A porous material including a composite oxide body containing calcium oxide, iron oxide, and silica, and a plurality of inter-connecting microchannel structures is provided. A preparing method of porous material is further provided. With the inter-connecting microchannel structures of the porous material and the advantages of high porosity and large specific surface area, the porous material has a bright prospect in the fields of catalysts, filters, adsorption materials, and fuel carriers.

Systems and methods are described in which spent pickle liquor from metal cleaning processes is utilized to regenerate a lixiviant used to recover valuable metals from industrial waste and other sources. The spent pickle liquor is neutralized and solvated metals in the spent pickle liquor are precipitated in this process. When the industrial waste is slag from a metal refining process a partially closed metal production process can be implemented, where spent pickle liquor from cleaning of the refined metal is used to regenerate a lixiviant used to recover a different, valuable metal from a waste slag of the process, with precipitated salts from the lixiviant regeneration being returned as a raw material in the metal refining process. As a result waste streams from these processes are dramatically reduced or eliminated.

Methods of recovering coal combustion products (CCPs) from coal combination byproducts are disclosed. The methods include compiling coal combustion byproducts (e.g., lignite coal and/or bituminous coal), grinding the coal combustion byproducts to form ground coal combustion byproducts with a maximum particle size of 40 microns, and separating the ground coal combustion byproducts to yield CCPs using an electrostatic precipitator. The following CCPs can be separated from the coal combination byproducts using the presently disclosed methods: fly ash, bottom ash, scrubber materials, and raw coal.

A slag notch for a metallurgical vessel includes a steel member that defines a passageway for molten slag and a system for cooling the steel member.

A slag volume evaluation method for a molten metal surface includes calculating an approximation curve indicating a correspondence between a thickness of slag and a density parameter in advance by measuring thicknesses of a plurality of pieces of the slag which float on a surface of a molten metal in a container and differ from each other in thickness, and calculating a value of the density parameter which is correlated to a density in a pixel region corresponding to the plurality of pieces of the slag in a captured image of a molten metal surface in the container; and calculating a volume of the slag by calculating and integrating the thickness of the slag for each of pixels constituting the captured image obtained by capturing an image of the molten metal surface which is an evaluation target, according to a value of the density parameter of each of the pixels and the approximation curve.

The invention relates to a processing method of a battery pack that includes at least a battery body and a resin. The processing method includes a step of covering the battery pack with a slag that is at a predetermined temperature.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag such that a large amount of Ca can be eluted from the steelmaking slag into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. The present invention executes, in this order: a step for removing an iron-containing compound from steelmaking slag by performing magnetic separation on the steelmaking slag; and a step for bringing the steelmaking slag subjected to magnetic separation into contact with an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. In addition, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide and the steelmaking slag are brought into contact with each other while the steelmaking slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steelmaking slag is being ground.
