In red mud, the alkalinity of red mud mainly comes from the residual sodium salt, and the removal of Na is critical to the dealkalization of red mud (Grafe and Klauber, 2011, Zhang et al., 2023a, Zhang et al., 2023b a). Thus, red mud treatment of DAPL not only helps the removal of inhibitors but also benefits its own dealkalization.
