I-slag ye-Copper ininzi imnyama okanye i-brown, umphezulu we-metallic luster, isakhiwo sangaphakathi sisisiseko se-vitreous, isakhiwo sixinene, sinzima kwaye sinobunzima, kwaye ukubunjwa kweekhemikhali kuyinkimbinkimbi. Ukusuka kumxholo wobhedu wezinye kuluhlu lwe-copper ore (Cu <1%), ezinye kwi-copper ore ephakathi (Cu1 ~ 2%) uluhlu, ezinye kuluhlu lwe-copper-rich (Cu> 2%), i-FeSi02, i-CaO , Umxholo we-AL203 uphezulu, ubala ngaphezu kwe-60% ye-slag, ubuninzi be-mineral composition of iron peridotite, elandelwa yi-magnetite, kukho inani elincinci leemithanjeni eziqulunqwe ngumzimba we-vitreous.
U-Xiye uye waphuhlisa kwaye wafumana itekhnoloji yonyango lwe-copper tailing slag ngendlela ye-electrothermal, ekhusela okusingqongileyo, iphinda isebenzise inkunkuma eqinileyo kwaye ijike inkunkuma ibe bubutyebi.
Itekhnoloji yenkqubo ithatha iziko elikhethekileyo lombane eliphuhliswe nguXiye ngokuzimeleyo, kwaye lamkele inkqubo yokutshaja ekhethekileyo, ukuqonda ngempumelelo itekhnoloji yokunyanga i-slag yomsila wobhedu kwiziko lombane lokuqala eTshayina.
