REVIEW OF MODERN RESEARCH ON THE PROCESSING OF COPPER INDUSTRY SLAGS (ANALYSIS)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Based on the requirements of today's industrialized world, many metallurgical plants have established the processing of secondary raw materials. This can be attributed to low ore reserves and the environmental disaster caused by waste from metallurgical enterprises. The most effective way to rationally use and conserve underground reserves is to intensify the use of mining and metallurgical industry waste. JSC “Almalyk MMC” is one of the largest industrial enterprises of the Republic of Uzbekistan, where a total of 500 thousand tons of copper slags are formed annually from industrial processes. Usually, copper slags contain approximately 32-37% iron and 0.5-1.5% copper, which indicates that it is a valuable secondary source for processing. Thus, due to the rational use of copper slags and growing environmental concern, the development of appropriate technology for the comprehensive use of copper slags, characterized as hazardous materials, is very relevant today.
