Waste from slag processes in primary and secondary production

Slags are an integral part of metallurgical processes, especially in the mining and processing of precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum. During heat treatment of ore, both in primary and secondary production, significant volumes of slag are formed. These wastes contain both useful and harmful substances that can affect the environment and human health. It is important to realize the scope of the problem and take the necessary measures to manage slag waste.

Thermal processes in metallurgy, in particular during the extraction and purification of silver, gold and platinum, are accompanied by the formation of slag. Slags are residual materials consisting of metal oxides, silicates and other components that are formed as a result of ore melting. Depending on the production technology, slags can contain valuable metals, such as gold or silver, as well as harmful impurities, such as heavy metals and toxic compounds.

In the process of primary production, when the ore first passes through heat treatment, the largest amount of slag is formed. Secondary production, which includes waste processing or the use of secondary materials, also generates a significant amount of slag, but it may have a different composition and properties. In any case, slags require proper management because they can harm the environment and human health. Services for waste management, collection and processing: Slags from primary and secondary production Code of NPV 10 07 01.

Slags from primary and secondary production. Code according to the National List of Waste 10 07 01. Operations according to Appendices 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, R5.

The management of slag waste from primary and secondary production requires an integrated approach, which includes various methods of ecological management of slag waste.

First of all, it is necessary to carry out operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) of slag waste from primary and secondary production. This will make it possible to separate useful components from harmful ones and reduce the volume of waste to be stored or processed.

An important element is the transportation of slag waste from primary and secondary production to places of their processing or storage. It is necessary to ensure proper tightness of vehicles and avoid spilling of slag during transportation.

One ​​of the effective methods of reducing the damage from slags is their reuse (R5). For example, slag can be used in construction to make cement or road pavement. This will reduce the volume of waste and reduce the burden on the environment.

To reduce the impact of slag on the environment and human health, it is also necessary to ensure proper storage of slag. Storage places must be equipped with protection systems against leakage of toxic substances into the soil and water, as well as air quality control systems.
