Bayer red mud (BRM) is a kind of solid waste with high hematite content, and its effective utilization is difficult due to the special physicochemical properties. In this work, Fe 2 O 3 in BRM was reduced to Fe 3 O 4 by biomass, and iron concentrate and high activity tailings were obtained after magnetic separation. The pozzolanic activity and hydration characteristics of the tailings were systematically studied. The results showed that the relatively stable polymerization structures of Si-O and Al-O in BRM are destroyed under the effect of biomass reduction at 650 °C, and some fracture bonds and activation points are formed in the structures. The aluminosilicate phases in the BRM were easy to transform into the active substances of Si and Al. The pozzolanic activity of tailings is greatly improved, and its pozzolanic activity index is 91%. High polymerization degree of gel and ettringite are formed since more active substances and alkali in the tailings promote the hydration reaction of cement-based cementitious materials, which made cementitious materials have dense matrix, good mechanical properties, and environmental performance. This work has realized the full quantitative utilization of BRM and provided a feasible way for the resource utilization of BRM.
