Waste copper slag is a typical hazardous solid waste containing variety of valuable elements and has not been effectively disposed so far. In this paper, stepwise extraction process was proposed to recover (copper, iron, lead zinc) from slag. The specific procedures are as follows: (1) A flotation adopted enrich copper, when the grade in concentrate 21.50%, recovery rate 77.78%. (2) tailings we...

The actual problem of mineral resources depletion in ferrous metallurgy can be effectively solved by complex reuse technogenic waste. That waste is mostly presented EAF (electric arc furnace) slag and LF (ladle slag. These two kinds have no full utilization. residues are going to the dump then locations pollute environment. However, transformed into valuable industrial product interaction compo...

As a by-product of the iron and steel industry, slag is rich in catalytically active substances can therefore be used as solid catalyst. Many studies have shown that application potential catalysis huge, which provides new development space for its application, thereby increasing additional utilization value. This article primarily reviews research progress catalytic fields such pyrolysis, orga...

Slag-based silicate fertilizer has been widely used to improve soil silicon- availability and crop productivity. A consecutive early rice-late rice rotation experiment was conducted to test the impacts of steel slag on soil pH, silicon availability, rice growth and metals-immobilization in paddy soil. Our results show that application of slag at a rate above higher or equal to 1 600 mg plant-av...

The objective of this study was to determine the chemical, radiological and leaching properties of slag and ash produced by a thermoelectric unit of a former factory Adriavinil and deposited in the area of Kasktel Gomilica near Split, Croatia. A total of 33 samples were analysed. The bioavailable fraction of the slag and ash was estimated using different leaching tests. The waste material was c...

A common feature shared by all pyrometallurgical smelting processes is the production of slag. Slag is usually a byproduct of metal production, although there are processes (such as ilmenite smelting, for example) where the slag is the principal product. Most slags contain a significant amount of heavy metals, the release of which can cause environmental problems. However, the recovery of these...

This study aims to investigate the activating effect of Na2CO3 and NaOH on the workability and mechanic strength of slag-based alkali activated materials with different alkali contents and water to binder ratios. The heat release during the reaction process of slag activated with sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide were monitored respectively to analyze the hydration process. Meanwhile, the w...
