Avertana has partnered with Tranvic Group to utilize steel slag for producing titanium dioxide pigment, addressing waste management challenges while promoting sustainability in the steel industry.

Information on the Target

Avertana is an innovative company specializing in transforming steel industry waste, particularly slag, into valuable products. The proprietary technology developed by Avertana efficiently converts titanium-bearing slag into high-quality titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment and other essential raw materials. This environmentally friendly process eliminates waste and drastically reduces both manufacturing costs and environmental impacts, achieving a carbon footprint that is 60-70% smaller than traditional TiO₂ production methods.

Steel slag, a by-product of steel manufacturing, contains valuable metals such as aluminum, magnesium, manganese, and titanium. Unfortunately, while some of this slag is utilized in low-value applications like cement, much of it remains stockpiled or landfilled, squandering its potential as a resource. Avertana’s approach capitalizes on this underused material, maximizing value and promoting sustainability.

Industry Overview in China

China is the world’s largest producer of steel, generating a considerable amount of slag each year—hundreds of millions of tons. As the steel industry continues to expand, the management of industrial wa
