Metal industry
The metal and steel industries have increased challenges due to the raw metals' long term price development. Today, the recycling of different metal fractions is more commonly used therefore decreasing the need for pure new metals in the steel industry. The eco-efficiency of the final product improves and therefore saving on natural resources.
By-products, such as blast furnace slag are used as the raw material for concrete products and it can also be used to replace natural limestone as a soil conditioning product.
Labtium's professionals have several years of experience with accurate methods for sample preparations and analyses of metal basis materials.
