Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technical job that crushes, sorts, and washes slag generated at steel mills or non-ferrous metal manufacturing plants and processes it into shapes suitable for reuse.
Description
Slag processing workers handle slag generated at steel mills or non-ferrous metal factories, using crushers, sorting machines, and washing equipment to separate metal particles from impurities. Processed slag is remelted back into metal resources or secondarily utilized as construction aggregates or ceramic raw materials. Work involves machine operation and inspection, safety management, simple component analysis, quality inspection, and process management that considers environmental regulations and production efficiency.
Future Outlook
With the increasing importance of resource recycling, demand remains stable. While automation and AI control technologies advance labor reduction, stricter environmental regulations require high-precision process management capabilities.
