Mechanisms of Neutralization of Bauxite Residue by Carbon ...
Jun 06, 2009 · Bauxite residue was exposed to carbon dioxide (C O 2) at partial pressures ranging from 10 − to 1 atm and the residue porewater pH was measured until a steady state pH was achieved. Using pure C O 2 ( P C O 2 = 1 atm ), a steady state pH of was established in 1 day while it took 9 days to reach a pH of at P C O 2 = 10 − atm .
