Copper slag waste has continued to cause increasing concerns due to the huge volumes
being produced annually worldwide. This paper presents a review of copper slag as a …

Slag is a waste product from the pyrometallurgical processing of various ores. Based on
over 150 published studies, this paper provides an overview of mineralogical and …

Smelting activity by its very nature produces large amounts of metal-bearing waste, often
called metallurgical slag (s). In the past, industry used to dispose of these waste products at …

Solid metalliferous wastes (sludges, dusts, residues, slags, red mud and tailing wastes)
originating from ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgical industries are a serious environmental …

Steel slag is a solid waste of the steel industry, produced during steel production. Three
types of slag, namely electric arc furnace (EAF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), and Linz …

Cu-slags are a by-product of pyrometallurgical processing and contain elevated
concentrations of metallic elements that may be released during weathering. Hence, they …

Global economy faces an increasing problem of the supply risk of critical raw materials,
therefore the search for secondary resources has become an urgent issue. Copper …

In this study, a hydrometallurgical method for the recovery of copper, cobalt, and zinc from
copper slag flotation tailings (SFT) was investigated. SFT contains large amounts of valuable …

Metallurgical slags are generated as a by-product of smelting during ironmaking,
steelmaking, and the production of ferroalloys and non-ferrous metals. The formation …

Metallurgical wastes contain metals that are unrecovered during industrial processing. The
disposal of these wastes is technically difficult due to the potential release of metals through …
