Researchers at CSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology in Bhubaneswar have created innovative refractory bricks from bauxite mineral waste. These bricks are environmentally friendly and can endure temperatures up to 1,400 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for industrial applications like coke ovens and glass production.

The development is significant for managing the substantial mining waste generated in India, particularly in regions rich in minerals. This solution not only reduces mining waste but also offers a cost-effective alternative for various industries.
