The Technical Specification for Production and Application of Red Mud-based Lightweight Soil outlines essential aspects such as -
This standard applies to various construction and municipal engineering projects requiring load reduction, work on narrow spaces, limited land acquisition, vertical construction, or specific filling needs. It offers comprehensive technical guidance and standardised procedures for using red mud-based lightweight soil across these applications.
The Red Mud-based Cementitious Materials standard defines: -
Its release not only facilitates the research, development, and application of red mud-based cementitious materials but also significantly enhances the comprehensive utilisation of red mud, contributing to the advancement of the circular economy.
As a key contributor to the development of these standards, the Guangxi Branch leveraged its technical expertise and extensive experience in the comprehensive utilisation of red mud. The company provided critical technical support and practical insights, actively promoting resource efficiency and fostering the green development of red mud utilisation in China.
