Utilization of ironmaking and steelmaking slags

چکیده
smelting of hammerable iron and its treatment in antiquity and Medieval produced also by-product: slag. Because of small yields of iron the process produced only small amounts of slag that did not attract attention of smelters concerning its possible use. the use of slag pieces was only accidental. a lot of slag pieces and blocks from slag pit shaft furnaces were used as a material for mound building around a church in central denmark. the author of this paper found pieces of smithy slag in walls of houses in medieval town Cencelle in italy [1]. in some cases rich sources of iron smelting slags were used by modern smelters. thick layers of iron-rich smelting slags, by-products of etruscan iron smelting in Populonia, were extensively used as an iron source by 2nd world war italian metallurgy. the introduction of charcoal blast furnaces in the 16th century in west europe is also a starting point in regular utilization of metallurgical slags, mainly blast furnace slags. though the first use of blast furnace slag was in road construction, within a short time it acquired the name “material for many ways of utilization”. in the 20th century many institutions and societies appeared with the main aim to support the use of full production of both ironmaking and steelmaking slags. in present the utilization of the slags is the measure of level attained by steel metallurgy in the country or region. in this paper some remarks on ways of ironmaking and steelmaking slags utilization are presented. Paragraphs related to steelmaking slags are restricted to slags from oxygen converter refining, from electric arc furnace processes and from ladle furnace processes. the slags from other steelmaking processes, from tundish of continuous caster and from pig iron treatment processes are not included in this paper.

Production and Crystallization Behavior of an Iron Rich Glass–Ceramic Prepared by Ironmaking and Steelmaking Wastes
Using wastes as starting raw materials is a common method to reduce the production costs and the environmental pollution problems arising from such wastes. In this study the production and crystallization behavior of an iron rich glass prepared by iron and steel making wastes has been investigated. The raw materials used, were the blast furnace slag, the blast furnace dust, converter slag and s...
متن کاملRoles of Mineralogical Phases in Aqueous Carbonation of Steelmaking Slag
Mineralogical phases of steelmaking slags have significant influences on the carbonation of the slags. In this paper, the effects of temperature and reaction time on the conversion of calcium-related phases and the carbonation degree of a slag sample were studied. The experimental conditions were a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 mL/g, a carbon dioxide flow rate of 1 L/min and a slag particle size ...
متن کاملPossible Uses of Steelmaking Slag in Agriculture: An Overview
Over the past decades, the steel production has increased and, consequently, the higher volumes of by-products and residues generated have driven to the reuse of these materials in an increasingly efficient way. In recent years new technologies have been expanded, and some of them are still under developing, in order to improve the recovery rates of slags. On this subject material separation te...
متن کاملMicrostructural Characterisation of Chromium Slags
J. Burja, F. Tehovnik, F. Vode, B. Arh, Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana, Slovenia In this chromium slags that form during melting of chromium alloyed steels are examined. During melting and oxidation of these steel grades a considerable amount of chromium is lost, and gained back with slag reduction. Laboratory experiments were performed to study the mechanism of chromium oxide re...
