The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system for control the harmonics filters, the reactive power compensation installation and the electrodes position, in order to obtain a high val...

The present paper investigated the process of the slag wool fabrication using high temperature blast furnace (BF) slag modified by coal ash (CA). The liquidus temperature and viscosity of the slag system with different mass ratios of BF slag and CA were measured through an inner cylinder rotation method. The approximate mass ratio used to fabricate the slag wool was therefore determined and sla...

In recent years many different ways have been investigated by steel producers to increase ductility, impact strength and formability of steels. More important ways are steels with very low amounts of inclusion, small size inclusions and modified inclusions. In this study, experiments have been performed on the API-X42 steel produced by the electric arc furnace in Mobarekeh Steel Co. After the p...

Prevention and mitigation of acid rock drainage from mining are decisive for limiting environmental impact. Five by-products and industrial remnants (lime kiln dust, blast furnace slag, granulated blast furnace slag, cement kiln dust and fly ash) were investigated for their suitability to prevent acidity and metal(loid)s during leaching from highly sulfidic (50wt%, sulfide) waste rock in small ...

The high performance concrete is a highly complex material that consists of cement, water, blast furnace slag, super-plasticizer, coarse and fine aggregate. All of the materials play a certain role in the compressive strength of concrete. Combined with the information about age, the compressive strength of concrete is determined by eight attributes: 1. Cement (kg/m!) 2. Fly ash (kg/m!) 3. Blast...

This paper describes a review of the potential use of High Strength Incorporating Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete used in construction industry to improve the structural strength and reduce steel reinforcements requirements. Blast furnace slag (GGBS) has been used as a supplementary material along with the cement. It helps in increasing the durability an...

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...
