There are many ways that we can use bauxite residue to make new products. In previous posts we have talked about the possibility to use it to improve cements [1]. Also, we can make novel low-carbon building materials:  inorganic polymers [2]. For today we are going to see a successful story that brought value to redmud: Jamaican bricks! WHY JAMAICA? ...

We proudly present to you #MSCA ITN fellow of the week Andrei Goronovski, part of the international research project REDMUD, in the science and technology of recycling waste. Red mud, or better bauxite residue – is a major source of critical raw materials which can be recycled and used for clean technologies in the future. To assess and research the ...
