The production of strontium has increased significantly in the world – by 2.4 times. This metal is used in various industries, including metallurgy (due to its special properties in alloys), the production of magnetic materials, components for superconductors, and as a chemical current source for batteries. The main countries producing strontium are Iran🇮🇷 and Spain🇪🇸.
You can read about the prospects of extracting strontium from ash and slag dumps from the article in the journal "Mining Science and Technology" (Russia):

🔥 Ash and slag dumps – worthless waste or hidden treasure?
Did you know that ash and slag dumps may contain hundreds of tons of valuable metals? Researchers have proven: ash processing is not just about ecology—it’s a profitable business!
What was found in the dump?
✔️ Titanium (785 t) – for aerospace industry
✔️ Strontium (183 t) – for electronics and medicine
✔️ Iron (4,867 t) – for metallurgy
Why does it matter?
🌱 Ecology: Processing just 10% of the dumps reduces environmental harm by 20%.
💰 Economics: The project pays for itself in 4 years.
How does it work?
• Gravity separation – sorting ash into fractions
• Magnetic separation – extracting metals
• Concentrate sales – ready-to-use industrial product
What’s next?
The technology is set to be implemented soon. Perhaps soon, power plant ash will be valued as highly as ore deposits!
For more information, see the article:
