Applications of copper slag in the construction sector

Copper slags generated during the primary copper smelting have, due to its favorable mineralogical and chemical composition, several possible end uses in resource demanding construction sector. are made via two different processing methods; slow air cooling or water granulation. Air results final well crystalline dense product, which is used usually as coarse aggregates building sector, however, granulation a sand-like material with high quantity of amorphous phase. The present paper gives overview recent reports good practices utilization these slags, including also some drawbacks potential issues certain type slag, either cooled granulated could serve guideline for selecting most promising applications
