'Rules-of-thumb', some of which were originally intended for arc furnaces, play a significant role in the design process for slag containing furnaces. Lack of fundamental understanding of the physics driving the performance of these furnaces sometimes results in either overly conservative, or poorly performing designs. This paper will explore some key technical issues related to the correct des...

In this paper, the effect of MgO, BaO, Na 2 O and SrO addition to a pre-melted CaO-Al2O3 -Si 2 O synthetic slag on sulfur removal from plain carbon steel was studied under the same experimental conditions. The slags were pre-melted at 1400°C in an electric resistant furnace and desulfurization experiments were carried out in a high frequency induction furnace. The results showed that ...

The reuse of mineral wastes is one of the most suitable solid wastes solutions. Throughout the world, the large of the granular aggregates used in constructions exploit natural mountain resources and rivers. Using mineral waste as a part of concrete, it can be helped to create a green environment and also contribute to sustainable development. Since the copper production process in the Sarchesh...

this research was conducted in order to evaluate fatigue behavior of asphalt mixes containing electric arc furnace (eaf) steel slag. after initial evaluation of the properties of eaf steel slag using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electric microscope (sem), six sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set were treated replacing various portions of limestone aggregates of the mix wi...

J. Burja, F. Tehovnik, F. Vode, B. Arh, Institute of Metals and Technology, Ljubljana, Slovenia In this chromium slags that form during melting of chromium alloyed steels are examined. During melting and oxidation of these steel grades a considerable amount of chromium is lost, and gained back with slag reduction. Laboratory experiments were performed to study the mechanism of chromium oxide re...

Method: At first, two optimized fineness levels were attained for both cement substituting materials used in this study (GGW as glass fine ˂ 38μm (GF), glass superfine ˂ 25μm (GSF) and EAFS as slag fine ˂ 75μm (SF), slag superfine ˂ 32μm (SSF)). In addition to control mortar (CM), four types of binary mortar mixtures were cast by substituting cement 5-20% with GGW (GF and GSF) and 10-30% with E...

Properties of TiO2 powder got hydrometallurgically from the slag that was, together with pig iron, a product of reductional red mud electromelting were investigated using physico-chemical methods of analyzing. The samples of TiO2 powder contain high quantity of titanium compared with the used raw material granulated slag. Investigating the mophology of the powder samples, it has been found out ...

In this study, the blast furnace slag was used as absorbing bed and then, its ionic adsorption was studied. For this reason, various experimental parameters such as pH, contact time and the primary ion concentration were investigated. The remaining concentrations of ions such as; Mn2+ and Fe2+ in water were measured by atomic adsorption spectroscopy. The chemical and p...

In the current work, the properties of cement pastes doped with high amounts of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (HVS) were investigated. Portland cement (PC) was substituted with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (donated as slag) at very high amounts of 85%, 90%, 95% and 100%, by weight. PC paste without any content of slag was used as a reference. Some fresh and hardened properties su...
