Copper smelting slags represent a growing environmental and metallurgical challenge due to their large volumes and their content of unrecovered critical metals such as copper. Although conventional treatment relies mainly on acidic leaching, more sustainable hydrometallurgical routes are required to valorise these residues. In this study, an alternative copper extraction process is proposed based on alkaline glycine complexation and the use of ferromanganese crusts as an unconventional oxidising agent. Leaching tests were performed using two slag types with manganese nodules and waste water.
