In the very recent Science and Technology Award of China Environmental Protection Federation 2023, Chinalco Shandong received prestigious recognition by winning the first prize for its scientific and technological progress in the comprehensive red mud utilisation project "Green Technology and Engineering Demonstration of Efficient Production of New Powder Materials by Bayer Process Red Mud".
In recent times, Chinalco Shandong has employed new development concepts to strengthen the research on the comprehensive utilisation of red mud while prioritising ecology. The project "Green Technology and Engineering Demonstration of Efficient Production of New Powder Materials by Bayer Process Red Mud" encompasses a study of the physical and chemical structure of a complex element system of red mud slurry, innovation of technical methods for refining and drying red mud, and finding solutions for the technical problem of "sticking the neck" in the efficient utilisation of red mud.
The project has also worked on the innovation and manufacture of products using red mud, giving shape to a red mud-based industry model.
At the award ceremony, Chinalco Shandong shared its current focus on researching and developing red mud-based products and building a zero-emission demonstration project of the alumina bi-product. The company also confirmed that it would enhance the ecological background of the new aluminium industry and empower and increase efficiency for the construction of "New China Aluminium".
Red mud is a prevalent concern in the aluminium industry, for which many companies are experimenting to find ecological solutions. AL Circle, a committed media platform for the aluminium value chain, is also involved in researching valuable industry case studies and presenting them in reports. Recently, the team launched a report on "A comprehensive analysis of Bauxite Residue - Red Mud", covering origins, properties, and management strategies, significant incidents of red mud spillage in recent years, types of red mud generated in China, applications of red mud, red mud utilisation in China.
