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 …

The mining industry faces a number of challenges that include rapid depletion of high-grade
deposits, high energy cost for metal production, and growing environmental concerns …

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 …

Flotation is one of the most important methods for recovering copper from copper slag,
However, traditional grinding may be over grinding sometimes, resulting in smaller interface …

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

Mining and smelting of Cu ores in the Rudawy Janowickie Mountains (southwestern Poland)
from the 14th to the 16th century produced pyrometallurgical slags which currently form …

Waste materials such as metallurgical slags can be considered as potential resources of
valuable elements, including technologically critical metals. Copper slags from Luanshya …

A geochemical approach combining chemical and mineralogical studies together with pH-
dependent leaching experiments was applied to carry out an environmental risk assessment …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of (bio) hydrometallurgical methods for
metal extraction from historical copper slags. Two types of slags (amorphous slag—AS, and …
