Electric Arc Furnace Slag and Blast Furnace Dust, Use for the Manufacture of Asphalt Concrete for Roads

This paper analyzes how feasible it is to use electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregate, and blast furnace dust as fine aggregate in the manufacture of hot asphalt concrete for roads. Three mixtures were designed using the Ramcodes methodology, the M1 mixture of control with conventional materials, the M2 mixture replacing 50% and the M3 mixture replacing 100% of the conventional aggregates...

Performance Analysis of a Blast Furnace at Bhilai Steel Plant

The present paper reports a statistical analysis of the performance of the blast furnace number X at the Bhilai Steel Plant over a period of sixteen years with the special reference to the quality and consumption of sinter . The variation in basicity and consumption of sinter, for the blast furnace data considered , is wide. The range of data covers high level to almost nil amount of raw limest...

Making LCA More Efficient

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has gained attention because it enables quantitative evaluation of the burden a product places on the environment. However, acceptance of LCA has proceeded slowly because a large amount of work is required to gather the environmental burden data used in the evaluation. To shorten this work time, we utilize readily-accessible databases both internal and external to th...

Making Abduction More Efficient

Introduct ion The TACITUS system uses a cost-based abduction scheme for finding and choosing among possible interpretations for natural language texts. Ordinary Prologstyle, backchaining deduction is augmented with the capability of making assumptions and of factoring two goal literals that are unifiable (see Hobbs et al., 1988). Deduction is combinatorially explosive, and since the abduction s...
