| Abstract Scope |
Copper slag, as one of the significant global bulk solid wastes, has increasingly become a key factor restricting the green development of the copper industry. It contains valuable elements such as copper, iron, lead, and zinc, with copper and iron grades surpassing those of corresponding industrial minerals. The research on the resource utilization of copper slag has continuously evolved, and there have been significant achievements in extracting different valuable components from copper slag. With the growing environmental awareness, the concept of low-carbon and energy-saving has gradually infiltrated the processing technology of copper slag. This article focuses on the comprehensive review of the direct application of hot-state copper slag processes, presenting research achievements in the past 20 years regarding the depletion and reduction of copper from slag. Additionally, future research directions for copper slag are proposed, providing a theoretical foundation for the resource utilization and greening of copper slag. |
