Molecular dynamics simulation is applied to investigate the mechanism and variation of self-diffusion in calcium aluminosilicate slags. The self-diffusion coefficients are calculated for eleven slag compositions with varying Al2O3/SiO2 ratios at a fixed CaO content. In practice, the results of the study are relevant to the significant changes in transport phenomenon caused by the changes in che...

Understanding the state of the hydration water and the microstructure development in a cement paste is likely to be the key for the improvement of its ultimate strength and durability. In order to distinguish and characterize the reacted and unreacted water, the single-particle dynamics of water molecules in hydrated calcium silicates (C3S, C2S) and aluminates (C3A, C4AF) were studied by quasi-...

EPA has completed a substantial study to re-evaluate use of the presence of slag wool fibers as a potential marker for World Trade Center (WTC)-derived dust contamination. Slag wool is an insulating material (made from blast furnace slag) that was used in the construction of the WTC. Large quantities of slag wool were released into lower Manhattan by the collapse of the WTC. Samples of dust col...

This research was conducted for the purpose of studying the effect of CaF2 content in the composition of hot metal pretreatment flux, based on lime. It was followed in regards to the importance of fluorine amount decrease in hot metal pretreatment and steel making processes. For this purpose, lime based fluxes including 40, 30, 20 and 10 percent calcium fluoride were prepared and hot metal pret...

In the present study, viscosity of CaO–SiO2–FeO–Al2O3–MgO slag system was measured for recovery FeO in electric arc furnace (EAF) process using Al dross. Considering MgO-saturated operational condition EAF, composition at 1823 K with varying and Al2O3 concentrations. An increase decreasing temperature observed. The activation energy evaluated, change thermodynamically equilibrated phase conside...

Magnesium slag is a valuable resource when proper disposal and utilization are adopted. The main pollution of magnesium caused dust fluorine pollution. Formation mechanism fine investicated. Alike steel slag, phase transition dicalcium silicate in around 500 °C brings volume expansion, which causes the disintegration powdering slag. Chamical stabilization experiments were carried out. effects p...

Introduction. Marginal seal or adequate marginal adaptation of material along the cavity walls should be able to prevent leakage tissue fluid and consequently bacterial microleakage, terefore, it is considered as significant factor for long term success endodontic treatment. The aim this work was test microleakage newly synthesized nanostructured biomaterials based on calcium aluminate, silicat...

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy is a useful technique for characterization of chemical species of phosphorus in complex environmental samples. To develop and evaluate bed filters as sustainable on-site wastewater treatment solutions, our objective in this study was to determine the chemical forms of accumulated phosphorus in a selection of promising filter materials: F...
