Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Red mud and phosphogypsum are staple solid wastes, with considerably large annual emissions. Improving their comprehensive utilization is the key to addressing the large accretion of both red mud and phosphogypsum. They have great utilization potential and can be collectively modified to expand the utilization field and increase the utilization rate. Thus, based on the characteristics of red mud and phosphogypsum, this study summarizes the current status of their coutilization in the fields of building materials, agriculture, environmental protection, and transportation. The development of technologies for the bulk consumption and coproduction of high value-added products is an important direction for the coutilization of red mud and phosphogypsum.
