An earlier work noted that magnetic separation is a feasible way to recover iron from the tailings of waste copper slag flotation. Unfortunately, the iron grade of magnetic products and the recovery of iron by the magnetic separation process is relatively low, only 52.21% and 38.09%, respectively, due to the

Slag viscosity during iron recovery from nickel slag by aluminum dross was studied from 1773 to 1873 K, and the viscosity evolution in different periods was systemically discussed.
A process for the recovery of iron from copper slag which comprises: i. selecting and grinding the copper slag to [the] a size in the range of 2-15 mm. ii. mixing homogeneously copper slag, a reductant and a flux in the ratio range between 20:1:4 to 20:3:10. iii.
Approximately 2.0–3.0 t of copper slag (CS) containing 35%–45% iron is generated for every ton of copper produced during the pyrometallurgical process from copper concentrate. Therefore, the recovery of iron from CS utilizes a valuable metal and alleviates the environmental stress caused by stockpile. In this paper, a new method has been developed to realize the enrichment of iron in CS ...
With high-quality iron ore grades with an iron content of 64 to 67 %, a blast furnace typically produces about 0.25 to 0.30 t of slag per t of pig iron. In the case of inferior grade ores below 60 %, the amount of slag is typically 0.35 to 0.50 slag/t of pig iron [1].

12%Steelmaking slags are usually processed for iron recovery by dry magnetic separation. The recovered iron-rich products are recycled back into the ironmaking and steelmaking processes to replace high-cost steel scrap and iron ores. However, current slag processing is far away from optimum conditions, especially for slag …
There are two main ways for recovering iron from the copper slag: (i) first, Fe 2 SiO 4 is oxidized to Fe 3 O 4, and then the Fe 3 O 4 enriched concentrate can be obtained by magnetic separation (Zhang et al., 2005).The iron recovery in concentrate obtained by this way is low, and the Fe 3 O 4 concentrate needs to be reduced again to obtain metallic iron. (ii) Copper slag is reduced by …
Abstract Copper slag is produced in large amounts in seven copper smelter plants in Chile, and it is estimated that around four million tons of slag are disposed every year, and another 40–45 million tons are historically cumulated. Copper slag contains iron in the range of 42–45%, which can be recovered and recycled along with the contained copper to obtain an iron–copper alloy and a ...
The most striking feature of this separation process is the variation of cobalt recovery according to the iron content in the alloy. This behaviour is shown in Figure 4. It can be seen that the recovery of cobalt (in percentage terms) is highest (albeit not by very much) in the case of the slag …
The iron recovery from lead slag is difficult through the use of conventional mineral processing methods, whereas iron recovery is feasible via the direct reduction process (Guo et al., 2018). Iron is mainly in the form of fayalite (Fe 2 SiO 4 ) and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ); therefore, it can be extracted as iron concentration via direct reduction ...
3. Steelmaking Slag Processing Technology The iron/steel slag processing flow is schematically shown in Fig. 2. Steelmaking slag is subjected to the following four process-es: ① solidify and cooling of the hot molten slag, ② crushing and magnetic separation treatment of the slag to recover the metal iron,
A Study on the Recovery of Iron from Copper Slag with [14] Y. Liao, J. Zhou, F. Huang, Separating and recycling of Fe, Temperature, International Journal of Applied Engineering Cu, Zn from dumped copper slag by microwave irradiation Research, Number 2, 977-982 (2018).
The slag processor must also be aware of the general aggregate requirements of the end user. The processing of steel slags for metals recovery is not only important to remove excess steel at the market source for reuse at the steel plant, but is also important to facilitate the use of the nonmetallic steel slag as construction aggregate.
A smelting process for iron recovery and slag conditioning was investigated. Two slags were produced in an EAF under different fluxing conditions using lime and silica as fluxing agents. Iron was mainly recovered to the metal. Low S and acceptable P contents were achieved in the metal product.
In addition, the use the energy of molten slag could reduce the process costs [43]. Moreover, bioleaching can be used for recovering metals, depending on the slag composition. Recently, a test on BOF slag for bacterial leaching and recovery of aluminium (Al), chromium (Cr) and vanadium (V) has been performed [44].
12%Under the optimal conditions, 93.67% iron from the raw ore was recovered in the form of iron nugget with 95.44% iron grade. After a water leaching process, 85.61% of the vanadium from the roasting slag was leached, confirming the sodium oxidation of most of the vanadium oxides to water-soluble sodium vanadate during the roasting process.
Slag is the glass-like by-product left over after a desired metal has been separated (i.e., smelted) from its raw ore.Slag is usually a mixture of metal oxides and silicon dioxide.However, slags can contain metal sulfides and elemental metals. While slags are generally used to remove waste in metal smelting, they can also serve other purposes, such as assisting in the temperature control of ...
The present invention provides a method of separating and recovering iron from a waste non-ferrous slag, generated in a process for smelting of non-ferrous metals, including copper, zinc and lead, in which a reducing agent and a reaction catalyst are added to the crushed waste non-ferrous slag, and the mixture is subjected to a reduction reaction, thereby converting amorphous iron oxides ...
Kinetic parameters for the slag sample decomposition process, as well as for zinc, copper and iron recovery process to water-soluble form, are found from the plots of 1 − (1 − X) 1/3 versus time at three operating temperatures (Table 5).
Custom-designed for each application, our slag processing plants keeps the maximum environmental impact in mind. At our Metal Recovery Plant, a crushing and magnetic separation process is used to recover the metal contained in iron and steelmaking slag. This can then be effectively reused in the steelmaking process.
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 ...

RECOVERY OF URANIUM .l"ROM SLAG FROM THE ELECTRIC FURNACE PliJDUCTION OF PHOSPHORUS* by H. z. Cammack and G. L. Bridger ABSTRACT v When phosphate rock is reduced to elemental phosphorus with coke in the electric furnace process, the uranium in the phosphate rock virtually all goes into the by-product slag.
Thus, processing in the molten condition to recover the valuables is more energy efficient. Maweja et al. had attempt to clean the copper smelting slag from a water-jacket furnace by direct reduction (Maweja et al., 2009). But more coal were used to obtain the higher metals recovery, resulting in unacceptably high iron content in matte phase.
Smelting of ilmenite to produce titania slag allows for the recovery of iron as high purity pig iron. However, in the production of synthetic rutile from ilmenite sands, iron is returned to the ...
Recovery of iron from the copper slag is very essential not only for recycling the valuable metals and mineral resources but also for protecting the environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of separating fayalite by oxidation-reduction process into Magnetite and silicate phases in intermediate temperature condition.
