C. X. Li, H. Li, H. Lu, W. W. Mao: State key laboratory of advanced Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China This work examined phosphorus enrichment in different micro areas of the earlier slag and the final slag in converter double-slag technology. The results show that: phosphorus has high enrichment in the micro-area the basictity of which is between 2 to 2,5; the pho...

Pyro-metallurgy of copper production is characterized by the output slag, which regarded as a kind solid waste. Moreover, this slag identified hazardous because it contains impurities, like Pb, As, and Cu. Obtaining dump slags in autogenous processes does not always meet requirements effective technologies, most often contain more than 1.0% need to be depleted. This work presented brief analysi...

Tile drained land with phosphorus (P)-rich topsoil is prone to P loss, which can impair surface water quality via eutrophication. We used by-products from steel and energy industries to mitigate P loss from tile drains. For each by-product, P sorption maximum (P(max)) and strength (k) were determined, while a fluvarium trial assessed P uptake with flow rate. Although two ash materials (fly ash ...

It is well documented that slag-based silicon fertilizers have beneficial effects on the growth and disease resistance of rice. However, their effects vary greatly with sources of slag and are closely related to availability of silicon (Si) in these materials. To date, few researches have been done to compare the differences in plant performance and disease resistance between different slag-bas...

PURPOSE A former wood exploitation revealing high Cu and As concentration of the soils served as a case study for assisted phytoextraction. METHOD P-spiked Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag was used as a soil additive to improve physico-chemical soil properties and in situ stabilize Cu and other trace metals in a sandy Cu-contaminated soil (630 mg kg⁻¹ soil). The LD slag was incorporated into the conta...

Laboratory scale studies have repeatedly reported high P-retention in slag, a by-product of the steel manufacturing industry. Thus, it has emerged as a potential material to increase P-removal from constructed wetlands (CWs). However, several limitations were highlighted by field experiments, including the high pH of treated water and clogging. We hypothesized that the addition of sedimentary r...

Basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF) is widely used in road construction, but there is a lack of characteristics in different asphalt mixtures. This study investigates the properties of hot-mixed asphalt (HMA), containing stone mastic asphalt (SMA), porous asphalt (PA), and dense-graded BOF as a partial substitution for natural aggregates. The purpose of this study is to evaluate various BOF slag co...
