The dephosphorization slag has a great potential as the secondary resources of manganese and phosphorus, while quite a large amount of slag is landfilled and simply reused such as cement. The objective of this study is to investigate the recovery of manganese and phosphorus by wet magnetic separation technique. The hot metal pretreatment slag (dephosphorization slag) generally contains a Ca3P2O...

This paper focuses on research concerning the ecotoxicological properties of granulated slag from the pilot production of gray iron with red mud addition and concrete composites with the application of this slag. Red mud is a hazardous waste generated in the production of aluminium oxide. Negative ecotoxicological tests are, therefore, one of the basic prerequisites for the ability to use granu...

Most of the dust generated from the copper smelting process in Chili has been stored after the stabilization by hydrometallurgical process because it contains high concentration of arsenic. However, in recent years, the generation of dust has increased because of degrading the quality of concentrate. In addition, the environmental regulations become stricter. On the other hand, valuable metals ...

Some variables that influence the slag splashing phenomenon in an oxygen steelmaking converter are numerically analyzed in this work. The effect of lance height, jet velocity, jet exit angle and slag viscosity on the washing and ejection mechanisms of slag splashing is studied in this work employing twodimensional transient computational fluid dynamics simulations. A parameter here called avera...

Copper in discarded slag decreases the profits and copper recovery during pyrometallurgical extraction processes. The losses to can be reduced by using a settling furnace, which mechanically entrained droplets separate from under action of gravity. rate increased modifying composition and, thus, properties, are known influence rate. knowledge industrial CaO modification iron silicate with Fe/Si...

The equilibrium-phase relations between copper mattes and spinel-saturated iron silicate slags were investigated at 1250°C pSO2 of 0.25 atm. experiments conducted in synthesized spinel crucibles (Fe3O4) controlled CO-CO2-SO2-Ar gas mixtures using a high-temperature isothermal equilibration/quenching technique. compositions characterized an electron probe X-ray microanalyzer. matte slag displaye...

Physical properties of molten slag such as viscosity, density and surface tension have a significant influence on the slag splashing process in an oxygen steelmaking converter. Particularly, viscosity determines the shear forces that rule droplets formation. Besides, stirring of the molten slag bath strongly depends on this property. In this work, the influence of viscosity on the efficiency of...

As a valuable byproduct of iron-making process, blast furnace slag contains tremendous amount of sensible heat. Granulation of blast furnace slag is the first step for its heat recovery. Due to environmental and energy issues, dry centrifugal granulation has received a considerable amount of attention. However, the flight dynamics of blast furnace slag, which is of great importance for size des...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reuse of desulfurization slag in cement clinker production and its influence on the formation of clinker phases. The desulfurization slag that mainly contained Ca and Si was identified as non-toxic, and thus it should be suitable to be reused in clinker production. The addition of desulfurization slag increased the melt phase during clinkerizatio...

Alkaline treatment with steel slag and NaOH addition were investigated under different pH conditions for the fermentation of waste activated sludge. Better performance was achieved in steel slag addition scenarios for both sludge hydrolysis and acidification. More solubilization of organic matters and much production of higher VFA (volatile fatty acid) in a shorter time can be achieved at pH10 ...
