Abstract:80% of the raw materials for industrial products in our country come from mineral resources, resulting in a large amount of industrial solid waste. Among them, red mud is a typical type of industrial hazardous solid waste. If not properly disposed of, it will causes harm to atmosphere, water, soil, etc. At the same time, red mud also has resource attributes. If reasonably utilized, it will replace some raw materials, which meets the requirements of Chinese 14th Five Year Plan for the development of circular economy. This article summarizes the current situation of red mud production, storage, and pollution in China, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of current comprehensive utilization methods,. The production of red mud is large, with a storage capacity of over hundreds of millions of tons. The pollution problem has become more prominent and it is currently mainly applied in the fields of metallurgy, building materials, and environmental protection. The direction of large-scale resource utilization of red mud is proposed, helping China achieve the "dual carbon goal".
