Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

In view of the outstanding problems of high output, large stock, complex types, complex composition and difficult treatment of industrial solid waste produced by copper, lead and zinc smelting in China, the types and disposal of industrial solid waste produced by copper, lead and zinc smelting in China were introduced in detail, including the treatment process and new technology of landmark industrial solid waste such as copper smelting slag, slag dressing tailings, white smoke, fuming furnace slag, cadmium smoke, zinc leaching slag, zinc volatilization kiln slag, etc. A new technical route for collaborative treatment of copper, lead and zinc smelting solid waste was proposed. Combined with the types and disposal characteristics of industrial solid waste produced by copper, lead and zinc smelting, a comprehensive copper, lead and zinc smelting base or industrial park, and coordinate the treatment of industrial solid waste produced by copper, lead and zinc smelting should be constructed, which can effectively improve the comprehensive recovery rate and utilization efficiency of valuable metal elements and reduce the comprehensive smelting cost.
