This study aims to investigate the activating effect of Na2CO3 and NaOH on the workability and mechanic strength of slag-based alkali activated materials with different alkali contents and water to binder ratios. The heat release during the reaction process of slag activated with sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide were monitored respectively to analyze the hydration process. Meanwhile, the w...

Microwave technique were used to investigate the early hydration of slag cement with different slag percentages, different activators and different amount of activator. It is found that higher slag cement causes a higher dielectric constant E and a shorter induction period. But higher slag cement samples have very different electrical conductivity (3 compared with that of pure cement, their o c...

Saint-Petersburg State Polytechnic University, SaintPetersburg, Russia, Karaganda State Technical University, Karaganda, Kazakhstan There is considered the power operating mode of a high-power arc steelmaking furnaces (ASMF) in the period of the flat bath. It is revealed that electric energy is mainly spent for ...

One purpose of this article is to draw attention to the seminal work of J. Mealy in 1989 on calibrations in semi-riemannian geometry where split SLAG geometry was first introduced. The natural setting is provided by doing geometry with the complex numbers C replaced by the double numbers D, where i with i = −1 is replaced by τ with τ = 1. A rather surprising amount of complex geometry carries o...

Chromium pollution has been historically widespread throughout the world. Most available remediation technologies often require energy consumption. This study is aimed to develop electrochemical remediation for Cr(VI) in chromium-slag leakage with self-generated electricity. Dynamic leaching experiments of chromium-slag samples were conducted to survey the release and leaching behavior of Cr(VI...

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...

For beneficiation of converter slag, the role of surface phenomena on slag composition was studied. This work includes some experimental data, which were measured for basic oxygen steel (BOS) slag in Isfahan Steel Plant. All data were collected on site in the plant. The results support the idea that surface activity plays a major role in converter slag formation. It was also a new finding t...

The use of steel-making slag as catalysts for microwave-assisted dry reforming of CH4 was studied. Carbon materials (an activated carbon and a metallurgical coke), mixtures of carbon materials + Fe-rich slag and mixtures of carbon materials + Ni/Al2O3 were tested as catalysts. Mixtures of slag with carbons gave rise to higher and steadier conversions than those achieved over carbon materials. T...

The present investigation revealed the effect of using silica fume and copper slag as a partial replacement of cement and fine aggregate, respectively on the mechanical properties of the concrete. Due to the depletion of natural sand resource worldwide with the increment of industrial waste, simultaneously, partial replacements of fine aggregate with copper slag have been attempted. Therefore, ...
