Bauxite, Residue and Disposal Database (BRaDD)
https://extranet-wf.minerals.csiro.au/BRaDD/
BRaDD is an online database developed to provide industry, government, researchers, and environmental groups with a one-stop, searchable resource containing all public information on bauxite residues (red mud), including their characteristics and storage, as well as details about the original bauxite from which it came. BRaDD is a deliverable of project ATF-06-03, Management of Bauxite Residue (Red Mud).
Management Guide for the ATF-06-02 PFC Emissions

Download pdf link (Chinese)
The Aluminium Task Force's Management of PFC Emissions Project has released its Management Guide for PFC Emissions (ATF-06-02). The guide is intended for use by Study Tours, Training Teams, and primary production facilities in each of the Partner countries to identify and implement cost-effective, technically-feasible opportunities to optimize anode effects in electrolytic cells.
High Silica Bauxites - Detailed Process Review, Process Selection and Innovation
Download pdf link
This report is aimed at stimulating discussion on the options for processing high silica bauxites, and in particular to encourage the engagement and participation of industry sponsors in targeted further research.
High Silica Bauxite General Literature Review

Recently the Aluminium Task Force has completed the High Silica Bauxite general literature review as part of project ATF-06-04 - High Silica Bauxite Processing.
APP Benchmarking and Measurement Project 2008
Download pdf link
The Aluminium Task Force's Aluminium Measuring and Benchmarking project ATF-06-01 has released its first Benchmark Report. Work on the APP Aluminium Measuring and Benchmarking project has been incorporated into the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) annual data collection, and data has been compiled for a range of indicators across the APP aluminium sector. This project has made indicators available at an APP-wide level to facilitate the demonstration of benefits from other Aluminium Task Force projects. These indicators include: PFC emissions; fluoride emissions; energy usage; shipments used in transport; Spent Pot Lining (SPL) disposal; recycling rates; bauxite residue storage volume, area and rehabilitation.
Management of Bauxite Residue: Priority Research Areas

This report specifies priority research areas in such areas as bauxite residue management, disposal, storage, chemistry, value opportunities, and use.
Review of Bauxite Residue Alkalinity and Associated Chemistry
Download pdf link
This report analyzes bauxite residue alkalinity and associated chemistry. This analysis can help inform what techniques and methods might best be used to manage bauxite residue.
Review of Current Bauxite Residue Management, Disposal and Storage: Practices, Engineering, and Science
Download pdf link
This report reviews current as well as potential future management, disposal and storage practices for bauxite residue. The report also identifies key barriers to certain options for bauxite residue based on findings from other bauxite residue reports released by the APP Aluminium Task Force.
Review of Bauxite Residue "Re-Use" Options
Download pdf link
This report outlines options for "re-use" of bauxite residue, incorporating research from the "Review of Bauxite Residue Alkalinity and Associated Chemistry" and "Review of Current Bauxite Residue Management, Disposal and Storage: Practices, Engineering, and Science," and "Management of Bauxite Residue: Priority Research Areas" reports also released by the APP Aluminium Task Force.
