The “Slag Valorisation Symposium”, organised by the Materials Engineering Department at KU Leuven and held in Belgium since 2009 as a biennial conference, serves as a forum for discussions on the valorisation of slags and other metallurgical residues as well as numerous industrial process waste streams. The symposium has historically brought together different expertise from academia and industry, providing a knowledge platform to share and discuss the upcoming challenges and opportunities in the world of slag and residue valorisation and sustainable high-temperature processes. After a successful physical edition in 2023, the 9th edition will have again high-level speakers from globally recognised organisations. The symposium aims to cover several topics, from the scientific and technical relevance of slag and residue valorisation to its environmental and economic impacts. The quality of the scientific committee, selected among the most recognised experts in this field, will ensure the highest standards of the accepted works.
The objective of the 9th edition of the International Slag Symposium – From Residues to Resources and Resilience – is to discuss and share the most updated findings in the field of slag and metallurgical residues valorisation, metals recovery, slag’s or metallurgical residues’ life cycle analysis, policy for wastes and residues valorisation guided by climate neutrality and resource efficiency principles.
The contributions submitted by the participants, together with the lectures from the invited speakers, will enhance discussions and new ideas towards a more sustainable future.
Our team will be present to talk about “Advanced data-driven methods for predicting electric steelmaking slags“
