Abstract

Red mud or bauxite residue is an industrial waste generated during the processing of bauxite into alumina using the Bayer process. This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis on the topic of the red mud. The search results from the Scopus database were extracted using the VOSviewer software. A total of 376 articles related to red mud were analyzed and mapped. Based on the mapping results, REE and acid leaching were confirmed to be trending in the study of red mud. This research is expected to provide a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities of studying the red mud topic.
