Metallurgical Properties of Blast Furnace Extruded Briquettes (BREX) Based on Hematite Concentrate

Ann Based Prediction of Blast Furnace Parameters

Java-based Integrating Simulator for Blast Furnace

The method of integrating many partial simulators for a complicated system in the consideration of interaction is proposed. Java Native Interface is used to integrate the simulators programmed in different languages. Remote Method Invocation is used to integrate the simulators in different computer environment. By applying the method to the partial simulators on the blast furnace, java-based in...

Limestone Fillers Cement Based Composites: Effects of Blast Furnace Slags on Fresh and Hardened Properties

Limestone filler is a raw material that is already used in several applications like paints, bricks, bituminous mixtures...etc. Moreover, and particularly in Belgium, classical additions for concrete like fly ashes and granulated blast furnace slags are becoming rare; there is a need for new additions that could have a positive effect on the properties of the fresh and hardened cementitous comp...

Properties of Foamed Mortar Prepared with Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag

Foamed mortar with a density of 1300 kg/m³ was prepared. In the initial laboratory trials, water-to-cement (w/c) ratios ranging from 0.54 to 0.64 were tested to determine the optimal value for foamed mortar corresponding to the highest compressive strength without compromising its fresh state properties. With the obtained optimal w/c ratio of 0.56, two types of foamed mortar were prepared, name...

Properties of Cement Pastes Doped with Very High Amounts of Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag

In the current work, the properties of cement pastes doped with high amounts of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (HVS) were investigated. Portland cement (PC) was substituted with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (donated as slag) at very high amounts of 85%, 90%, 95% and 100%, by weight. PC paste without any content of slag was used as a reference. Some fresh and hardened properties su...
