Efficient dealkalization of red mud and recovery of valuable metals by a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium

Red mud (RM) is a highly alkaline polymetallic waste generated via the Bayer process during alumina production. It contains metals that are critical for a sustainable development of modern society. Due to a shortage of global resources of many metals, efficient large-scale processing of RM has been...
