Since the amount of red mud, generated from aluminum smelting process as a by-product, has increased worldwide, the recycle and metal resource recovery from the red mud is becoming more important. In this study, in order to recycle the red mud as a soil stabilizer to remediate arsenic contaminated soils, neutralization of red mud was investigated. Red mud was neutralized by washing with distilled water and NaCl, CaCl₂, FeCl₃, and HCl solutions and heating at 200-800℃, and arsenic stabilization characteristics in soils were evaluated with the neutralized red mud. Although washing with distilled water was not effective in neutralizing red mud, the application of the washed red mud to soils lowered the soil pH compared to the application of untreated red mud. Among NaCl, CaCl₂, FeCl₃, and HCl solutions, washing with FeCl₃ showed the most effective in lowering pH of the red mud from pH 10.73 to pH 4.26. Application of the neutralized red mud in soils resulted in quite different arsenic stabilization efficiency depending on soil samples. In M1 soil, which showed relatively high arsenic stabilization efficiency by untreated red mud, the neutralization of red mud resulted in little effect on arsenic stabilization in soil. On the other hand, in M2 soil, which showed low arsenic stabilization efficiency by untreated red mud, the neutralization of red mud increased arsenic stabilization significantly. Soil characteristics such as clay minerals and pH buffering capacity seemed to affect reactions between red mud and soils, which resulted in different effects of the red mud application on soil pH and arsenic stabilization efficiencies.

Red mud is a highly alkaline waste by-product of the aluminum industry. Although recycling of red mud is being actively researched, a feasible technological solution has not been found yet. In this study, we propose that neutralization of red mud alkalinity could assist in its use as a construction material. Neutralized red mud ( pH 6-8) was prepared by adding sulfuric acid to liquefied red mud (pH 10-12). After adding liquid and neutralized red mud to the cement paste, the heat of hydration was measured. As a result of the experiment, the calorific value of the cement paste with liquid red mud was lowered and delayed compared to the cement paste with neutralized red mud.

본 연구에서는 red mud를 흡착제로 이용하여 산성광산배수내 대표적인 유해 중금속인 Cd과 Pb의 흡착특성을 파악하고, 산처리와 소성처리 방식으로 활성화된 red mud에 의한 Cd와 Pb의 중금속 흡착능의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. Red mud에 대한 Cd과 Pb의 흡착은 반응시간 30분 이내에 대부분 발생하였으며, 5시간 경과 후에는 평형상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다. pH가 증가할수록 red mud에 대한 Cd 및 Pb의 흡착은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. Red mud를 증류수 혹은 산으로 중화 처리하거나 산처리 혹은 소성처리 등과 같은 활성화 처리할 경우 Cd와 Pb에 대한 red mud의 흡착능은 오히려 감소하는 것으로 나타났으므로 red mud를 이용한 Cd와 Pb의 흡착제거는 가공하지 않은 원 상태의 red mud를 이용하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 파악되었다. Red mud에 대한 Cd와 Pb의 흡착거동은 Langmuir 및 Freundlich 등온흡착모델에 모두 잘 적용되었으며, Red mud 흡착제에 대한 Langmuir 등온 흡착식의 $q_m$ 과 Freundlich 등온흡착식의 $K_F$ 상수값은 Cd에 대하여 각각 5.230mg/g와 1.118mg/g이었으며 Pb에 대해서는 각각 22.222mg/g와 7.241mg/g의 값을 나타내고 있었다.

Red mud is an inorganic by-product produced from the mineral processing of alumina from Bauxite ores. the development of alkali-activated slag-red mud cement can be a representative study aimed at recycling the strong alkali of the red mud as a construction material. This study is to investigate the pore characteristics of alkali-activated slag-red mud soil pavement according to the red mud content. The results showed that the porosity of alkali-activated slag-red mud soil pavement increased but the compressive strength of that decreased as the red mud content increased.

In this study, as a measure to recycle red mud, which is a byproduct of the Bayer Process, red mud was manufactured as liquid and recycled without drying and grinding. Previous studies have shown that mechanical performance decreases when liquid red mud is applied to cement concrete. Therefore, in this study, liquid red mud was neutralized with nitric acid and applied to cement paste to examine the properties of cement paste according to the addition of red mud. As a result, the compressive strength of 10% liquid red mud decreased by 37.7% compared to Plain, and 10% liquid red mud indicates similar strength to Plain and restores the strength.

In this paper, the characteristics of slag cement mortar added with neutralized liquid red mud with sulfuric acid and reduced pH were reviewed to improve the strength degradation of cement concrete added with liquid red mud. As a result, in the case of compressive strength up to 7 days, the strength of the cement mortar added with liquid red mud tends to increase compared to Plain. This shows that adding liquid red mud to cement mortar tends to increase the initial age strength, and the compressive strength on the 28th shows 74% of Plain when adding non-neutralized liquid red mud and 89% when adding sulfate neutralized red mud. Therefore, it is judged that the compression strength is improved by neutralizing the liquid red mud with sulfuric acid.

In this paper, the characteristics of slag cement mortar added with neutralized liquid red mud with nitric acid to reduce pH by neutralizing liquid red mud with nitric acid were reviewed to improve strength degradation of cement concrete added with liquid red mud. As a result, the compressive strength of cement mortar added with liquid red mud was higher than that of Plain on 1 and 3 days, and the strength of red mud neutralized with nitric acid was lower than that of cement mortar added with liquid red mud on 7 days, but the strength was recovered on 28th. It was found that the addition of red mud has the effect of improving the strength in the early age.

Drilling Mud Treatment Systems are widely used for Oil Gas drilling mud circulation, horizontal directional drilling mud recycling, geothermal drilling, mining, coal exploration drilling, water well drilling. Degasser is a device used in drilling to remove gasses from drilling fluid which could otherwise form bubbles. For small amounts of entrained gas in a drilling fluid, the degasser can play a major role of removing small bubbles that a liquid film has enveloped and entrapped. As with the desander, its purpose is to remove unwanted solids from the mud system. The smaller cones allow the desilter to efficiently remove smaller diameter drill solids. In this study, a simulation study is conducted on the degasser of the facility in the Mud Treatment System to conduct a performance review on the gas separation in the mud.

The drilling mud is essentially used in oil and gas development. There are several roles of using the drilling mud, such as cleaning the bottomhole, cooling and lubricating the drill bit and string, transporting the cuttings to the surface, keeping and adjusting the wellbore pressure, and preventing the collapse of the wellbore. The fragments from rocks and micro-sized bubbles generated by the high pressure are mixed in the drilling mud. The systems to separate those mixtures and to keep the uniformly maintained quality of drilling mud are required. In this study, the simulation is conducted to verify the performance of the mud tank's agitation capacity. The primary role of the mud tank is the mixing of mud at the surface with controlling the mud condition. The container type is chosen as a mud tank pursuing efficient transport and better management of equipment. The single- and two-phase simulations about the agitation in the mud tank are performed to analyze and identify the inner flow behavior. The convergence of results is obtained for the vertical- and axis-direction velocity vector fields based on the grid-dependency tests. The mixing time analysis depending on the multiphase flow conditions indicates that the utilization of a two-stepped impeller with a smaller size provides less time for mixing. This study's results are expected to be utilized as the preliminary data to develop the mixing and integrating equipment of the onshore drilling mud system.
