Processing of sulfidic concentrates of copper-zinc ore via bioleaching techniques was studied in this paper.
Some physical and mechanical properties of copper slag is shown in Table 2. Air-cooled copper slag has a black colour and glassy appearance. The specific gravity varies with iron content, from a low of 2.8 to as high as 3.8. The unit weight of copper slag is somewhat higher than that of conventional aggregate.
higher absorption capacity than air-cooled copper slag. The granulated copper slag is made up of regularly shaped angular particles, mostly between 4.75 and 0.075 mm3. Slags produced during pyrometallurgical processes have been traditionally considered as a waste3. In the case of copper extraction processes, it has been estimated that for every ...

In smelting, copper-rich matte containing sulphides and copper slag as by-product are formed [].For every ton of copper produced during smelting and refining operations, approximately 2.2–3 tons of fayalite slag is produced and the management of these significant quantities is difficult [2,3].Copper slags contain high amounts of iron, …
Copper slag was characterized and processed. The pyro-metallurgical processing prospects to generate utilizable materials were arrived at through rigorous thermodynamic analysis. Carbothermal reduction at elevated temperature (near 1440°C) helped recover a majority of the metal values (e.g., Fe, Cu and Mo) into the iron-rich alloy product ...
Today's copper industry sees itself confronted with a variety of different residues and by-products. This situation can be explained by the decreasing content of copper in the primary ore concentrate and the multitude of further downstream processes and applications. This work aims at giving an overview of the different residues that …
Copper slag, which is the waste material produced in the extraction process of copper metal in refinery plants, has low cost, and its application as a fine aggregate in concrete …
To learn more about metal slag processing and find out who to contact, simply go to LEGRAN Recycling metal slag is also good for the environment. Processing this material creates both environmental and …
This flowchart made of machinery icons explains or expresses in simple but clear terms the step of the Copper Mining and Copper Extraction Process. Starting from either open-pit or underground …
Copper slag, a by-product of the pyrometallurgical process used for obtaining copper from copper ore in Bor, Serbia, contains mainly silicon, iron, calcium, and aluminium oxides. Due to such properties, it is …
matte, crude mixture of molten sulfides formed as an intermediate product of the smelting of sulfide ores of metals, especially copper, nickel, and lead. Instead of being smelted directly to metal, copper ores are usually smelted to matte, preferably containing 40–45 percent copper along with iron and sulfur, which is then treated by converting in a Bessemer …
Copper can either exist in sulphide or oxide phase but in smelter slag copper is found to exist in sulphide phase with [26] indicating that copper in sulphide phase was 0.81 (wt.%) whereas in ...
ges from wastewater treatment processes that require reuse/recovery or appropriate disposal. The main portion of the solid waste is dis-carded slag from the smelter. Discard slag may contain 0.5–0.7% copper and is frequently used as construction material or for sandblasting. Leaching processes produce residues, while ef-
It comprises 5 stages, namely: (i) air oxidation of the copper slag at a temperature above 800 °C for 2 h; (ii) hydrothermal treatment of the oxidized slag with sodium hydroxide solution (140...
The matte, about 45 to 55 percent copper and the remainder iron silicate slag, is formed in a very fast, almost instantaneous reaction; hence the name "flash smelting.". The matte sinks through the lighter …
copper flow is essentially continuous from a Weir, whereas in the Noranda system copper is tapped periodically after settling periods; and slag is cleaned by passing through the low oxygen potential feed …
The copper concentrate is first sent through the smelting furnace to be heated up to 2,300 °F and converted into molten liquid. The heated liquid is poured into a slag-settling furnace. This step produces a …
In the production of copper from sulfide ore, slag accumulates at the processing plant. In the present work, the phase transformations that occur in such slag during its reduction by the gasification products of carbon at 1100 and 1200°C are investigated. Experiments show that most of the iron present in such slag may be …
In general, high-grade copper concentrates can be obtained through the treatment of copper slag by the flotation process, which includes coarse crushing, fine grinding, size grading, mineral/reagent mixing, select flotation, and dehydration. The typical flow process diagram of floatation is illustrated in Fig. 5.
Copper slag is a by-product obtained during smelting and refining of copper. The waste copper slag can be used as abrasive tools, road construction, and ballast. Despite increasing rate of reusing copper slag, the huge amount of its annual production is disposed in dumps or stockpiles to date.
Copper slag is generated when copper and nickel ores are recovered from their parent ores using a pyrometallurgical process, and these ores usually contain other …
Copper smelting slag is a by-product of the pyrometallurgical process. 2–3 tons slag is generated for producing per ton of copper [ 2 ]. Approximately 35.2 million tons were produced globally in 2022 [ 3 ]. In the modern smelting process, copper smelting slag contains 1–6% copper and 35–45% iron [ 1 ].

The copper slag has been used for cement material, sand blasting, reclamation and so on. However, most of the copper slag is stacked high as waste since the production exceeds demand.
atmosphere. Crushing and grinding systems used in ore, flux, and slag processing also contribute to fugitive dust problems. Control of SO2 from smelters is commonly performed in a sulfuric acid plant. Use of a sulfuric acid plant to treat copper smelter effluent gas streams requires that particulate-free gas
This trend has had a detrimental effect on smelters as they have to increase throughput to maintain copper metal production, while increasing operating costs due to processing the increased amounts of secondary products (slag, …

Copper slag, which is produced during pyrometallurgical production of copper from copper ores contains materials like iron, alumina, calcium oxide, silica etc. For every tonne of metal production about 2.2 ton of slag is generated. Dumping or disposal of such huge quantities of slag cause environmental and space problems.
