    Abstract: Red mud prepared in the laboratory was activated using hydrochloric acid with concentrations from 2-4 mol/L, heat at 900°C and combined acid and heat at 900°C, and the respective yields evaluated. The physico-chemical properties of these samples were determined using pH, EC, XRF, XRD, SEM, TGA-DTA analyses and textural properties (isotherm type, BE... Show More
