Recycling technology research in the copper smelting industry is necessary because the recovery of valuable metals from generated waste can offset the cost of raw materials. The cost of imported raw materials, can exert a significant impact on profitability. In order to perform this research review of previous studies about the base characteristics of the target waste was needed. In this study, copper slag and copper alloy smelting slag generated in the process, along with slag, ash, and sludge, were analyzed for particle size, distribution of the waste, physical characteristics, chemical composition, and inclusion of heavy metals. Copper slag and copper alloy particle separation results were able to remove most of the metal pieces that were at least 1 mm in size. In this waste, zinc, copper-containing metal were less than 80%. toxic substances, such as cadmium, arsenic and mercury, were removed by utilizing a hydrometallurgical process. The data suggests that this industry should be able to take advantage of new technologies the recover valuable metals from copper smelting waste.
