Red mud can be regarded as a by-product of aluminium extraction process since it contains a significant amount of iron and some valuable elements. Therefore, the treatment of red mud has been a hot topic for some decades. The authors have recently started a laboratory-scale project dealing with stepwise recovery of valuable elements from red mud of Seydisehir Aluminum Plant, Turkey. The first step is related to recovery of iron and pyrometallurgical methods (smelting and solid-state reduction) will be performed. Nonferrous metals will then be selectively leached in the second step. In the extent of the present work, a literature review relevant to the smelting studies for recovery of iron from red mud was presented.

Reducibility properties of Erdemir samples Akşit, Murat Özkan; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) The effect of physical, chemical and mineralogical properties on reducibility of iron containing raw materials were studied with the use of two pellets, one sinter and one lump iron ore sample provided by Erdemir integrated iron and steel works. Although Erdemir lump iron ore contained hematite, it was found to be less reducible than Erdemir sinter since porous structures are easier to reduce and in general sinters have a higher porosity as compared to lump ores. Experimental findings indicated that Erdemir...
Reduction behavior of iron in the red mud Eray, S.; Keskinkilic, E.; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Geveci, Ahmet (2021-01-01) Red mud or bauxite residue contains significant quantities of industrial metals such as Fe, Al, and Ti, as well as rare earth elements such as Sc, Ce, and La. The authors performed a laboratory-scale project dealing with stepwise recovery of valuable elements from two bauxite residues, namely Iranian red mud (IRM) and Turkish red mud (TRM). The first stage involved the recovery of iron which was present in large quantities in red mud. Two different methods were investigated for this purpose: 1) solid state ...
Separation of dark-colored minerals from feldspar by selective flocculation using starch Dogu, I; Arol, Ali İhsan (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-26) Feldspar ores usually contain some amounts of impurity dark-colored minerals (DCM), rich in iron. Such ores must be comminuted for the liberation and separation of the said impurities. Ultra-fine particles which are generated during comminution are difficult to treat by conventional mineral processing methods. It is known that iron minerals have a specific affinity for starch. This phenomenon has been successfully exploited in the selective flocculation and flotation of iron ores. In this study, the possibi...
PRECONCENTRATION OF SOME TRACE-METALS FROM SEA-WATER ON A MERCAPTO-MODIFIED SILICA-GEL Volkan, Mürvet; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (1987-10-01) Silica modified by the addition of mercapto chelating groups has been developed for the pre-concentration of trace metals from natural waters. This material removes cadmium, copper, lead and zinc from aqueous solution and can be employed for the pre-concentration of these metals by both column and batch techniques. Under column and batch conditions recoveries larger than 95% were common. For batch extractions of cadmium, zinc, copper and lead from sea water, recoveries of 91 ± 5, 98 ± 4, 97 ± 4 and 96 ± 5%,...
Removal of boron from aqueous solutions by continuous polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration with polyvinyl alcohol Dilek, C; Ozbelge, HO; Bicak, N; Yılmaz, Levent (2002-01-01) Boron is a highly contaminating metal due to its toxic effects for plants even at very low concentrations. Continuous polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) was applied for removal of boron from aqueous solutions. The effects of operating parameters on the performance of PEUF were investigated. A commercial polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as the boron-complexing agent. The methodology consists of two steps: complexing boron with PVA following separation of boron and polymer complexes by ultrafilt...
