Large amounts of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag (TBFS), diamond wire saw Si powder (DWSSP), and Al alloy scrap (AAS) are generated annually. Although these are industrial waste, they contain valuable Ti, Si, and Al resources. In this work, a novel process is developed for the simultaneous recycling of Ti, Si, and Al from these three wastes to prepare TiSi 2 and Al-Si alloys. TBFS, DWSSP, and CaO (flux) were mixed to form a mixed Ti-Si-slag, which was combined with AAS and underwent reduction smelting at 1823 K to prepare Si-Ti-Al alloys. Subsequently, TiSi 2 (98.7%) and low-Fe Al-Si (0.64 wt% Fe) alloys were prepared sequentially by separating the molten Si-Ti-Al melt via electromagnetic directional crystallization with a pull-down rate of 3 µm/s. The impurities in the Si-Ti-Al alloy were removed during the separation process by segregation at the boundary of the solid-liquid phase and volatilization. Furthermore, the entire process produces no waste acid or waste gas. Therefore, this work has introduced an efficient and environmentally friendly method for the value-added recycling of Ti, Si, and Al resources from accumulated TBFS, DWSSP, and AAS. [Display omitted] • A novel approach was proposed to simultaneously recycle three wastes. • Extracting Ti from Ti-bearing blast furnace slag while removing O from diamond wire saw Si powder. • Fe was removed from the Al alloy scrap while the Al alloy scrap was also recycled as an Al-Si alloy. • The entire process produces no waste acid or waste gas.
