The red mud is a pollution waste residue discharged when alumina is extracted in the aluminum production industry, and generally, 1.0-2.0 tons of red mud is additionally produced per 1 ton of alumina produced on average. China is the 4 th world of large alumina production, and emits red mud as high as millions of tons each year. At present, the comprehensive utilization of red mud still belongs to a worldwide problem, and the existing comprehensive utilization of red mud mainly comprises the extraction of valuable metals from red mud, the production of cement by compounding materials, bricks for building, mine cemented filling cementing materials, roadbed consolidation materials, high-performance concrete admixture, chemical Bonding Ceramic (CBC) composite materials, heat-insulating refractory materials, environment-friendly materials and the like. However, these studies are still in the laboratory stage and have not been industrialized yet.
