Opportunities for use of bauxite residue in cement

Published in

2020

This series of three publications explore opportunities for bauxite residue in cement.

First published in 2016, this updated series provides overviews of laboratory investigations, industrial successes and experiences, limitations of BR and growth opportunities. The publications in this series are:

  • Opportunities for use of bauxite residue in Special Cements
  • Opportunities for use of bauxite residue in Portland Cement Clinker
  • Opportunities for use of bauxite residue in Supplementary Cementitious Materials

The International Aluminium Institute continues to encourage interested stakeholders to review opportunities for bauxite residue in all aspects of cement production and usage and to highlight the possible environmental benefits in doing so.

Can-to-Can Recycling: Mettalurgy, Processing and Circularity

Aluminium beverage cans are a true symbol of circularity, endlessly recyclable without losing quality. Our latest fact sheet explores how alloy design, process control and advanced recycling turn used cans back into new ones again and again. By combining precise metallurgy with efficient scrap sorting and delacquering, metal recovery improves ...

Reference document on how to treat scrap flows in carbon footprint calculations for aluminium products

In 2022, the IAI published Guidelines on Transparency that state that when reporting the cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of products that contain scrap there should be full transparency on the methodology used for the carbon footprint calculation. This reference document, summarising three potential approaches, should serve aluminium producers to disclose the methodology they ...
