Abstract
Red mud is a waste material generated during alumina refining that has traditionally been viewed as an environmental and disposal challenge. The history of red mud, its traditional uses, and potential applications in the future, particularly in carbon capture were explored. However, recent research has revealed that red mud has potential for a range of applications, includeing environmental remediation, energy conversion, and materials science. In particular, nano red mud has emerged as a promising material due to its high surface area, enhanced adsorption and catalytic properties, and potential for functionalization. Despite these advantages, there are also potential health and safety concerns associated with the use of nano red mud, and the synthesis of this material can be expensive and difficult. Nonetheless, further research is needed to optimize the synthesis and application of red mud and nano red mud, and to address the challenges and limitations associated with their use.
