Abstract
Hydrometallurgical systems, methods, and compositions are described in which organic amine-based lixiviants are utilized in the selective removal of carbonate-forming alkaline earth elements from slag. The resulting processed slag has a reduced tendency to form carbonate salts on environmental exposure, and reduced tendency to fracture due to the formation of such salts. The lixiviant used can be regenerated and recycled for use in subsequent iterations of the process.
