STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF EXTRACTING EXPENSIVE COMPONENTS FROM COPPER INDUSTRY SLAG WASTE

Abstract

Today, as production improves, the demand for expensive components is growing. In addition to production, productivity in factories has increased and the production of a large number of minerals in industry is increasing. One of the leading areas of non-ferrous metallurgy is the copper industry. As copper production increases, so does the amount of industrial waste. 85% of the copper produced in the world is obtained pyrometallurgically. In the production of pyrometallurgical copper, a large amount of waste in the form of slag from melting furnaces is several times higher than the cost of finished products. Increased requirements for waste to protect the environment are increasing. A number of valuable useful components are required from waste slags that are transported and processed, using innovative technologies. Therefore, the extraction of expensive components from the waste of slag production of copper is one of the main tasks today.
