The ‘terre di rogo’ (pyre debris) are black-coloured layers resulting from the crematory pyres, placed inside graves within ritual of secondary deposition and containing different materials, including cremation slags. characterisation slags, until now rarely conducted by chemical techniques, can provide useful data to explain more precisely protocol funeral better understand effects fire during...

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...

The paper embodies the influence of thermal treatment on the morphology, composition and leaching behaviour of titania slag. When Ti-slag was subjected to heat treatment, it developed pores and oxidized at high temperature. This slag consists mainly of a M3O5 phase with an orthorhombic structure. The decrepitation was studied by oxidizing the titania slag sample produced in a pot/muffle furnace...

This paper examines two mold powder related process problems experienced at BHP's Whyalla operations. Bands of deep transverse depressions extending about the perimeter of the strand in the first meter of cast product were identified as a potential cause of breakouts. These were associated with level drops in the mold during startup that allow sintered material to accumulate against the mold wa...
