"Turning Aluminum Mining Waste into Green Steel Using Climate-Neutral Plasma Reduction"
TL;DR Summary
A potentially sustainable process has been developed to treat the hazardous waste of aluminium production, known as 'red mud', and extract iron from it for making steel. This process not only addresses the environmental issues associated with aluminium production waste but also has the potential to contribute to carbon-neutral steel production, thereby increasing the sustainability of both major metal industries.
