Vedanta signs MoU for reuse of bauxite residue
April 12, 2021
To maximise value-extraction from the residue for further usage downstream
Vedanta, one of the largest producers of aluminium and its value-added products, has signed a memorandum of understanding for value-creation from bauxite residue (red mud), which is a by-product generated during processing of bauxite into alumina.
Bauxite is the primary ore for producing aluminium. It undergoes an intermediate refining stage to produce alumina and then through electrolysis aluminium is produced. About three tonnes of bauxite produces one tonne of alumina and about two tonnes of alumina gives one tonne of aluminium.

Vedanta, India s largest producer of aluminium and its value-added products, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for value-creation from bauxite residue (red mud), which is a by-product generated during processing of bauxite into alumina using the Bayer process. Bauxite is the primary ore for aluminium, that undergoes an intermediate refining stage to produce alumina, which then undergoes electrolysis for producing aluminium. Abundantly available on earth s crust, mining of bauxite is one of the most inherently sustainable mining processes. Approximately three tonnes of bauxite produce one tonne of alumina, and around two tonnes of alumina are required to produce one tonne of aluminium.
