The present invention relates to a method for removing chrome and or nickel from liquid slags, or slag mixtures, whereby the liquid slag is charged into a metal bath, in particular an Fe bath, and reduced, by contacting thereof with carbon, or a carbon supports, wherein the reduction is carried out in two stages and in the second reduction stage it is carried out under a higher reducing potential if compared with that of the first reduction stage and wherein the introduction of carbon into the metal bath is carried out in order to reduce the Cr and Ni oxide content of the slag, to a value between 0.8 percent by weight and 0.2 percent by weight. On reaching the predetermined Cr oxide content of the slag, reducing agents with greater reducing potential, for example, Al, Ca, Si, Fe-Si or Ca-Si are added to reduce the Cr and Ni oxide content to below 0.15 percent by weight, preferably below 0.08 percent by weight.
