Evaluation of bauxite residues (red muds) of different origins for environmental applications
K. Snars,Robert Gilkes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the acid buffering behaviour of red muds was investigated by incubation of acid-treated red mud with various amounts of hydrochloric acid and showed that sodalite and calcite buffer (i.e. dissolve) simultaneously.
