Portland blast furnace slag cement is economical and environmentally friendly because it conserves resources and energy, leading to reduction in CO 2 emissions. Portland blast furnace slag cement reduces impact to the environment. By using granulated blast furnace slag, consumption of limestone, the main raw material of cement is reduced by ...



The alumina content can reach 15–17 wt% in the blast furnace slag if the high alumina iron ore is partially used. At present, the alumina content in the blast furnace slag in most Chinese steel plants is in this range. It is recommended that the lower limit of the (MgO wt%)/(Al 2 O 3 wt%) ratio be 0.3.



Slag cement is a by-product from the iron manufacturing industry. Molten slag is produced with molten iron in blast furnaces operation at a temperature of ~1500 °C. When rapidly quenched with high-pressure water jets, molten slag transfers to granulated blast furnace slag or slag granules [30]. After the process of drying and grinding, the ...





Physical and chemical characteristics of blast furnace slag. The blast furnace slag is classified by some countries, such as the United States and Canada, as a co-product of the iron and steel industry and, normally, silica, calcium, aluminum, magnesium and oxygen make up more than 95% of its composition (Özbay et al., 2016).



Applications of Blast Furnace Slag Cement . There are numerous applications and uses for the slag cement such as: Produces concretes with higher strength; Produces concrete with lower permeability which make it suitable for locations vulnerable to chloride and sulfate attacks; for example, piles and marine structures.; …



model [34]. A slag viscosity predictor tool (SVP) has been developed with the help of 24 such models for the analysis of glassy and blast furnace slags that are incorporated in a database called the slag viscosity modelling toolbox [35]. However, this toolbox is based on models that are created using experimental data and mathematical ...



GGBFS is formed when granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) is further processed or ground using conventional cement clinker grinding technology. GGBFS can be off-white in appearance and could pass for a powder fineness typically between 380m 2 /kg - 420m 2 /kg.. GGBFS is typically used in activation of granular pavement materials and as a …







The effect of Al2O3 and the Al2O3/SiO2(A/S) ratio on the viscosity of the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-TiO2 slag system was studied in the present work. At a fixed CaO/SiO2(C/S) ratio of 1.20, 9 mass pct MgO, and 1 mass pct TiO2, the viscosity increases with an increase in Al2O3 content at a range of 16 to 24 mass pct due to the …







The ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is a by-product of iron manufacturing which when added to concrete improves its properties such as workability, strength and durability. ... It is observed that the particle size of GGBFS varies with the grinding techniques used during its manufacture. It is also observed that the product from ...



The quality of raw materials (iron ore, coal, and coke) has a clear impact on the carbon emissions of the hot metal production in steel making. So far, very little work has been done to measure and quantify this impact. Yet for benchmarking, technology choice and general carbon optimization are important elements. The total slag production of a …





The slag is to have capacity for the removal of the alkalis, It is to fulfil the requirements for the desulphurisation. The composition of the primary slag must be uniform. Slag formation is to be confined to a limited height of the blast furnace and the slag must be stable. The slag is to provide good permeability in the zone of slag formation.

Sadek, Effect of cooling technique of blast furnace slag on the thermal behavior of solid cement bricks, Journal of Cleaner Production, 79 (2014) 134â€"141 ...



The formation process of blast furnace slag is mainly divided into three steps: primary slag, intermediate slag, and tapped slag. (1) Primary slag. It is formed along the top edge of cohesive zone and starts to drip when flowing to the lower edge of cohesive zone. The formation of primary slag includes solid-state reaction, softening, melting ...





An in-depth understanding about the reactions in the high-temperature zone of a blast furnace is significant to optimize both the current and future blast furnace process. The interfaces between coke, slag, and metal were observed using scanning electronic microscope with samples obtained from the tuyere level of a blast furnace. Two types of …







Introduction. China is the world's largest steel producer, with the China Iron and Steel Association estimating that the country's crude steel production in 2022 will be 935 million tonnes [Citation 1].Steel slag mainly refers to the blast furnace slag and converter slag produced in the process of iron making and steel making, and with the …



Blast furnace slag cements are produced by mixing granulated slag with Portland cement clinker and optimum gypsum amount according to the expected performance. The characteristics of these cements depend on slag and clinker fineness. The fineness of slag must be 400–500 m 2 /kg Blaine, inspite of the high energy consumption required in its …
