The waste generated from alumina refining is collectively known as red mud due to its color. For low-grade bauxite ores, the low aluminium to silica (Al/Si) ratio makes Bayer process ineffective and therefore a sintering process is frequently used instead for alumina refining (Tian et al., 2016).Sintering process for alumina production usually involves heating a bauxite-lime …
