Abstract
Red mud (RM) is a solid waste generated from the extraction of alumina from bauxite. It is estimated that more than 1.5 billion tonnes of RM are produced annually worldwide. Stockpiling and landfilling of RM is toxic for the environment due to the presence of high quantities of alkali-generating minerals and metal ions. The high cost of RM treatment and limited land availability encourage the recycling and reuse of RM as construction materials. In many developing countries, brick remains the ubiquitous building material. Thus, it is reasonable to use brick as a medium to accommodate a large amount of RM. In this review, the properties of RM are analyzed and their applications in bricks are discussed. Two common types of RM, namely Bayer red mud (BRM) and sintering red mud (SRM), are introduced along with the methods to produce bricks from them through firing, cementing, and geopolymerization. High alkaline-based BRM is particularly useful as a raw material to produce fired brick and geopolymer brick, whereas SRM, which contains more dicalcium silicate (C2S) and some cementitious phases, can be favorably used to produce cementing brick. RM geopolymer brick normally has more strength (up to 51 MPa) than fired and cementing bricks, and good durability (no efflorescence) with low energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Finally, several solutions have been suggested to resolve the issue of the radioactivity of RM brick, and strict regulation of its application has been imposed in some countries, such as China.

创新点
清晰地展示了目前赤泥砖块的三大类型,并通过对不同砖块的性能进行对比讨论,提出了各类砖块存在的优缺点和未来的发展趋势。
方法
1. 分析赤泥的物理化学特性,并将其按照生产方式分为拜法耳赤泥(BRM)和烧结法赤泥(SRM)(图2);2. 将砖块按照生产方法分为烧结砖,水泥砖和地聚砖(表9);3. 分别讨论两种赤泥应用于三种砖块的生产研究现状。
结论
1. 高碱性的BRM特别适合用来生产烧结砖和地聚砖;SRM含有一些胶凝物相和较多的硅酸二钙,具有一定的水化活性,因此适合用来生产水泥砖。2. 赤泥生产的地聚砖因强度较高(可达51 MPa)、耐久性较好(无风化)、能耗低、二氧化碳排放少等优点,成为未来赤泥回收利用的一大潜力研究方向。
