Copper slag, a by-product of copper refining, can be used in industrial cleaning, construction, and concrete. It is a safer alternative to silica sand and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. However, it may contain heavy metals and is classified as hazardous waste. Copper slag is a by-product created during the copper smelting and refining process. […]
Slag is a by-product of metal smelting and is used in various industrial processes, including as a component of concrete, road materials, ballast, and fertilizer. It is produced during smelting as unwanted impurities and as a protective crust of oxides on top of the metal. After aging, it can be sold for use in other […]
Slag cement, a byproduct of iron production, is a consistent and eco-friendly material used in concrete. It improves processability, finishability, and strength while reducing permeability and greenhouse gas emissions. Slag cement has been used for over a century and is now widely available in the US. Recent manufacturing advances and terminal capacity expansion have led […]
Slag is waste material that must be removed and treated separately or disposed of safely. It can be dangerous, poisonous or impure. The term originally referred to impurities in metal smelting, but is now used more generally to refer to impurities in other refining processes and even metaphorically. The term “slag” is used to describe […]
