Processing Mining Slags

The Importance of Metallurgical Slags and Their Evaluation

Smelting, the process of extracting base metals from their natural states (ores), has been used since the bronze age to create precious and useful metals. Ore is decomposed in smelting with heat and a chemical reducing agent such as calcium, driving off other elements as gases or slag and leaving the metal base behind.

Gold Solubility in Smelting Slags for the Recycling of

Gold mine tailings contain gold about 1-2 mg/kg. This is the reason why Au-containing materials such as e-wastes and mining wastes are highly important sources . From the viewpoint of pyrometallurgical processing, the distribution ratio of gold between metal and slag and the solubility of gold in slags have been scarcely reported.

Clean recycling of Zn-bearing slags by a plasma fuming process

Slag fuming is a traditional technology for the treatment of Zn-bearing slags [10], [11]. In this process, oxides, such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and lead oxide (PbO), are reduced by various reductants such as carbon (C), carbon monoxide (CO), and pyrolysis gas and evaporate from the molten slag bath [12], [13], [14].

Mineralogical, geochemical, and leaching study of historical Cu-slags

1. Introduction. Slags are byproducts of mining and processing of ore minerals (Ettler et al., 2009; Piatak et al., 2015; Potysz et al., 2015).These metallurgical byproducts are significant in volume; for example, it is estimated that in order to produce a given amount of copper (e.g. 1 ton) the process generates twice the equivalent volume of slag (e.g. 2 tons) …
