viable if it is integrated with the co-recovery of e.g. high-value precious and specialty metals, and low-value major elements that can be converted to value-added products. For instance, elements such as iron could be used by the iron and steel industry (Romão et al., 2012) or as feedstock for the

Through the lens of TTM and MI, the recovery process emerges as a dynamic and fluid evolution. These models recognize the cyclical nature of change, emphasizing the potential for relapses and reinforcing the importance of ongoing support. As individuals traverse the stages – pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, …

It has been reported that depending on the chemical and mineralogical characteristics of bauxite and the processing route for recovery of alumina, bauxite residue composition typically consists of 20–65% Fe2O3, 10–27% Al2O3, 5–25% TiO2, 4–20% SiO2, 2–8 % Na2O, and <0.1% REEs [14–16]. Studies on the recovery of metal values from ...

Recovery of iron from red mud is important for two respects: first, iron oxide is the major oxide component, source of iron, although it is not as high as the one appearing in economical iron ores. Second, removal of iron from bauxite residue is helpful to increase the recoveries of the elements in leaching step. Leaching without

The major recycling steps of hydrometallurgy routes such as pre-treatments, leaching and purification steps will be gathered and discussed in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. View ...
