Abstract

Nowadays, mining and metallurgical enterprises are necessarily involved in recovering of technogenic deposits generated by their operations. By doing so, they obtain additional mineral resources and improve the environment situation. Studies of the processability of pelletized slag from copper-nickel process tailings (Kola MMC, JSC) have disclosed the possibility of extracting nonferferrous metals via flotation. It has been shown that the flotation tailings of copper-nickel slag can be processed to obtain building ceramic materials with advanced physical-mechanical characteristics.
