dross

The word dross refers to material in metal that people do not want, so the refiner removes the impurities by melting the metal and taking the dross out of the melted metal. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of process, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “the unwanted material”
