Dataset for "Resource potential of Cu-Ni-Co metallurgical slag: Quantitative mineralogy and critical metals extraction using different acids"

This is a companion dataset to the paper by Lichovník et al., submitted to Hydrometallurgy. This research was supported by the Johannes Amos Comenius Programme (OP JAC), project No. CZ.02.01.01/00/22_008/0004605, Natural and anthropogenic georisks.

This license allows others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the dataset for any purpose, even commercially, as long as they give appropriate credit to the original creator(s). The dataset contains the following parts: Sheet 1 - Smelter area, sample localization Sheet 2 - Analysis of reference materials Sheet 3 - Elemental composition of SP11 and SP3 samples Sheet 4 - Slag granulometry Sheet 5 - X-ray diffraction analysis of the original slag and leaching residues Sheet 6 - Electron probe microanalysis Sheet 7 - Image analysis - calculations Sheet 8 - Laser ablation ICP-MS Sheet 9 - Automated mineralogy (autoSEM) Sheet 10 - Extraction experiments - elemental concentrations in leachates Sheet 11 - Extraction experiments - extraction efficiencies Sheet 12 - Leachate pH and pe and saturation indices (PHREEQC) Sheet 13 - Elemental composition of leaching residues (pXRF)
