| Abstract Scope |
With the imminent need to decarbonize the iron and steel sector, this talk will highlight the potential of re-integrating red mud/bauxite residue, an industrial waste product generated during the processing of bauxite to extract alumina into the manufacturing chain to produce iron and steel as a flux. The thermodynamic feasibility of using red mud as a flux in the presence of different reducing agents will be discussed. Potential approaches to decarbonizing iron and steel production while utilizing red mud as a flux, as well as the benefits of red mud remaining after iron extraction will be discussed. |
