To recover Fe, Zn and Cu to water-soluble form, the mixture of 150 g of copper slag and 60 g of 85% sulfuric acid was granulated and then roasted in the temperature range of 473–643 K (200–370 °C) …

Iron smelting is the common way in which metals are produced. It is normally performed in a blast furnace which is the conventional method. Smelting is the production of metal, especially iron, from ore in a process that involves melting and chemical reduction of metal compounds into purified metal. it can also be seen as the various liquids or semi-molten …

The depletion of high-grade ore minerals and the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves are challenging factors for metallurgical industries in the future. Also, extensive mining for increased steel demand results in the generation of fines often found unsuitable for use as direct feedstock for the production of metals and alloys. Apart from mines …

Copper slag is composed of iron silicate obtained by smelting copper …

The presented work offers an innovative process scheme for valorizing Pb-Zn slag, which involves crushing, grinding, and separation techniques to concentrate valuable components (non-ferrous metals). This methodology could have a significant impact on the global beneficiation of metallurgical slags since it is significantly more simple, …

Nickel smelting slag contains valuable metals including nickel and copper. Failure to recycle these metals wastes resources, and disposal of nickel slag in stockpiles results in environmental pollution. Nickel slag recycling is important, and metals can be recovered from slag by flotation. However, considering the complex forms in which …

12.3 Primary Copper Smelting 12.3.1 General1 Copper ore is produced in 13 states. In 1989, Arizona produced 60 percent of the total U. S. ore. Fourteen domestic mines accounted for more than 95 percent of the 1.45 megagrams (Mg) (1.6 millon tons) of ore produced in 1991. Copper is produced in the U. S. primarily by pyrometallurgical …

Copper smelting and refining facilities produce 2.5 million metric tons (MT) of smelter slag and 1.5 million MT of slag tailings per year. This is a large volume of slag, however, it is very small compared to comparable waste volumes from mining and crushing operations.

Steel slag can also be produced by smelting iron ore in a basic oxygen furnace. According to methods for cooling molten steel slag, steel slag is classified into five types: natural air-cooling steel slag, water-spray steel slag, water-quenching steel slag, air-quenching steel slag, and shallow box chilling steel slag [47,48].

With the purpose of recovering the metal values, in this study the copper slag was reduced by coke and biochar at 1250 °C in an argon gas atmosphere using the isothermal reduction/drop quenching technique. The phase compositions of metal, matte, and slag were determined using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The effects of …

Copper slag is composed of iron silicate obtained by smelting copper concentrate and silica flux. One of the most important criteria for the utilization of this secondary resource is the recovery of iron from the slag matrix to decrease the volume of dumped slag. The molten oxidation process with crushing magnetic separation …

Smelting process refers to the method of reducing iron oxide in high-temperature melting state, its product is liquid molten iron with similar composition to blast furnace molten iron (Guo et al., 2018a, Guo et al., 2018b; Heo et al., 2016). Usually, the high temperature reduction and smelting separation of metal oxides (or sulfides) in CSS …

Fig. 2 illustrates the iron ore beneficiation process, particularly magnetic separation, resulting in the generation of inevitable tailings. Due to the characteristics of iron ores and the conditions during beneficiation, it is inevitable that approximately 2.5–3 tons of IOTs are generated for every 1 ton of iron ore concentrate produced [7].In 2019, …

Copper slag is a by-product obtained during smelting and refining of copper. Copper smelting slag typically contains about 1 wt.% copper and 40 wt.% iron depending upon the initial ore quality and the furnace type. Main components of copper slag are iron oxide and silica. These exist in copper slag mainly in the form of fayalite (2FeO ·SiO2). …

One of the earliest known methods of iron smelting was the bloomery process. This ancient technique, dating as far back as 1200 BCE, involved heating iron ore in a furnace with charcoal.
