Alkali-activated cement (AAC) is either clinker-less or free, and it is also environmentally friendly due to its low carbon footprint and wide range sources. Industrial wastes, like steel slag and blastfurnace slag, usually have latent hydraulic reactivity, and can be used as precursors of AAC. Both clinkerless and clinker-free AAC were prepared …
The steel slag decreased the early hydration rate of cement; however, it could promote cement hydration in late ages. Liao et al. [87] observed that the hydration products of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement - steel slag pastes, ettringite was the main crystalline hydration product, and at 28 days, ettringite peaks remained strong in all …
The ITZ between the slag and the cement matrix provide a strong and seamless monolithic effect. • Slag after water treatment provides significantly higher strength than that of the normal aggregates. • Recycling of waste slag into concrete after water treatment contributes towards circular economy.
According to the three different furnaces in the steelmaking process, steel slag can be categorized into basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag, electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, and ladle furnace (LF) slag (Yildirim and Prezzi, 2011).Fig. 1 shows different steel making processes and the production of steel slags. As BOF and EAF have similar raw …
Many restrictions exist, however, on the utilization of steel slag. When steel slag is used internally, in steel plants, the most obvious problem is that of the enrichment of P and S (Drissen et al., 2009).The Bhilai Steel Plant in India was shut down because of its high S and P content (Das et al., 2007).The amounts of free lime and free MgO are …

Laboratory mixtures containing cement, steel slag, and in-place recycled pavement were evaluated. Test specimens were prepared with an emerging tool referred to as the PM device. Raw materials were taken from an in-place recycling project in Mississippi and blended with varying cement and steel slag dosages. Use of 15 to 30% …
CarbiCrete developed the technology to use the processed steel slag to make the carbon-negative concrete blocks. For every ton of concrete produced, 150 kilograms of CO2 are abated or removed. According to Boulay, Lafarge will be responsible for turning the steel slag into material that is a key component in CarbiCrete's …
The main challenge of the steel industry for the next decade is the steel production transformation process, starting in Europe. The CO 2 intensive blast furnace/basic oxygen furnace (BOF) route will be substituted by a combination of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), based on natural gas, later on "green" hydrogen, with an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) or a …
As the steel melts, the flux forms a slag that floats on the liquid steel to protect it from oxygen in the air. After the recycled steel is tapped off, the liquid slag is cooled rapidly in air, and ground up into a powder that is virtually identical to the clinker that is the basis of new Portland cement. The researchers are now testing its ...
Recently, the spinning disk atomizer has been successfully applied to recover the high quality waste heat carried by molten slag, which is known as the dry slag granulation (DSG) method [4, 5 ...
Instant-chilled Steel Slag Aggregate in Concrete-Strength Related Properties[J]. Cement and Concrete Research, 1991, 21(6):1 083–1 091. ... Progress on Turning Steel Slag into Energy in Japan [J]. Foreign Science and Technology, 1996, (12):36–37. (in Chinese) C J Shi. Steel Slag—Its Production, Processing, …
Abstract. Because of the unique physical and chemical characteristics of steel slag, steel slag aggregate (SSA) has been recycled into Portland cement concrete as …
Abstract. In this review, steel slag usage in the cement and concrete industry and its environmental effects were examined. Also, its physical and chemical …
When steel slag is used as fine aggregate, the compressive strength of the steel slag concrete subjected to first increases and then decreases with increase in the steel slag sand content. To obtain better performance for the steel slag concrete, the suggested optimum content of steel slag sand as fine aggregate is 50%. Within.
The incorporation of air-quenching steel slag of 0.315–5 mm (in which the content of Fe 1-σ O is over 30%) into concrete to fabricate mechanically sensitive concrete was investigated by Li et al. in 2005 [21]; subsequently, Jia performed a systematic study of this concrete (as shown in Figure 2.14) [23,50].
In turn, this promises zero-emissions steel and zero-emission cement, and an opportunity to close the loop on supply chains. ... and create a prototype electric arc furnace slag cooling system to transform steel slag into cement clinker. Chris McDonald, CEO of the MPI, said: "We are delighted to be leading a project that has the potential to ...
Section snippets Generation processes. In China, BOF slag accounts for about 70% of the annual steel slag production (Cheng and Yang, 2010). In the BOF process (Fig. 1), minor steel scrap and a large amount of molten iron from ironmaking as well as fluxes (lime/dolomite) are added into the furnace, and a 99% pure oxygen flow is …
Cement is replaced by slag from different steel mills, both blast furnace and ladle furnace slag. The percentages of slag substitution by cement are 30%, 40% and 50% by weight. Mechanical, physical and environmental properties have been evaluated. Compressive and flexural strength have been analysed as the main mechanical properties.
