In a recent review article published in the journal Metals, researchers from Australia focused on the extraction of valuable elements from industrial by-products like slag. The review article underscores the importance of metals in various industries and the challenges associated with securing a stable supply due to increasing demand and limited substitutions. The concept of technospheric mining, which involves recovering minerals from human-generated material stockpiles, is introduced as a key focus of the study.
