In this study, activator, metakaolin, and silica fume were used as a compound activator to improve the activity of steel slag powder. The influence powder, on resulting strength cement mortar was investigated by orthogonal experiments. For four weight fractions powder (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%), experimental results indicate that compressive can reach up more than 85% control group while flexural 90%...

In this paper, the effect of MgO, BaO, Na 2 O and SrO addition to a pre-melted CaO-Al2O3 -Si 2 O synthetic slag on sulfur removal from plain carbon steel was studied under the same experimental conditions. The slags were pre-melted at 1400°C in an electric resistant furnace and desulfurization experiments were carried out in a high frequency induction furnace. The results showed that ...

As computer power increases, computational models are able to contribute more to the understanding and design of complex processes such as the continuous casting of steel. Fluid flow models can now include phenomena such as transient behavior during steady casting, including particle transport, capture and removal. Heat flow models can include interfacial slag layer heat, mass and momentum bala...

Surface smoothness is one of the properties determining the performance of stents. Therefore, surface polishing shows its importance in the exploitation and production of stents. The present study explores electrochemical polishing of 316L stainless steel slotted tube coronary stents produced by laser cutting. Acid pickling was also studied as a pre-treatment of electrochemical polishing of the...

Inorganic arsenic removal from water using low-cost adsorbents is presented in this paper. Selective removal of As(III) and As(V) from water was performed with natural materials (zeolite, bentonite, sepiolite, pyrolusite and limonite) and industrial by-products (waste filter sand as a water treatment residual and blast furnace slag from steel production); all inexpensive and locally available. ...

this study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness andresilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing electric arc and basic oxygen furnacesteel slags. after initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using x-ray diffraction andscanning electric microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set wastreated replacing ...

Vanadium extraction methods were developed for iron-vanadium-phosphorus (FeV-P) melts derived from processing of V-bearing titanomagnetites and steel slags. Studies on phase relationships of V slags were carried out to provide important understanding of the extraction processes. Phase relationship in vanadiferous slag was investigated experimentally at 1573K, 1673K and 1773K, for the compositio...

in this study, the blast furnace slag was used as absorbing bed and then, its ionic adsorption was studied. for this reason, various experimental parameters such as ph, contact time and the primary ion concentration were investigated. the remaining concentrations of ions such as; mn2+ and fe2+ in water were measured by atomic adsorption spectroscopy. the chemical and phase composition of slag, ...
