Co-processing of municipal

combines both energy recovery

• The alumina content (20 wt%) and clay-like behaviour indicate
that bauxite residue may indeed be valuable as a secondary
raw material as a clinker raw meal substitute (what about Na
content?), which is evidenced by the 2 Greek and 1 Cyprian
cement plants(1) brief using BR in levels between 1.5 - 3.0 wt%
for Portland cement clinker production.
• However, the BR use as supplementary cementitious materials
in blended cement production (as mentioned is the case in
China, India, Ukraine, Russia, Cyprus and Brazil (1)) would
require proof testing and standardisation work.
