The excessive production of bauxite residue (red mud) in the Bayer process is one of the major challenges amongst alumina producers. The Pedersen process is known as a combination of smelting reduction of bauxite and leaching treatment of the produced slag for alumina production, and the process also produces an inert bauxite …

The bauxite ore contains aluminum trihydrate (Al (OH) 3 ). Alumina refining produces alumina (Al 2 O 3) from the bauxite ore, by exploiting the reversible reaction of the Bayer process 1–3 : The reaction is firstly driven in the sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2) direction by the addition of caustic soda (NaOH) to bauxite.

Alcoa utilises the Bayer process to extract alumina from natural bauxite. A by-product of this process is residue mud and sand. This residue. is pumped from the Alcoa Kwinana Refinery to the purpose-built Residue Storage Area.
