Trivia

  • Less commonly, this material is also known as bauxite tailings, red sludge, or alumina refinery residues.
  • In real life, red mud is also used to make things like concrete, or be used in things like dyes, water treatment chemical, oil drilling or gas excavation, etc.
  • Before the aluminium rework, red mud was the main fluid used in the production of aluminium, not sodium aluminate, as it is nowadays.
