steel slags are the by products of steel industries, which forms during reduction process of iron melting. the chemical composition of it changes depending to the melting procedure. its mineralogical composition also varies based on the cooling procedure. two different types of steel slag were used as absorbing bed for various concentrations of pb2+ ions in the form of lead chloride, and the co...

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness and resilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing Electric Arc and Basic Oxygen Furnace steel slags. After initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using X-ray Diffraction and Scanning Electric Microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. Each set was treated replac...

A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

Electric arc furnace (EAF) dust, together with a mill scale and coke were smelted in a laboratory electric arc furnace. These metallurgical wastes consist of a many different phases and elements, making the reaction process complex. Thermo-chemical analysis of the reactions in metal, slag, and gas phases was done, and used for modeling of the mixture composition and energy consumption required ...

In order to examine the effect of ageing on P removal capacity, the phosphorus (P) removal capacity of three types of slag, argon oxygen decarburisation slag (AOD), blast furnace slag (BFS) and electric arc furnace slag (EAF), was examined after 0, 10, 13 and 19 months in batch experiments. The results showed that ageing reduced P removal capacity, e.g. by 78.4% for 19-month-old AOD slag. For B...

Elementary and phase composition as well as micrography of the electric furnace slag were examined. The base of slag is made from phases containing Fe, Mn and Ca. Grains differ in size and shape, they cling together to form bigger or smaller agglomerates, depending on separated fractions. Relative distribution of identified phases in separated fractions is presented and the possibility of phase...

The phosphorus (P) removal of five combinations of dual filters consisting of blast furnace slag (BFS), argon oxygen decarburisation slag (AOD) and electric arc furnace slag (EAF) was evaluated in column experiments with domestic waste water. The columns were fed with waste water for 24 days. The column with only EAF had the best P removal performance (above 93% throughout the experiment). The ...
