Steel slags, the main waste product from the steel industry, may have several reuse possibilities. Among others, building applications represent a crucial field. However, the potential impact of harmful substances on the environment should be assessed. The aim of this study was to assess the phytotoxicity of steel slags (SS) and concrete mixtures cast with a …

Slags of varying compositions are available from a diverse range of industrial sources. The obtained slags are pre-treated to recover the remaining metal. These preprocessed slags are utilized in the production of cement and cement blocks, as well as roadbed aggregate [3]. The primary contributor to slag production internationally is the iron ...

The aim of this study is to investigate and analyse the supply chain that deals with the management of steel slags at meso-level, in order to investigate the state of implementation of industrial symbiosis (IS), its potential and its improvement.

Figure 4 shows the total waste generation from the steel manufacturing process and how much industry and academic research got attention in various applications. Their chemical composition, along with BOF, EAF, and LF slag, is shown in Table 2.It is apparent that the BOF and EAF slags have almost identical chemical components, but a higher amount of …

Slags are important by-products generated by ferrous and non-ferrous pyrometallurgical operations, with hundreds of millions of tonnes generated globally each year. Depending on the chemical and mineralogical compositions of slags, they may be disposed of as waste, which can then weather and release contaminants into the environment with the ...

The metals industry is under ever-increasing pressures to reduce its energy and resource intensity and environmental footprint. While major strides have been made in this regard by increased recycling of metals, the introduction of breakthrough technologies such as steel continuous casting, or energy recovery from waste gases, few options have remained to …

Industrial waste slags including ferronickel (Greece) and fayalite (Finland) slags were mixed with ground waste concrete for the production of inorganic polymers (IPs). The effects of different ...

Industrial wastes widely used in CO 2 mineralization mainly include BFS, CFA, steel slags, waste gypsum, and red mud. Among these, the MC of steel slag has received the most research attention, although the capacity of CO 2 mineralization using …

Industrial waste slags including ferronickel (Greece) and fayalite (Finland) slags were mixed with ground waste concrete for the production of inorganic polymers (IPs). The effects of different parameters during alkaline activation such as solution concentration (6 to 12 M NaOH), curing temperature (60 to 80 °C), and aging period (7 to 28 days ...

Waste production by industrial sectors can harmfully impact the environment, and its amount has been increasing globally (Aljerf, 2018b).Environmental Protection Agency in the United States (US EPA) showed that in 2020 the US industrial economic sector produced about 24% of total greenhouse gas emissions (EPA, 2023a).It includes production by burning fuels …

Depending on the chemical and mineralogical compositions of slags, they may be disposed of as waste, which can then weather and release contaminants into the environment with the potential to impact the ecosystem and humans.

USA and some other countries, slag is not classified as hazardous waste. Furthermore, slag shall be treated as resources and not as waste. Keywords: Slag, Steel, Blast Furnace, Hazardous …

The aim of this study is to investigate and analyse the supply chain that deals with the management of steel slags at meso-level, in order to investigate the state of …

Worldwide about 620 mio. tons of different slags are produced yearly as byproducts of iron and steel production. Their utilisation for different purposes, but mainly in the construction sector, is a significant contribution to resource conservation and CO2 emissions reduction.

The industrial production of energy (that involves combustion of coal), production of steel items and diammonium ammonium fertilizer generate a huge amount of wastes such as fly ash (FA), steel slag (SS) and phosphogypsum (PG), respectively.

The appropriate use of industrial solid waste is an effective method for alleviating environmental pollution. In this study, the potential of using desulfurized gypsum (DG), …

The industrial production of energy (that involves combustion of coal), production of steel items and diammonium ammonium fertilizer generate a huge amount of wastes such as …

With the development of metallurgical industry, various slags are generated. On the one hand, the storage of metallurgical slags occupies a lot of land. ... In China, the annual production of EFFS exceeds 30 million tons, and it has become the fourth largest metallurgical waste after BFS, SS and red mud (Gu et al., 2019a, ...
