Several types of wastes are produced during the manufacture of stainless steel (slags, refractory bricks, and dust). Most of these wastes are not recycled but stored in security deposits or landfills depending on their environmental danger. This article reports the study of the physicochemical and mineralogical properties of stainless steel wastes. Their possible uses are also discussed. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 2010
