Most mines around the world which mine copper evolve over time to optimize the plants efficiency but with BCL mine it used old conventional recovery without taking into account beneficiation of slag hence the slag has concentrated copper in the slag since the inception of the mine.
One of the possibilities for influencing the slag regime is the application of synthetic slags to the ladle slag, formed from slag-making additions during the liquid steel tapping. Synthetic slag practice during secondary steelmaking maximizes the efficiency of the steel refining process by (i) improving steel quality, (ii) improving ...
In addition to the beneficiation process development, a new simulation tool is developed which can be used for planning and optimization of the process for various secondary raw materials. The simulation tool covers the whole refining process starting from slag by introducing respective modelling capabilities as a customization of the …

Outotec has signed a landmark contract for the delivery of an iron ore beneficiation and travelling grate pelletizing plant to Africa. The parties have agreed to not disclose the value of the contract. "This new greenfield plant is the first integrated beneficiation and pelletizing plant we are delivering globally.
Solid waste management in steel industry is a frontline environmental challenge as the enormous quantum and diverse types of solid wastes, generated during steelmaking, require addressing a plethora of environmental issues such as waste minimisation, hazardous waste management, recovery of resources, waste recycle and …
The pressure on the steel industry to reduce its carbon footprint has led to discussions to replace coke as the main reductant for iron ore and turn to natural gas, …
Background: The slag generated at Indian charge chrome plants is associated with various amounts of charge chrome values. It has been established that charge chromes present in the slag are magnetic in nature. Hence, investigations have been carried out to recover these values lost in the slag in order to enhance and improve the productivity of the …

Steel slag is the main waste product in the steelmaking process. Because of its chemical composition and technical properties, it can be reused as raw material in steel plants and can serve as a substitute for aggregates in civil engineering. In this paper, we reviewed steel slag treatment, recycling, and management in China.
