OBJECTIVES FOR PILOT SCALE DEMONSTRATIONS I. Demonstrate the use of processed Bauxite Residue (BR) production as of green Soil Stabilizer for civil works applications though the stabilization of BR with other industrial by products. At least 800 t of BR are processed and used by ACCIONA as a raw material for the construction of a road in Spain. II. Demonstrate in pilot scale the production of lightweight aggregates, sulfoalluminate cement and high performance concrete products through thermal treatment of Bauxite Residue At least 5 ton of Bauxite Residue will be processed in the RIO TINTO Pilot plant in France. III. Demonstrate in pilot scale the production of ferro-silicon alloy from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) co-processing of BR with other industrial by-products, like Spent Pot Liners (SPL) form aluminium primary production. At least 5 ton of Bauxite Residue will be processed in the AoG Pilot plant in Greece. IV. Demonstrate in prototype microwave furnace the production of metallic iron from processing bauxite residue with other industrial by-products. At least 250 kg of Bauxite Residue will be processed in CEINNMAT?s mobile prototype plant in both Spain and Greece. V. Demonstrate the production of REE concentrate, Ga concentrate, alumina/soda solution and rutile concentrate from the hydrometallurgical processing of slags/sinters produced in RemovAL pyrometallurgical pilot plants. Ga is co extracted both from the slag and the Bayer liquor. At least 500 kg of slag and 200 lt of Bayer liquor will be processed in the AoG pilot plant in Greece. VI. Demonstrate the production of blended cement from the processing of slags/sinters produced in RemovAL pyrometallurgical pilot plants. At least 10 t of slag will be processed in HEIDELBERG pilot plant in Germany.
