Taking into account the rela- tively considerable content and availability of scandium, red mud can be viewed as an important and promising scandium resource rather than a solid waste. This paper is primarily to review the investigations of scandium recov- ery from red mud based on the most widely used hydrometallurgical processes including acid leaching, sol- vent extraction and ion exchange adsorption. It is thought that recovery of scandium from red mud should be con- sidered as a direct objective rather than a by-product in the development of overall flowsheet. In order to achieve environmentally-friendly processes with high scandium recovery and low cost, more attention is required to be paid to optimizing the selective leaching of scandium to decrease mineral acid consumption and alleviate pollution, and developing new solvent extraction systems and novel ion exchange adsorption materials with high selectivity and recognition for scandium.展开更多
