In: Data from Wang, G., Thompson, R., & Wang, Y. 0000078257 00000 n 0000025660 00000 n Steelmaking slag is an integral part of the steelmaking process. Worldwide, more than 500 million tons of blast furnace slag are produced every year [2]. ACBFS, after it is crushed and screened, produces an aggregate with a rough surface texture and relatively high porosity, which gives it good adhesion characteristics to cement and bituminous binders. 0000004233 00000 n endstream endobj 1032 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/Index[32 904]/Length 49/Size 936/Type/XRef/W[1 1 1]>>stream 0000033550 00000 n In: The 5th European slag conference, September 19–21, 2007, Luxembourg.

In contrast to blast furnace slag, basic oxygen furnace slag (BOS) and electric arc furnace (EAF) slag (steel slags) are generated in an oxidizing process and therefore have iron contents that are significantly higher. The fragmented air-cooled nickel slag can be crushed and screened for a variety of construction aggregate purposes, as engineered fill, granular base and subbase, and HMA coarse and fine aggregate.

The grindability index of steelmaking slag is 0.7, in contrast with the value of 0.96 and 1.0 for blast furnace slag and standard sand respectively. (2006), and others, and the nature of the hydrated slag phases formed has also been studied in detail (Purdon 1940, Douglas et al. Properties of BF slag. Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2(2208), 1–8. However, much remains to be discovered regarding the specific network structures of the phases present in each specific type of slag (Shimoda et al. Ground granulated blast furnace slag cement (GGBFS) is a fine glassy granules which contain cementatious properties. 9-9����BNKN!�#��ӑS���)�t�r:� ��1a�9sp�A���O�s�)~?����9�?�����S�~��`� �=Յ��BuOu����P�S]��.T�T�{�+��tW��ɢt��]����*��tW鮧�Jw=�U��b0R�F�Q�H1 Ground granulated blast furnace slag consists of silicates and aluminates of calcium and other bases. 0000062354 00000 n The effect of mix aggregates containing SCR on compressive strength and splitting … Hot mix asphalt that contains nickel slag aggregate— Laboratory evaluation of use in highway construction. 0000077748 00000 n This property also allows its application in soil stabilization and in mortar for masonry. 0000006440 00000 n It is a by-product from the blast furnace which is used to make iron. 0000086431 00000 n +�7�MS�&�ٝ�m�;n�.�O���fu�d�Tu��i�,�E���������ٟ��̤���羻��Eu���$��U����y��o_M�����x�Mo&f>7U�?��h��h���ۦ����m����9�d6^s3[�y����k�}�����n8>���|�Rh ���M�)d�%t��h)�yh ��ճw(��������@�v��V��>� a�0�9�l- �~?��%��ӒS�i�)��rZr 0000019131 00000 n 0000045663 00000 n Basic slag is a co-product of steelmaking, and is typically produced either through the blast furnace- oxygen converterroute or the electric arc furnace- ladle furnace route. 2004). There can, however, be considerable variability in the physical properties of blast furnace slag, depending on the iron production process. 0000033620 00000 n (i) blast-furnace slag (ironmaking slag), (ii) steel-furnace slag, (a) basic-oxygen-furnace (BOF) slag, (b) electric-arc-furnace (EAF) slag, (c) ladle slag. 0000091506 00000 n 0000061874 00000 n 1992, Richardson et al.

The conditions of cooling control both the growth of mineral crystals and the quantity and size of gas bubbles that can escape before being trapped by solidification 0000017250 00000 n Morphology characteristics of mix aggregates with crushed air-cooled blast furnace slag (SCR) and crushed limestone (LCR) with 5–20 mm and 20–40 mm gradation were represented by numerical parameters including angularity number (AN) and index of aggregate particle shape and texture (IAPST). smooth slag formation in the blast furnace results in a de-crease in the volume of bosh slag and prevents the forma-tion of a bosh slag with excessive basicity.1–3)At normal blast furnace operation, the tuyere slag, formed by the ash content in fuels combusted in front … 0000016025 00000 n Ground granulated blast furnace slag is an eco-friendly material with regard to its production process and usage. Air-Cooled Blast Furnace Slag Crushed ACBFS is angular, roughly cubical, and has textures ranging from rough, vesicular (porous) surfaces to glassy (smooth) surfaces with conchoidal fractures. Constant parameters: concentration of sodium hydroxide: −15 M, curing temperature: − 70∘C for 24 h, fine aggregates to total aggregates ratio: − 0.35, fly ash: − 350 kg/m 3. The unbound granular consists of two layers of EAF and ladle slag mixtures. 1.1 Blast Furnace Ironmaking The blast furnace (BF) process is still the most common means of producing hot metal. 0000013819 00000 n Blast furnace slag has latent hydraulic properties that permit its most common application as a cement additive and in concrete structures. Suction cups were used to collect the seepage water in the middle and the edge zone of both sections with either EAF slag and natural aggregate in the road base as well as 5 m (16.4 ft.) to the side of the test road. 0000080783 00000 n Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a non-metallic industrial by-product, which is produced in blast furnaces by the melting of the iron ore, producing molten pig iron [1]. It is produced during the separation of the liquid steel from impurities in steelmaking furnace and is a non-metallic by-product of steelmaking process. 0000062424 00000 n In the context of geopolymer synthesis from slag glasses, the key glass network forming cations are Al3+ and Si4+; the divalent Ca2+ and Mg2+ act as network modifiers along with any alkalis present.
