The pyrometallurgical process is a solution to the problem of recycling nickel, chromium and iron-bearing wastes from stainless steel mills, plating and surface finishing industries. This process eliminates the need for stabilization and land disposal by reclaiming these metals for further use. In this paper, the steps of the pyrometallurgical process are examined in detail: feed preparation; reduction; smelting; and casting.
