Looking at the merits and associated benefits, some of the top steel-producing countries have adopted or upgraded with a recycling technique of steel slags from time to time for various applications (as shown in Fig. 3), such as for road construction, soil enrichment, cement production, etc. Notably, recycling steel slag for a particular …
Slag powder, on the other hand, is a byproduct of the steel industry. It is created when molten slag, a waste product from steel production, is rapidly cooled and ground into a fine powder. Slag powder is primarily composed of silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
Steel slag could be valuable for promoting a sustainable relationship between the concrete and steel industries. C 2 S, C 3 S, C 4 AF, and C 3 A in steel slags are typical mineral phases of Portland cement, indicating the potential of steel slags to function as hydraulic materials. Therefore, one recycling option is to grind steel slags …
