Industrial Wastes: An Unexplored

Source Of Valuable Minerals






U.S. industries generate millions of tons of
waste each year. These wastes typically take
the form of slag, scale, sludge, slime, slurry,
dust, and dross. And they also contain large
amounts of minerals.

Unfortunately, recovering minerals from in-
dustrial wastes has received scant attention by
the Government. Even though the identifi-
cation, evaluation, and promotion of resource
recovery programs for all types of wastes are
required by the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976, little action has taken
place for industrial wastes.

The Congress should increase its oversight to
make sure that legislated resource-recovery
objectives are pursued for industrial wastes.
