Recovery of gallium from Bayer red mud through acidicleachingion ...
The Bayer red mud (BRM), a highly alkaline solid residue, is produced during the Bayer process for extraction of alumina from bauxite ores (Zhu et al., 2012). Approximately t of BRM is generated per ton of alumina from the process, depending on the original properties of bauxite and operating conditions (Li et al., 2016).
