Red Mud


Red Mud, or also termed bauxite residue, is a industrial waste generated during the processing of Bauxite into Aluminium in a Combination Furnace. It is also Strongly Corrosive, and requires a hazardous material tank to be held.

Production of Red Mud

  • The only way to produce Red Mud, is what the term suggests, it is produced from processing Bauxite in a Combination Furnace.
  • It's also the only way to acquire Red Mud.

Uses to Red Mud

  • Red Mud doesn't have many uses.
    • Although you can solidfy it in a Solidification Machine, you will need 1000mB Red Mud and you will get 1 Iron Ingot in return.
    • Another use is in a Coker Unit, where you can coke 1000mB Red Mud to get in return 1 Iron Ingot and 50mB Mercury.
  • As it is Flammable, it will give you 1.0kTU per bucket.

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.
