Abstract. In addressing the critical issue of industrial wastewater contamination, this study explores the development of a ferrous solution derived from recycled steel slag as an innovative treatment method. Utilizing 1M, 3M, 5M and 7M iron sulphate treated with tobacco wastewater as a coagulant, the research highlights the efficiency and practicality of this approach.A comprehensive literature review follows, detailing current wastewater treatment methods, the role of iron salts, and the benefits of using recycled steel slag.Methodological approaches include magnetic separation, high-energy ball milling, and sintering for preparing and characterizing the ferrous solution. Subsequent chapters present a thorough analysis of raw and processed steel slag, including SEM, XRD, XRF analyses.The ferrous solution's performance is evaluated through ICP-OES, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and efficiency tests, revealing significant improvements in contaminant removal. The findings demonstrate the potential of using steel slag-derived ferrous solutions in industrial applications, contributing to sustainable waste management practices.
