Slags are basically artificial silicates of varying formula. The is no overall formula for slag because it is dependent on the ingredients used and just what is being smelted. For example slag from iron smelting is different than from copper smelting.

The most important aspects of slags are that they contain all the unwanted materials while allowing an economic separation of the valuable constituents of the ore. The chemistry of a given slag depends on the waste components of the ore plus the fluxes used to slag them off.
