On the Use of Red Mud in the Cement Industry

Abstract

The article shows the environmental threats posed by human activities, in particular the danger of alumina production. Stressed the urgency of the problem. An attempt is made to the use of alumina production waste in the construction industry, which will lead to improvement of ecology of settlements, as Red mud will throw with drilling waste, which may lead to non-waste production. The possibility to use different types of red mud when replacing the sand for cement and concrete works, that will allow to decrease the weight of building structures, without losing their strength is shown. Similar concrete structures used for urban planning will have lower thermal conductivity, which will affect the economy of communal services.
