Methodology to Estimate the Land Requirement for Residue Storage

Hi Friends,

In present post, we will cover the simplified method to work out the estimated land requirement for construction of Bauxite residue storage for a typical Alumina refinery of 1.0 Mtpa production capacity processing gibbsitic Bauxite using Medium pressure digestion technology. The assumptions made for calculations have been clearly stated and may undergo change depending on capacity and quality of input materials.

Broad calculations are tabulated below-

Trust, the systematic approach presented above gives fair idea to work out the estimated land requirement for construction of Bauxite Residue Storage for Alumina refinery of any production capacity.

Please put your views / suggestions / remarks / comments, if any.
