Dust Reduction in Bauxite Red Mud Waste using Carbonation ... Springer
Red Dust: Origin and Damages. Red mud waste (RMW) surfaces (crusts) of bauxite mine spoils are potential sources of dust emission. During storage, the surface gets dried, even though the consistency may be still liquid at a few millimeters below (Graham and Fawkes 1992).A strong wind can then blow a red dust cloud over the surroundings at a considerable financial and environmental cost.
