Scientists successfully make iron from red mud
Scientists from the Vietnam Science and Technology Academy have confirmed that they can make iron from red mud, the waste created during alumina production.
Finished iron samples derived of red mud from the Tan Rai factory were brought to the meeting and presented to the Standing Committee’s members.
The Vietnam Science and Technology Academy was assigned to try producing iron. In the end, the scientists of the academy suggested two solutions, which both may later bring success and create iron.
The news that Vietnam can make iron of red mud has piqued the interest of scientists and people. The question of how to deal with massive amounts of red mud byproduct was the main reason some analysts had protested the implementation of the two bauxite projects.
