Description
  • Slags from base metal smelting are often deposited for over 100 years with no barriers between the heap and the surrounding environment. Observations at the external surfaces of the slag heaps may not reflect the state of the slag material inside the slag heap. A slag heap from Zn-Pb ore smelting (Swietochlowice, Upper Silesia, Poland) was disturbed during recent slag removal and the freshly uncovered surfaces are examined in this study. The material forming the interior of the slag heap is fine-grained (up to 5 cm) and strongly weathered (called the weathered slag zone) in contrast to the large slag boulders on the surface of the slag heap (up to 2 m), which are only slightly weathered. The weathered slag zone is composed of gypsum and hematite plus a mixture of primary and other secondary phases. The weathered material as a whole is chemically more homogenous than unweathered slags and has lower Si and higher Fe, Pb (up to 3 wt.%) and Cd (up to 560 mg/kg) concentrations. SEM images show that primary slag phases are porous and disintegrated. The examined surfaces are 3-4 m high and 10-30 m wide suggesting that such slag weathering may have occurred in more extensive parts of the slag heap. Weathering affects slag types with different phase compositions and is therefore controlled by specific conditions occurring within the heap, not by the type of slag. These conditions are so far not well defined, but may include prolonged slag deposition, slow water transfer within the heap and interaction of slags with acid rains common in the Upper Silesia region. The weathered slag zone, when confined within the slag heap, acts as a sink for many potentially toxic elements, decreasing their release to the environment. However, this may change dramatically when the zone is uncovered and its deposit conditions change.
