“…In this method red mud is directly disposed in the sea water through pipes shown in Figure 3. In this process acerbity of red mud is neutralized by the sea water and iron oxide released into the seawater, which helps to enhance the life system of the water living bodies (Corals, algae, and others) [35]. Another study reported that, the disposal of red mud into the seawater creates a major hazard to the water living bodies, because the presence of alumina and magnesium in red mud.…”

Red mud is a highly alkaline solid waste produced from the alumina refinery plants. Every year more than 300 million tons of red mud is producing throughout world. Disposal of a large quantity of red mud is very expensive and it creates contamination of neighbor lands, air and water bodies. Using red mud as a sustainable cementitious material in concrete is highly appreciable, because concrete is a second largest using material after water. Moreover, reduce the negative effect on environment due to red mud disposal as well as cement industries. The present paper conducted a critical review on bayer process of red mud, physical and chemical properties of red mud. And also workability, mechanical, durability and microstructure characterization of red mud when used in concrete as sustainable cementitious material. In the red mud iron oxide and alumina oxide are presented abundantly. Red mud accelerates the heat of hydration in concrete and it leads to strength enhancement in early ages. Increases the quantity of red mud in concrete reduces the workability but increases the strength of concrete. However, the chemical composition of red mud and its particle size helps to improve the durability property of concrete. Red mud offers more capable to arrest the chloride ions and other ions diffusion into concrete. Red mud minimizes the micro cracks and voids present in concrete by its particles size as well as bonding nature with other materials up to certain dosage of red mud used in concrete.

“…Studies have been carried out on the use of RM as raw material in various industries, such as in brick industry, ceramic tile production, chemical industry and in the production of metal absorbents [10]. RM is an alkaline, cement-like material and can be used as a partial substitute for cement to reduce CO 2 emissions and soil pollution through the disposal of RM [11]. In addition, RM has high alumina and silica content [12].…”

Storage of large quantities of industrial by-products can pose a serious environmental problem. There is a growing need to recycle these industrial by-products, including red mud, in the construction industry, which is one of the largest consumers of raw materials. A preliminary study of the potential of red mud as a raw material for concrete is presented in this paper. Chemical composition of red mud, determined by X-ray fluorescence and particle size distribution by laser diffraction, is tested as part of its initial evaluation. The reactivity of red mud is evaluated by the R3 test method with isothermal calorimetry. The compressive strength test is carried out on a mortar sample in which 30% by weight of cement is replaced by red mud. Preliminary tests indicate that red mud can be used as raw material in alternative binders.
