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 …

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 …

During mining, only 4–8% is converted to final products, and the rest is accumulated in
landfills. There is a lack of research on the study of various patterns and mechanisms of the …

Herein, the room-temperature sulfuric acid leaching of copper smelter slag powder in the
presence of potassium dichromate was investigated, resulting in the selective extraction of …

Although many technologies have been introduced to recover valuable metals from copper
slags, their economic and environmental compatibilities were not satisfactory. The …

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 …

Large amounts of copper slag are produced every year and major fractions of it are currently
disposed, not withstanding the multiple ways the material can be used. Application of the …

The possibility of hydrometallurgical processing of converter slag from nickel production
aimed at integrated use of mineral raw materials and environmental protection is shown …

Copper content in copper smelter slag exceeds that in copper ores, which has attracted
increasing interest to recover copper from this by-product of pyrometallurgical copper …

A solid waste from zinc production, zinc plant residue (ZPR) is a valuable resource for the
recovery of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and silver (Ag). However, the ferritic structure of ZPR makes …
