Love the material on materials. Here's challenge for you. If you had access to carbon free high temperature heat at 700C, and very low cost electricity, also carbon free. What practical processes could you apply to recover more material from the Red Mud left over from processing bauxite into alumina? If making commercial materials from that toxic cocktail is too challenging, what processes could be applied to at least reduce the toxicity of remaining Red Mud?
@@TaylorSparks Woww enserio? No tenía idea. Tienes familia por aquí o estabas estudiando? Yo soy de La Plata, pero conozco los lugares que mencionaste. Ahora mismo estoy estudiando ingeniería en Materiales aquí en La Plata así que me encanta escuchar el podcast.
@@fandethejugador yo era misionero de mí iglesia. Nunca fui a La Plata, pero no está lejos. Ahora una familia de argentina vive con nosotros en Utah mientras se muda. Acá.
The proposal was for an inert cathode or inert anode? Isn't it the anode that is consumed when the carbon electrode combines with oxygen liberated during the process?
@@gsiddall6091 yeah, we usually put them in our show notes. Jared is in charge of that. Were they not included this week? I can bug him to get them posted
This podcast! I am loving my field! greetings from Ethiopia?
Thank you Prof. Sparks!
Thanks for this episode. And guys please add "materials" at the end of "hot shortness" if you want to look it up on youtube.

Great episode. Pyrometallurgy will grow a lot over the upcoming years. Maybe bio-mining can grow to ensure that some of this growth is a bit greener😉
wow, thats look interesting mate, later I will listen the full episode
Loving this podcast! Greetings from Argentina
@@fandethejugador Argentina!? Que parte?? Yo vivía allí por dos años. Mar Del Plata, Bahía Blanca, Pehuajó, Laprida. Me encanta ese país.

Could you increase the volume, please? I have to turn it all the way up at my end and then the ads are super loud.
Oh ya? For sure.

@@KyleDunnIt yes anode. Did I mispeak?
do you share a list of sources?
