Industrialization is the key to the growth of any country’s economy. However, on the other hand, the production of industrial waste is increasing enormously, which adversely impacts the environment and natural resources. Red mud is also a widespread industrial waste produced during aluminium extraction from bauxite ore in Bayer’s process. Red mud is a highly alkaline material that creates a massive environmental threat in nature. To reduce the impact of this solid waste material, the ideal method is to use it in construction works with appropriate stabilization. This study envisages the strength properties of red mud with fly ash and cement to use it as a road construction material in the subgrade. The influence of fly ash and cement on improving the strength properties of red mud was studied in detail by replacing red mud with 10%, 20%, and 30% with fly ash and 1%, 3%, and 5% of cement to its dry weight. The CBR (California bearing ratio) value was increased from 1.58% to 11.6% by stabilizing red mud with fly ash and cement, which can be used as a road construction material. The UCS (unconfined compressive strength) of red mud was increased from 825 kPa to 2340 kPa upon curing for 28 days with the right mix of fly ash and cement. Along with the strength properties, the chemical analysis of leachate for the best suitable mix was performed according to the TCLP method to understand the hazardous materials present in the red mud when it is injected as ground material. Both strength properties and the leachate characteristics prove that the red mud with suitable fly ash and cement is an excellent material in road constructions.

Industrial wastes such as marble dust, fly ash, and red mud have progressed as an environmental hazard that needs to be disposed or utilized for minimizing the ecological pollution problems and manufacturing costs. Over the years, there is an increasing interest among researchers in utilizing these industrial wastes as reinforcement for developing economic and lightweight monolithic or hybrid composites. In the same context, this paper presents a comprehensive review on the aspects of tribology and thermal performance of industrial waste such as marble dust, fly ash, and red mud as reinforcement for different monolithic and hybrid composites. The review also describes different applications for industrial waste material reinforced composites. Finally, the paper concludes with authors’ perspective of the review, conclusion summary, and future potential of industrial waste filled composites in different industries for obtaining a sustainable and cleaner environment.

Предложены методы модификации красных шламов (КШ) обработкой соляной кислотой и карбонизацией с получением сорбционных материалов, пригодных для извлечения металлов из кислых растворов. Модификация КШ карбонизацией способствует увеличению площади и объема пор в карбонизированном шламе (КШК), что привело к более высокой сорбционной емкости до 246 мг Cu /г, при одновременной нейтрализации сернокислого медьсодержащего раствора с 1,5 до 4,5 единиц pH . Кислотная обработка приводит к меньшим положительным эффектам по извлечению меди. Кинетика сорбции описывается уравнениями как псевдо-первого порядка ( R > 0,96 ), так и псевдо-второго ( R > 0,98), определяя равнозначные вклады в общую скорость процесса стадий массопереноса и взаимодействия ионов. При изучении механизма установлено, что поверхностные диффузионные процессы на границе «твердое - жидкое» переходят в массоперенос ионов Cu и химическое взаимодействие с функциональными группами на поверхности и внутри частиц модифицированных шламов. Для исходного шлама эти процессы практически эквивалентны. Десорбция меди водой и раствором этилендиаминтетрауксусной кислотой (ЭДТА) показала, что прочность связей в структуре КШК- Cu и устойчивость поверхностных тройных комплексов Cu -ЭДТА-КШК оказывается выше, чем Cu -ЭДТА-КШ. Показана перспектива создания сорбционных материалов на основе промышленных отходов, в частности щелочных красных шламов, и их применение для поглощения токсичных металлов из кислых сточных вод с взаимной нейтрализацией и утилизацией разных видов техногенных отходов металлургических производств -твердых, газообразных и жидких. Methods for modification red mud (RM) by treatment with hydrochloric acid and by carbonization to obtain sorption materials for extracting metals from acidic solutions are proposed. Modification of the RM by carbonation increases the area and volume of pores in the carbonized red mud (CRM), that leads to a higher sorption capacity up to 246 mg/g with simultaneously neutralization of the copper solution from 1,5 to 4,5 pH . The acid treatment leads to less positive effects on the extraction of copper. The sorption kinetics is described by both pseudo-first-order (R >0 ,96) and pseudo-second-order (R > 0,98) equations, which determine the equivalent contributions to the overall speed of the process of the mass transfer and the ion interaction stages. A mechanism was studied and it was found that surface diffusion processes at the «solid-liquid» interface turn into the mass transfer of Cu ions and chemical interaction with functional groups on the surface and inside the particles of modified muds. For the initial mud, these processes are almost equivalent. Desorption of copper with water and a solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) has shown that the strength of bonds in the structure of CRM- Cu and the stability of surface triple complexes Cu -EDTA-CRM are higher than for Cu -EDTA-RM. The potential have been demonstrated of creating sorption materials by used industrial waste, in particular alkaline red slurries, and their applications for the absorption of toxic metals from acidic wastewater for mutual neutralization and utilization of industrial waste from metallurgical industries - solid, gaseous and liquid.
