Slag is a by-product or co-product of smelting ores and recycling metals, generated depending on the material being produced. It is mainly a mixture of metal oxides and silicon dioxide and is broadly classified as ferrous, ferroalloy, or non-ferrous and base metal slag, with further categories such as blast furnace slag, air-cooled blast furnace slag, granulated blast furnace slag, basic oxygen furnace slag, and electric arc furnace slag; slag from the electric arc furnace process can contain toxic metals that pose hazards to human and environmental health.
