [].
