      本次报告的大概内容为：auxite residue (BR) generated in large quantities from the alumina refining industry has raised great concerns for environmental pollution. The primary problem for BR is its high alkalinity, which is highly hazardous. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) exploiting the alkalinity of bauxite residue was shown to be a promising strategy to reuse BR. Subsequent to the dissolution of BR alkaline constituents, additional surface area could emerge as well as the increase in hematite content. Due to these characteristics, BR as small particles can be utilized as an adsorbent for the mitigation of environmental pollution. Indeed, BR was demonstrated to be capable of removing phosphorus and ciprofloxacin, representing a nutrient and an antibiotics, both frequently detected as aquatic pollutants. The iron and aluminum oxides in BR were found to play important roles in the adsorption process for these two pollutants. Thus, BR could be used not only for the removal of pollutants but also for the recovery of nutrients at the food-energy-water nexus.
