Abstract Red mud (RM) is a low-activity industrial solid waste, and its utilization as a resource is currently a hot topic. In
this study, the micro characteristics of red mud at different calcination temperatures were analyzed using X-ray
diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The performance of calcined red mud was determined through
mortar strength tests. Results indicate that high-temperature calcination can change the mineral composition
and microstructure of red mud, and increase the surface roughness and specific surface area. At the optimal temperature of 700°C, the addition of calcined red mud still leads to a decrease in mortar strength, but its… More >
