冶金炉渣是炼铁、炼钢、铁合金和有色金属生产过程中冶炼的副产品。形成条件导致了矿渣独有的复杂化学和矿物学特征。历史上,炉渣作为废物被丢弃,通过释放潜在的有毒微量元素,对环境和人类健康构成危害。然而,我们越来越意识到以前被认为是废物的资源潜力,从而减少了环境影响,向循环经济迈进了一步。
本书总结了熔渣的生成过程,描述了熔渣的化学和矿物学特征,概述了推动熔渣风化的基本地球化学,并说明了熔渣的利用,是冶金熔渣环境地球化学和资源潜力的权威参考。人们特别关注矿渣在现代社会中的价值,因为它们被广泛用作土木工程中的建筑材料,并作为一种不可替代的过滤器,用于隔离多余的营养物质、病原体、金属和/或有机污染物,甚至温室气体。揭示了回收炉渣中残余有价金属的最新进展,包括提取绿色和前沿技术所需副产品元素的新技术。这本书对于环境地球化学家、地质学家、冶金学家、采矿和土木工程师、废物和资源管理者,以及所有那些对循环经济感兴趣并受到其启发的人来说,都是必不可少的读物,可以最大限度地减少我们在地球上的环境足迹。
Metallurgical Slags : Environmental Geochemistry and Resource Potential (True PDF)
Metallurgical slags are generated as a by-product of smelting during ironmaking, steelmaking, and the production of ferroalloys and non-ferrous metals. The formation conditions result in complex chemical and mineralogical characteristics unique to slags alone. Historically slags have been discarded as a waste product and, through release of potentially toxic trace elements, represent a hazard to the environment and human health. However, increasingly we are realizing the resource potential of what was previously thought of as waste, thus reducing the environmental impact and taking a step closer to a circular economy.
This book is a definitive reference on the environmental geochemistry and resource potential of metallurgical slags by summarizing processes for the generation of slags, describing their chemical and mineralogical characteristics, outlining the fundamental geochemistry that propels slag weathering, and illustrating the utilization of slags. Particular attention is given to the value of slags in modern society as they are widely used as construction materials in civil engineering, and as an irreplaceable filter in sequestering excess nutrients, pathogens, metal and/or organic contaminants, and even greenhouse gases. The latest developments on recovering residual valuable metals in slags, including new techniques for extracting by-product elements needed for green and frontier technologies, are revealed. This book is essential reading for environmental geochemists, geologists, metallurgists, mining and civil engineers, waste and resource managers, and all those interested and inspired by a circular economy and minimizing our environmental footprint on planet Earth.
