- Originality: Globally novel research showing that red mud (major contributor of contaminated waste from the aluminium extraction industry) can be incorporated into lightweight aggregate (up to 44% weight) to produce a secondary product of value for urban greening. Rigour: Standard materials-testing assays were used to characterise the properties of the aggregate generated. Significance: The study recommended a full technical and economic feasibility study on commercial scale production, with potential impact not only in China but also internationally. This work was a collaborative effort: materials were designed in the U.K, sourced and produced in China, then tested by researchers at UEL.
