Globally, around 32.9% of steel output consists of slags, non-metallic by-products with varying chemical compositions depending on production methods.<\/p>\n<p>Among these, ladle steel slag, presents specific challenges due to its high reactivity with water and humidity, limiting its reuse and leading to frequent landfilling.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its complex composition, ladle slag retains valuable elemental and energetic potential, making its valorization essential for sustainable resource management.<\/p>\n<p>STILLMETAL (acronym for <strong>&#8220;SusTaInable sLag process to obtain a valuabLe METAL&#8221;<\/strong>) is a collaborative project between Opigeo, Itlaghisa, Zerocento and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) RawMaterials.
