The conference aspires to cover the whole chain of bauxite residue, from production to applications. In detail, the themes as structured in the program are:
From bauxite to a modified bauxite residue: additions and process modifications leading to a more attractive bauxite residue for downstream use
Neutralisation, revegetation and beyond: from actions to reduce alkalinity all the way to restoration of fauna and flora in former disposal sites
Recovery of Fe, Al, Ti: being the metals with the highest concentration in bauxite residue, the session will cover processes to recover them
Recovery of minor elements and REE: focus is now placed on minor metals and REE that can have a substantial impact on the economic viability of the processes
Cement, concrete and inorganic polymers: with production volumes in the range of billion metric tons annually, these materials can incorporate substantial volumes
Ceramics: from clay based ceramics to more sophisticated ceramics with engineered properties
Other novel applications: catalysis, polymer composites, adsorbents and many more applications that go beyond the usual paths while offering new possibilities
