Red mud (RM), also known as bauxite residue, is an alkaline solid waste byproduct derived in the extraction process of alumina from bauxite ore. With increasing demands for alumina, the global reserves of RM have reached billion tons in 2018, and it is estimated that an annual increase was approximately 200 million tons [1].

Leaching Process Examples. The leaching process example includes the leaching of bauxite or Al2O3 . 2H₂O with the concentrated and heated sodium hydroxide. The concentrated NaOH here tends to dissolve the aluminium present in the given bauxite, while on the other hand, the impurities like SiO2, TiO2, and Fe2O3 do not get dissolved.
