Looking for sources of iron, zinc and manganese wastes for beneficial use

I am looking for iron, zinc, and manganese wastes (metal powder, oxides, phosphates or combinations) for beneficial use as a component in my manufacturing of solid granular odor and sulfur control products. Can anyone suggest where I might find sources of these materials?

Hi,Conrad. Sounds to me like anyone running a phosphatizing pretreatment line for painting or powder coating would generate waste that you could use. Good luck.

Regards,

How much powder do you need and what mesh size(s)?

Also how about stainless 302/304 powder?

Good afternoon:

Can you use spent blast media or baghouse dust from shot peening?
