Experimental work was performed by electron probe microanalysis with energy dispersive as well as wavelength dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. REEs are found as discrete mineral particles in bauxite residue. Their sizes range from <1 µm to about 40 µm. In bauxite residue, the most abundant REE bearing phases are light REE (LREE) ferrotitanates that form a solid solution between the phases with major compositions (REE,Ca,Na)(Ti,Fe)O3 and (Ca,Na)(Ti,Fe)O3.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The role of nano-perovskite in the negligible thorium release in seawater from Greek bauxite Received: 06 August 2015 Accepted: 25 January 2016 residue (red mud) Published: 22 February 2016 Platon N. Gamaletsos1,2,6, Athanasios Godelitsas2, Takeshi Kasama1, Alexei Kuzmin3, Markus Lagos4, Theo J. Mertzimekis5, Jörg Göttlicher6, Ralph Steininger6, Stelios Xanthos7,8, Yiannis Pontikes9, George N. Angelopoulos10, Charalampos Zarkadas11, Aleksandr Komelkov11, Evangelos Tzamos12 & Anestis Filippidis12 We present new data about the chemical and structural characteristics of bauxite residue (BR) from Greek Al industry, using a combination of microscopic, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques. SEM-EDS indicated a homogeneous dominant “Al-Fe-Ca-Ti-Si-Na-Cr matrix”, appearing at the microscale. The bulk chemical analyses showed considerable levels of Th (111 μg g−1), along with minor U (15 μg g−1), which are responsible for radioactivity (355 and 133 Bq kg−1 for 232Th and 238U, respectively) with a total dose rate of 295 nGy h−1. Leaching experiments, in conjunction with SF- ICP-MS, using Mediterranean seawater from Greece, indicated significant release of V, depending on S/L ratio, and negligible release of Th at least after 12 months leaching. STEM-EDS/EELS & HR-STEM- HAADF study of the leached BR at the nanoscale revealed that the significant immobility of Th4+ is due to its incorporation into an insoluble perovskite-type phase with major composition of Ca0.8Na0.2TiO3 4+ and crystallites observed in nanoscale. The Th LIII-edge EXAFS spectra demonstrated that Th ions, which are hosted in this novel nano-perovskite of BR, occupy Ca2+ sites, rather than Ti4+ sites.

    Message from the Chairman 2019 was a landmark year for MYTILINEOS, as it was full of significant milestones. During the year, the country seemed to gain, although with numerous challenges ahead. The Company managed to respond adequately and effectively against these challenges, empowering all of its Business Units. Through hard work, sound resource management, focus on innovation, respect to the environment and above all, transparency, we proved that not only we are able to achieve our objectives but also exceed them. Undoubtedly, the laying of the foundation stone for one of the largest combined cycle gas turbines plant (CCGT) in Europe, has been a pinnacle moment for the Company. Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis set the cornerstone of the new plant at the Energy Center of Agios Nikolaos, which marks the first major investment in Greece in the post credit-crisis era. The plant will provide security to the Greek energy system and guarantees that the country will win the challenge of transition to the post-lignite era. The Metallurgy Business Unit, notwithstanding the continued low-price levels, represented 26.4% of the company’s total turnover and preserved its competitive position worldwide. Since July 2019, ‘Hephaestus’, the 4th program of simultaneous productivity improvement and cost cutting, has taken effect by the Aluminium of Greece in continuation to previous successful programs. Dedicated to our commitment for sustainable development via our investments in recycled aluminium -the so-called ‘green’ aluminium - we proceeded to the acquisition of 97.87% of EPALME SA shares, in May 2019, reinforcing aluminium production and broadening our customer base, always in tandem with the international specifications and trends.
