Slag is the by-product of iron- and steelmaking processes. Normally, around half to one tonne of slag would be generated for yielding one tonne of rolled iron or steel (Lobato et al. 2015).It was reported that the world steel production was 1.9 billion tonnes in 2016, which suggested that at least around 1 billion tonnes of slag is produced during …

About EAF Slag. EAF slag is a rock-like material generated during the steel-making process. Approximately 130 facilities across the United States generate EAF slag. EAF slag is used as an alternative to rock fragments, both in encapsulated uses (e.g., contained in concrete) and unencapsulated uses (e.g., loose ground cover material).

Steel slag has now gained much attention because of its new applications. The properties of slag greatly influence its use and thus had got varied applications. The chemical composition of steel slag varies as …

The World Steel Association8 forecast global finished steel consumption to increase by 1.8% in 2023 and increase by 1.9% in 2024. Pig iron production in the United States was estimated to have increased by 6% to 21 million tons in 2023 from 19.8 million tons in 2022 despite the idling of one blast furnace in the fourth quarter.

Abstract. Large volumes of slags are formed as by-products during the refinement of pig iron by basic oxygen steelmaking or electric arc furnace steelmaking. In order to lower the environmental impact of the steel industry and ensure its economic sustainability, there have been significant studies finding the ways to recycle by-products.

Abstract The state of the art for the recovery of metals from steel industry by-products using hydrometallurgical processes is reviewed. The steel by-products are different slags, dusts, and sludges from a blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), electric arc furnace (EAF), and sinter plant, as well as oily mill scale and pickling sludge. The …

Abstract. This work presents the iron oxide recovery from electric arc furnace slag with different temperature and time using acid leaching method. The results showed that formation of iron oxide ...

The degree of cooling imparted to SS is also a deciding factor in the iron recovery. For SS slag that has been cooled slowly, the iron recovery percentages have been ... Long-term properties of concrete containing ground granulated blast furnace slag and steel slag. Mag. Concr. Res., 66 (2014), pp. 1095-1103, 10.1680/macr.14.00074. …

Since BF slag contains little Fe, recovery of Fe from it is not important. However, steel slag is usually subjected to metal recovery prior to its application outside the iron and steel making process. The iron and steel industry has applied mineral processing technology to recover steel scrap (Fe: 90%) and iron oxide concentrate …

Ironmaking and steelmaking slags are inevitably generated as a by-product from ironmaking and steelmaking processes. Main components of the slags are CaO, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, MgO, and iron oxides, and the compositions of slags depend on the process.In the case of Japan, three types of slags, namely BF slag, BOF slag, and EAF slag are …

Blast furnace slag (BFS) is produced in huge quantities by iron and steel companies, which pose a large major disposal challenge. In 2013, global steel slag output was approximated to be between 170 and 250 million tonnes (Gomes et al. 2018). BFS is a non-metallic output of steel manufacturing.
