Raman spectrum of callaghanite, Cu2Mg2(CO3)(OH)6·2H2O, was studied and compared with published Raman spectra of azurite, malachite and hydromagnesite. Stretching and bending vibrations of carbonate and hydroxyl units and water molecules were tentatively assigned. Approximate O-H…O hydrogen bond lengths were inferred from the spectra. Because of the high content of hydroxyl ions in the crystal structure in comparison with low content of carbonate units, callaghanite should be better classified as a carbonatohydroxide than a hydroxycarbonate.

Bauxite residue is a solid waste produced during alumina production process, and the storage of that in China reached 0.6 billion tons with an increase of more than 70 million annually. Bauxite residue can be used to remove heavy metals from water.
