Glass-ceramics with different CuO additions were prepared with Fe2O3 and Cr2O3 as composite nucleating agents, rare earthcontainingblast furnace slag (REBFS) as the main raw material. The existence state and stability of heavy metals Cu, Mn andCr in glass-ceramics were investigated. The results showed that Cr ions contributed to the generation of spinel phase, whileCu ions and Mn ions can enter the spinel crystal and exist stably, which indicated that there was a synergistic solidificationof Cu, Mn and Cr. The depolymerization effect of the copper ions contributed to the transformation of the crystal morphologyfrom dendrites to spherulites. Moreover, the increase in CuO contents promoted glass-ceramics from green to copper red. Based on the leaching experimental data analysis of heavy metals in glass-ceramics, the leaching concentration of heavy metalsCu, Cr and Mn were much lower than the standard leaching toxicity limit of hazardous waste (GB5085.3–2007, China). Theresults showed that the conversion of REBFS into environmentally friendly glass-ceramics can realize solid waste resourceutilization.
