Red mud is a waste generated by the aluminium industry, and its disposal is a major problem for this industry. Red mud has a reddish-brown color and superfine particle characteristics. So, it can be a promising pigment admixture for concrete industry. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the potential use of red mud in color concrete. The micro structures of red mud and iron oxide pigment such as porosity, pore size distribution, diameter of particle were analyzed with the aid of SEM, X-ray diffraction(XRD), and the infrared absorbance. Tests on physical properties of color concrete, such as strength, slump, early shrinkage crack patterns, and color characteristics were carried out and the results were reported in this paper.

Red mud is formed as a waste during bauxite refining known as Bayer's process. Its main constituents are iron, aluminium, sodium and silica. The disposal of large quantities of wasted red mud causes a serious ecological problem. In this study, the red mud wasted from the bauxite refinery was studied for phosphate removal from aqueous solution according to activation methods. The influence of heat treatment, and neutralization with sea water and acid treatment level for the optimum conditions for phosphate removal have been determined. Heat treatment combined with acid treatment is most suitable for the removal of phosphate from aqueous solution. The optimal condition was activated with 1 N HCl solution after heating in $600^{\circ}C$ during 4 hours. Acid and heat treatment causes sodalite compounds which hinder the phosphate adsorption to leach out. The adsorption data obtained followed a first-order rate expression and fitted well with the Freundlich Isotherm well.

알루미나를 생산하는 Bayer 공정에서 발생하는 레드머드는 환경과 인간에게 심각한 위험요인이 되고 있어, 알루미늄 산업에서 레드머드의 발생량을 줄이거나 또는 재활용 하는 것은 매우 시급한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 강도, 반응온도, 반응시간 및 산성용액 농도 등 4가지 변수가 레드머드 내의 철과 알루미늄의 침출에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 레드머드로부터 금속 성분의 용출에 미치는 가장 중요한 변수는 초음파 강도와 반응온도로 나타났다. 초음파를 조사할 경우, 철과 알루미늄의 회수율은 초음파를 조사하지 않은 경우보다 각각 1.72배와 1.28배 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 알루미나로부터 금속성분을 회수하기 위한 적정 조업조건은 초음파 강도 150 W, 황산 용액의 농도 4-6N, 반응온도 $70^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 2시간 등이었다.

본 연구에서는 red mud(RM)를 0.1, 1, 그리고 5M 의 H$_3PO_4$ 용액으로 화학적 표면처리하여 에폭시/RM 나노복합재료를 제조하였으며, RM 표면의 pH, 표면 산-염기도, 표면적, 그리고 기공도를 이용하여 표면처리에 의한 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 임계응력 세기인자(K$_{IC}$)를 통하여 제조된 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성을 조사하였다. 실험결과로부터, 표면처리에 의한 RM의 표면은 hydroxyl 등의 산성관능기 그룹의 생성과 금속산화물의 반응으로 인하여 표면 산도가 증가하고, 미세기공 및 중기공 구조가 발달하여 비표면적이 증가되었다. K(IC)를 이용한 RM의 기계적 계면성질은 비표면적이 증가함과 동시에 표면산도가 증가함으로 염기성 매트릭스와의 계면결합력이 증대되어 순수 에폭시와 처리되지 않은 에폭시/RM 복합재료보다 더 우수한 기계적 계면물성을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 액상 레드머드를 첨가한 시멘트 모르타르의 활용 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 pH 10~12 인 액상 레드머드(LR)를 황산으로 중화하여 액상 레드머드(SR)를 제조하였으며, 액상 레드머드의 활용가능성을 확인하고자 플로우, 응결시간, 압축강도를 측정하고 XRD, SEM을 통해 화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 플로우 측정결과 MS-LR과 MS-SR의 경우 Plain과 비교하여 플로우 값이 감소하였다. 응결시간 측정결과 Plain과 비교하여 MS-LR 및 MS-SR의 응결시간은 단축되었다. 압축강도 측정결과 Plain과 비교하여 MS-LR의 1d와 MS-SR의 1d 및 3d의 압축강도가 Plain보다 증가하였으며 28d 압축강도 측정결과에서는 MS-LR 및 MS-SR의 압축강도가 Plain과 비교하여 감소하였다. XRD 분석결과 28일의 경우 Plain과 MS-SR의 XRD 패턴이 유사하게 나타나고, MS-LR에서는 새로운 피크가 관찰되었다. SEM 이미지를 분석한 결과 Plain과 MS-SR의 미세구조는 유사하게 관찰되고 있지만, MS-LR의 미세구조는 미세한 섬유상 조직으로 미세구조가 다르게 나타났다. 따라서 중화하지 않은 레드머드 보다 황산으로 중화한 액상레드머드를 시멘트 모르타르에 대체하였을 때 강도개선 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며 이의 활용가능성을 확인하였다.

In this work, removal of phenol from aqueous solutions by activated red mud was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was used to observe the morphology and surface components of activated red mud, respectively. The effects of various parameters on the removal efficiency were studied, such as contact time, pH, initial phenol concentration, and adsorbent dosage. The removal percentage of phenol was initially increased, as the solution pH increased from 3 to 7, and then decreased above neutral pH. The removal percentage of phenol was decreased by increasing the initial phenol concentrations. Adsorption results show that equilibrium data follow the Freundlich isotherm, and kinetic data was well described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Experimental results show that the activated red mud can be used to treat aqueous solutions containing phenol, as a low cost adsorbent with high efficiency.

In this study, the activated red mud was used as a new and appropriate adsorbent for the removal of ferrocyanide and ferricyanide from aqueous solution. Predicting the removal percentage and adsorption capacity of ferro-ferricyanide by activated red mud during the adsorption process is necessary which has been done by modeling and simulation. The artificial neural network (ANN) was used to develop new models for the predictions. A back propagation algorithm model was trained to develop a predictive model. The effective variables including pH, absorbent amount, absorbent type, ionic strength, stirring rate, time, adsorbate type, and adsorbate dosage were considered as inputs of the models. The correlation coefficient value ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) values of the testing data for the removal percentage and adsorption capacity using ANN models were 0.8560, 12.5667, 0.9329, and 10.8117, respectively. The results showed that the proposed ANN models can be used to predict the removal percentage and adsorption capacity of activated red mud for the removal of ferrocyanide and ferricyanide with reasonable error.

Through the industrial revolution that began in the 18th century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased rapidly as humans used fossil energy such as coal and oil as fuel for steam engines and factory machines. The amount of carbon dioxide emitted while producing cement, the main material of concrete used in construction, is large enough to account for 5-8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, Non cement-based matrix were used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cement production. Red mud is an industrial by-product generated in the manufacturing process of aluminum hydroxide using bauxite, and more than 120 million tons are produced worldwide. In addition, red mud is a porous material that can be physically adsorbed, and causes a photocatalytic reaction of TiO₂ to remove harmful substances such as nitrogen oxide formaldehyde in the air and chemically adsorbs ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, this study aims to examine the physical properties of the matrix by mixing red mud, an industrial by-product with good adsorption performance, into the Non cement-based matrix.

With industrial development, the inevitable increase in both organic and inorganic waste necessitates the exploration of waste treatment and utilization methods. This study focuses on co-pyrolyzing lignin and red mud to generate metalbiochar, aiming to demonstrate their potential as effective adsorbents for water pollutant removal. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed mass loss of lignin below 660℃, with additional mass loss occurring (>660℃) due to the phase change of metals (i.e., Fe) in red mud. Characterization of the metal-biochar indicated porous structure embedded with zero-valent iron/magnetite and specific functional groups. The adsorption experiments with 2,4-dichlorophenol and Cd(II) revealed the removal efficiency of the two pollutants reached its maximum at the initial pH of 2.8. These findings suggest that copyrolysis of lignin and red mud can transform waste into valuable materials, serving as effective adsorbents for diverse water pollutants.
