Introducing Alumtek Minerals
Alumtek Minerals (AM) has completed a three year government and
co-funded extensive laboratory research project to recover critical minerals and other
valuable metals and products from bauxite residue (red mud). This waste stream is
produced from refining bauxite to alumina
The completed R&D resulted in submission of provisional patents for AM’s process.
From red mud we have recovered:
- • Alumina
- • Iron oxide;
- • Vanadium (oxide);
- • Titanium (oxide);
- • Gallium (oxide);
- • Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) that meets AS3582.4 grade1 standard;
- • Geopolymer concrete binder achieving > 60 MPa.
Results of the red mud project have achieved a 100% recycling solution for alumina
refinery red mud waste. AM is now seeking alumina refinery or other stakeholders to
take this technology forward. AM provides laboratory facilities for testing and
consulting services and is actively seeking an IP partnership to further develop our
innovations.
