Red mud is the waste generated in alumina industry, which occupies much land and brings great harm to the ecological environment and its disposal and comprehensive utilization has become a major environmental concern of the whole society. This thesis discusses the rehabilitating effect of several amendments on red mud and their influences on the growth of the sorgo seedlings, eventually providing theoretical and technical support for in-situ remediation of the ecological environment red mud stacking area. The results show that the amendments could reduce pH value of the soil; the addition of phosphorus, gypsum and sludge can effectively reduce the pH value. All of these are beneficial to soil’s physical structure and seedling root. At the same time, sludge can provide necessary nutrients to seedlings while promote the metabolism. The research results have both theoretical significance and application prospect.
