Guidance on the Use of Steel Slag Aggregate Edition 2010/1 – effective from 15 February 2010 Steel slag Steel slag is produced as an inevitable by-product of producing steel. Fluxes (such as lime) are added in the steel making process to remove unwanted components from the steel. It is these

BASIC OXYGEN PROCESS In the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF), the hot liquid metal from the blast furnace, scrap and fluxes, which contain lime

Steel slag is produced during the steel making process where, after air cooling, a dense rock material is processed and sized into specific products suitable for diverse applications. These include construction aggregates, rail ballast, agricultural soil amendment, in the manufacture of Ordinary Portland Cement and as an environmental

Croatian EAF black steel slag, generated from carbon steel production process in CMC Sisak d.o.o., is the most interesting from the asphalt technology point of view, but in order to assess the suitability and reusing potential of EAFS in asphalt mixture production, it is necessary to know its chemical, radiochemical, physical

Steel Slag Aggregate. Steel slag is a by-product formed during the steel manufacturing process. It is a non-metallic ceramic material formed from the reaction of flux such as calcium oxide with the inorganic non-metallic components present in the steel scrap. The use of steel slag reduces the need of natural rock as constructional material

Jan 20, 2016 Production of SS depends on the composition of the steel and on the steel production process. The slag produced in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) processes amounts to approximately 120–150 kg per ton of steel produced (ASA 2002). These slags contain recoverable and reusable materials

Due to the low hydration activity and poor volume stability, extensive steel slag utilization is restricted. In this paper, the hydration process and microstructure of alkali-activated materials with steel slag as a cementitious material and fine aggregate were studied. The phase composition and mic

Nov 09, 2017 Steel slag is a sustainable aggregate for asphalt road production. (Source: National Slag Association ) According to the Washington State Department of Transportation’s Use of Steel Slag Aggregate in Pavements report in 2015, a high iron oxide content in steel slag aggregates creates pavement that is both hard and dense, making it a superior

Jul 01, 2011 Slag aggregate was obtained from the usual aggregate production of steel slag from the steel-making company Acroni. This production consists of the aging of slag for two weeks with water quenching, and then slow cooling down of the slag for a further 4 weeks, during which the CaO and MgO are transformed into stable forms.The slag then goes into production which consists of primary

slag show worse performance in comparison with concrete mixtures containing limestone aggregate. Keywords: Steel Slag, Limestone, Concrete, Aggregate Two common methods are used in steel production as basic oxygen furnace and electric arc furnace1. Electric arc

dissolution of refractories. Steel slag, a by-product of. steelmaking, is produced during the separation of the molten. steel from impurities in steel-making furnaces and occurs as. a molten

Oct 27, 2011 Slags from the Iron and Steel Industry. Background With world steel production now well over a billion tonnes per year, the slag that arises from some of the processes involved is a major resource. Traditionally it has been used mainly as an aggregate but for some types there are other applications, such as a raw material for cement or as a fertiliser

Mar 08, 2016 The steel slag produced during the primary stage of steel production is referred to as furnace slag or tap slag. This is the major source of steel slag aggregate. After being tapped from the furnace, the molten steel is transferred in a ladle for further refining to remove additional impurities still contained within the steel

In the primary process, crude steel is produced in two ways. In the first method, the iron is produced from ore in the BF, thus, generating BF slag (BFS). BBOF slag (BOFS) is produced in the steelmaking process by using the molten iron coming from the BF. In the second method, slags are generated in the scrap-based steel industry

Apr 04, 2012 Steelmaking slag, or steel slag, is a by-product from the production of steel during the conversion of hot metal to crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace, or during the melting of scrap in an EAF. From: Sustainable and Nonconventional Construction Materials using Inorganic Bonded Fiber Composites, 2017. Related terms: Carbon Sequestration

Process that generates iron and steel slag. Iron and steel slag can be broadly classified into blast furnace slag that is generated when iron ore is melted and reduced in a blast furnace, and steelmaking slag that is generated during the steelmaking processes used to modify the components of iron. Blast furnace slag is a combination of silica and other non-ferrous components of iron ore, ash from coke

Compared with the blast furnace slag, steel slag has the expansibility due to the reaction with water and free CaO. Therefore it is specified in Standard Specification for Concrete in Korea that steel slag aggregate must not be used in concrete. So it is unusual to use steel slag aggregate in concrete. In this study steel slag aggregate processed by several aging process was comparatively satisfied

Electric arc furnace steel slag (EAFS) is a by-product from the steel making process, the majority of which ends up in deposits and thus gradually becomes an environmental problem, so the availability of ways to handle slag is getting more important. On the other hand, most industrialized countries; there is great demand for

In concrete, processed steel and blast furnace slag provide a sustainable alternative to primary aggregates in the production of lightweight or dense ready-mixed concrete. Blast furnace slag can also be used to make Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) which is used as a cement replacement in concrete

The system is designed to move at a speed of 1 revolution/3 min and produce slag with a solidified thickness of 20–30mm at a slag flow rate of approximately 2t/min. The slag that flows onto the molds solidifies in a plate-like shape after cooling for 2min, and is
