Red mud produced from the Bayer process was used for the high temperature metallurgical processing of ilmenite. The major components of the red mud were Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , Na 2 O, and TiO 2 , which play important roles in the flux material. The process temperature of ilmenite slag was lowered from 1794 K (1521°C) to 1687 K (1414°C), as a preliminary study by a high-temperature microscope. Thermochemical calculations using FactSage TM  7.0 confirmed the effect of red mud on the lowered melting temperature of ilmenite slag. The discrepancy between the observed results of the microscope and the calculated phase diagram was due to the slag viscosity, which was significantly affected by Al 2 O 3  in red mud. The reduction of ilmenite at lower temperatures by the addition of red mud was investigated at 1723 K (1450°C). Ilmenite, pseudobrookite, and associated clay minerals were the major phases in the reduced ilmenites which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (×RD) analysis. Microscopic images obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed variations in the pseudobrookite phases according to the amount of fluxed red mud. The benefits of red mud utilization are discussed with regard to the lower energy consumption and recovery of resources.
