Metallurgical slags as sorbents

Blast furnace slags as sorbents of phosphate from water solutions.

The paper is focused on the sorption of phosphorus from aqueous solutions by crystalline and amorphous blast furnace slags. Slag sorption kinetics were measured, adsorption tests were carried out and the effect of acidification on the sorption properties of slags was studied. The kinetic measurements confirmed that the sorption of phosphorus on crystalline as well as amorphous slags can be desc...

Optimised phosphorus removal technology for small-scale wastewater treatment by combining metallurgical slags

Different ways of combining argon oxygen decarburisation slag (AOD) or electric arc furnace slag (EAF) with blast furnace slag (BFS) for achieving better phosphorus (P) removal performance in small-scale wastewater systems (SSWSs) were examined. The three types of slag were combined in varying mass ratios and with different dosing procedures in batch experiments using synthetic solution and rea...
