In order to promote the industrial production of red mud, the emission and physicochemical properties of red mud were analyzed in this paper, and the current situation of red mud industrial application in China were summarized.It’s pointed out that the main problems in the industrial application of red mud are lack of corporate responsibility of red mud users, high cost of disposal technology, lack of product standards, poor market recognition, restricted large-scale application, and less cross-sector collaborative utilization. Finally, suggestions were given to promote the comprehensive utilization of red mud:namely, establishing red mud utilization and product standard system, strengthening industry-academic research cooperation to further reduce the cost of red mud disposal, establishing inter-regional solid waste cooperation platform and building demonstration lines for cross-domain collaboration in red mud disposal.
