Irajya Ecotech is establishing an industrial proof-of-concept facility at Rayagada, Odisha, to demonstrate a process for the beneficial utilisation of red mud — an industrial residue from alumina production — by recovering iron-rich material for potential use by steel and allied industries.
Red mud, also known as bauxite residue, is generated during alumina production. It is a high-volume industrial residue that creates long-term land, handling and environmental management challenges for alumina producers.
Irajya Ecotech's focus is to convert this residue from a storage liability into a recoverable industrial resource — beneficial for producers, the environment and allied industries.
Irajya Ecotech is developing a process to recover iron-rich material from red mud through a technology route provided by Eesavyasa Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
The target product is a Synthetic Magnetic Mineral Composite (SMMC), with magnetite-like characteristics.
The recovered material is intended for evaluation by steel, sponge iron, DRI and allied industries, subject to customer testing, grade validation and market acceptance.
The target product is a magnetite-type iron-rich material developed through the magnetic carrier process.
The product is being evaluated for potential use in steel, sponge iron, DRI and allied industrial applications, subject to customer testing, grade validation and market acceptance.
Alongside the iron-rich SMMC product, internal project documents refer to a secondary mineral stream described as enriched alumina with titanate. Future R&D may evaluate titanium-bearing fractions and other mineral streams where technically and commercially viable.
