The basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF) was wide used in road construction, but there was 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 ...

plasters are produced from a light refractory material, mainly mgo (m.p. 2800ºc), a binder, and a void forming substance for insulating purposes. different oxides from the slag penetrate into these voids and provide low melting-point phases suchasrhodonite (mnsio3) (1290ºc), tephorite (mn2sio4) (1345ºc), merwinite (ca3mgsi2o8) (1575ºc), monticellite (camgsio4) (1490ºc), and enstatite (mgsio3) (...

A transient mathematical model was developed for the description of fluid flow, heat transfer and electromagnetic phenomena involved in the production of ferronickel in electric arc furnaces. The key operating variables considered were the thermal and electrical conductivity of the slag and the shape, immersion depth and applied electric potential of the electrodes. It was established that the ...

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...

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 ...

eaf plants normally consume coal and coke as reactants, alloying elements, or fuel. the price of these materials varies from € 0.20-0.35/kg. this is while nearly 10 million pieces of tires are annually discarded in iran. the present study shows that scrap tires can be used as a substitute for coal and coke in eaf plants. thirteen grades of steel including low, medium, and high carbon steels as ...

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...

Antioxidant effects of ethyl acetate fraction of Mentha spicata (L.) were evaluated against 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide injected mice. For this study, experiment setup consisted of 36 albino mice of either sex divided into 6 groups: Control (25% DMSO in water), ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) alone group (80, 160 mg/Kg body weight-bwt), 4-NQO (7.5 mg/Kg bwt-IP) alone and 4-NQO + EAF. EAF and vehicles...
