The cooling rate of steel slag is sufficiently low so that crystalline compounds are generally formed. In this sense, the interest shown by the professional community in aggregates based on secondary raw materials is increasing, and slags constitute a good alternative. Slag is a partially vitreous byproduct of the process of smelting ore, which separates the desired metal fraction from the unwanted fraction. However, slags with higher FeO content promote the increase of the liquid phase proportion (L1) with chemical composition changes that produce disadvantages regarding wettability. The relative proportions of these compounds depend on the steel-making practice and the steel slag cooling rate. Epub 2020 Mar 12. Steel production necessarily involves production of millions of tons of slag as well as waste gases containing harmful constituents such as carbon dioxide, dioxin, and furans. Slags with the chemical and physical properties mentioned are applied in BOF slag coating practice in the industry with good results increasing the lifespan of the lining and protecting the bottom of the converter. Disadvantages. Invalid Email Address. To improve the performance of these industrial practices and their applications, it is necessary to deeply understand the fundamental phenomena so as to determine slags characteristics and physical properties required at process conditions. Different expressions have been proposed for foaming index . Safe disposal of slag and elimination of atmospheric pollution by waste gases are now a matter of serious concern in all steel producing countries. However, for civil applications, exhaustive controls are carried out in order to determine contents of Ba, Cd, Cr, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn, in order to avoid soil contamination. Another contribution of this work is the information concerning different carbonaceous materials used to foam BOF slags. The highest foaming index was obtained for slag E15 with 19.68% SiO2, 17.20% FeO, 9.47% MgO, and 5.28% MnO. These results indicate a dynamic evolution of the slag chemical composition during the practice. The content of %FeO in these four slags is between 22 and 30% and of %MnO between 5.4 and 8.3%. Crystallized slag sand is added to Portland cement in particles of 3.15mm. Rahman et al. The melting behavior was determined by hot-stage microscopy (HSM). In the case of basic slags, the authors propose to modify the surface of the aggregates by blending them with a slurry mixture of fine quarry dust and cement in order to avoid the expansion and to reduce the porosity. Because the ladle refining stage usually involves comparatively high flux additions, the properties of these synthetic slags are quite different from those of the furnace slag and are generally unsuitable for processing as steel slag aggregates. ACI World Headquarters Virtually all steel slags fall within these chemical ranges but not all steel slags are suitable as aggregates. Because ladle slag is a premelted flux, when it is recycled in the steelmaking process, it is easy to be remelted. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies These steel refining processes give rise to another type of slag, called "Ladle Furnace Slag" (or "LFS"), in a range of approximately 30-80 kg per tonne of refined steel. When the surface is solidified, spray a large amount of water to quench it, and then dump it to The slag truck is sprayed with water for cooling, and finally turned into the pool for cooling, Advantages: rapid cooling, less land occupation, large processing capacity, less dust, high steel slag activity, Disadvantages: the slag tray is easy to deform, the process is complicated, and the operation and investment costs are large. Its based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. Although more costly to install as it requires specialist equipment than wood which is a lot easier to install than steel and requires a less skilled labourer. All these factors lead to/foster the achievement of a good slag layer on the surface of MgO-C bricks. Based on the slag chemical composition, the binary basicity index (IB2) and ternary basicity index (IB3) are calculated to predict foamability of the slags applying ISD (see Table 3). Disclaimer. Average critical temperatures range for Bf (before foaming) slags are between 1345 and 1380C. Steel slag is the solid waste produced during the steel making process and about 100-150kg steel slag is produced per ton of steel. This requires extra cost and special care. Epub 2012 Mar 29. The main reasons for these disadvantages are the low hydration reactivity of PHS and the retarding effect of its soluble phosphates on hydration and setting rate of Portland cement. Date:2/23/2023, Publication:Materials Journal Upon exposure to atmospheric carbon dioxide, calcite (CaCO3) is precipitated in the form of surficial tufa and powdery sediment in surface water. The results were completed with information about the thermal behavior of the slags obtained by hot-stage microscopy (HSM). Blast furnace slag is obtained at 13001400C; viscosity is around 0.41.0poise; the chemical composition mainly includes FeO, CaO, MgO, SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, S, and C; the alkalinity (CaO/SiO2) is 1.2; and the alkalinity [(CaO+MgO)/SiO2] is around 1.5. Virtually all steel is now made in integrated steel plants using a version of the basic oxygen process or in specialty steel plants (mini-mills) using an electric arc furnace process. However, there are some disadvantages such as high shrinkage, formation of micro-cracks and rapid setting. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. London, SW7 2QJ, The reaction products are oxides, which are finally incorporated into the slag. High-grade steels have high carbon content. Free calcium and magnesium oxides are not completely consumed in the steel slag, and there is general agreement in the technical literature that the hydration of unslaked lime and magnesia in contact with moisture is largely responsible for the expansive nature of most steel slags. During the steelmaking process, slags float on top of the molten iron, forming a . The type of carbonaceous material added affects the foaming practice. Phone: 1.248.848.3800 The slag occurs as a molten liquid melt and is a complex solution of silicates and oxides that solidifies upon cooling. Different experimental tests applied in slag characterization are also detailed. To begin the lab, first all the correct equipment and materials had to be collected. Search results must be an exact match for the keywords. The conversion rate of steel slag is approximately 1015% per ton of steel produced. Please enter this 5 digit unlock code on the web page. Blast furnace slags cooled in air constitute a crystallized material used as raw material instead of sand in the production of concrete. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. It is important to note that sulfur additions suppressed slag foaming and tended to increase the size of CO gas bubbles. Poor steel slag stability, Process characteristics and process: Pour the hot molten slag into the slag pot and transport it to the side of the slag tray. Invalid Email Address Along the steel conversion process, the oxygen blown is mostly combined with elements dissolved in the melt. Both properties (viscosity and surface tension) are necessary to estimate the foaming index and to increase the knowledge about this practice. Droussi Z, D'Orazio V, Hafidi M, Ouatmane A. J Hazard Mater. In the present study, this function of steel slag was applied to the composting of raw organic wastes (ROWs). The principles underneath this movement bring new requirements with an emphasis on the rational use of material and energy resources by controlled minimization of total emissions produced. They usually consist of the steel slag that falls on the floor of the plant at various stages of operation, or slag that is removed from the ladle after tapping. Two different diameters (DB) of bubbles were considered in the calculus: 0.015 m and 0.005 m. The results obtained are also detailed in Table 3. Slag as a mixture of oxide has specific properties of melting behavior, viscosity, and surface tension, among others [2]. These materials must be source separated, and well-defined handling practices must be in place to avoid contamination of the steel slag aggregate. Date:11/30/2022, Publication:Materials Journal Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, the American Concrete Institute is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development, dissemination, and adoption of its consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a commitment to pursuing the best use of concrete. Enhanced humification by carbonated basic oxygen furnace steel slag--II. Figure 18-1. . There are multiple components that make an alka-seltzer dissolve. Chemical and structural characteristics of three carbonaceous materials were studied. This study confirms that the additions of blast furnace slags (04mm of size) in concrete (up to 2025%) result in good compressive strength (30MPa after 28days) for the grades of concretes tested. For slags with FeO25.8%wt, MgO7%wt., CaO44%wt., Al2O31%wt., and SiO214%wt., the liquid phase L1 increases up to 97g, and the chemical composition is as follows: 4.33% MgO, 24.2% FeO, 6.16% MnO, 14.45% SiO2, 43.8% CaO, 1.03% Al2O3, 1.23% Fe2O3, 2.82% Ca3(PO4)2, 0.33% Mg3(PO4)2, and 1.40% Fe3(PO4)2. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Slags recycling in cement production, road buildup, or other applications (that involve soil contact) are subjected to important environmental requirements. These results show that ROWs are decomposed to low . was characterized by different experimental tests. This result is consistent with the %Ash experimentally determined. Tufa is a white, powdery precipitate that consists primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). At the end of the refining operation, the liquid steel is tapped (poured) into a ladle while the steel slag is retained in the vessel and subsequently tapped into a separate slag pot. Disadvantages of Blast-Furnace Slag Cement Due to this property, this type of cement can be used where the problem of thermal cracking is foreseen. As it was already mentioned, viscosity is considerably affected by FeO content. A new concept considers to use the waste of one industry as a resource in another industry. The slag processor may also be required to satisfy moisture content criteria (e.g., limit the amount of moisture in the steel slag aggregate prior to shipment to a hot mix asphalt plant) and to adopt material handling (processing and stockpiling) practices similar to those used in the conventional aggregates industry to avoid potential segregation. Epub 2011 Nov 16. The results were correlated with the information of the slag characterization. Asphalt Concrete Aggregate, Granular Base, and Embankment or Fill. As it is known, converter slags are an extremely complex mix of oxides that determine the slag physical properties such as viscosity, density, surface tension, and others. It is used as either an additional or substitute material in road construction, filter or soil stabilizer in these cases. To avoid volumetric instability of the cement material, MgO content is determined. Samitinjay S. Bansode, in Characteristics and Uses of Steel Slag in Building Construction, 2016 4.6 Slag applications in road constructionpavement structure. PMC EAF slags present great possibilities of recycling, similar to those of BOF slags. Foaming was generally found to improve as surface tension decreases, increasing slag viscosity and suspension of second-phase particles. There are many grades of steel that can be produced, and the properties of the steel slag can change significantly with each grade. Up to 18 months may be needed to hydrate the expansive oxides. To control foam height, carbonaceous particles can be added to slag with adequate size and low volatile content. The addition of blast furnace slag into cement avoids a part of limestone and coal extraction and makes it possible to diminish the CO2 emissions that cause environment pollution. Almost from 600-700C half of steel strength reduced. It is important to take into account that in order to enhance the performance of this industrial practice, it is necessary to understand deeply the associated fundamental phenomena. Finally, the corrosion of the steel rebars in the reinforced EAF slag concrete, after a year in the tidal seawater environment, showed greater susceptibility to corrosion than in the limestone reference concrete. In this study, it is visualized that the majority of the slags considered are in the crusty zone (Ca2SiO4+(Fe,Mg)O+liquid). Also steel isnt renewable while wood is but wood requires more maintenance due to the different ways it is attacked. Choi et al. Email Address is required At 1600C, the average of the contact angle measured was average=33. Chemical characteristics of carbonaceous materials. The ingot production is complex.

Only four slags (E1, E10, E11, and E14) with IB32.5 are near the creamy zone ((Fe,Mg)O+liquid; see Figure 3). used. Physicochemical properties of slag and molten metal directly affect the surface and interfacial properties in refining process of molten metal [2]. Disadvantages of Structural Steel Structures. Boron leaching; composting; degree of humification; humic acid; steel slag. This is affected by the concentration of surfactants and the chemical activity of the surface active component, which determines the surface active concentration in the surface layer [15]. Slag recycling in the steel job constitutes a relevant way of reusing with important economic impact on refractory costs. however, ssa has little effect on top-down fatigue and moisture susceptibility of the sample mixes. After that, the Erlenmeyer flask was filled with 100 mL of distilled water. The iron and steel slag used as aggregates for asphalt roads are iron and steel by-products. Oxidation and reduction reactions continuously change slag composition, and chemical reactions produce CO gas that also changes significantly with time [19]. wood which could have been used but it is longer lasting and is one of the strongest construction materials. As the slag is finely grounded, it has the valence to fill the pores efficiently, workability is high and bleeding is low. However, it is relevant to highlight that ladle slag reuse promotes dephosphorization reaction at BOF and can substitute expensive steelmaking agents, and besides, the process can be more ecofriendly. Processed steel slag has favorable mechanical properties for aggregate use, including good abrasion resistance, good soundness characteristics, and high bearing strength. The addition of blast furnace slag into cement avoids a part of limestone and coal extraction and makes it possible to diminish the CO 2 emissions that cause environment pollution. The presence of impurities and possible reactions between the crucible material and the slag produces a transportation problem in the interface that can reduce the values of the properties and can occasionally modify wettability. In Figure 1, a comparison of the viscosity values obtained for slags A, B, C, D, and E shows that slags of the E group, with FeO content lower than 18 %wt. Consequently, an alternative is the application of theoretical models to estimate the viscosity and surface tension, as a function of temperature, on the basis of slag chemical compositions [13, 14]. It was found that steel slag is volumetrically unstable as compared to blast furnace slag due to the content of expansive oxides such as MgO and CaO. Date:8/1/2022, Publication:Special Publication Slower rates of gas generation and higher surface tension values cause slag to trap gases and sustain foaming. The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the For this purpose, a small closed system batch reactor was used to conduct the dissolution of steel slags in an aqueous medium under . A critical review of the bioavailability and impacts of heavy metals in municipal solid waste composts compared to sewage sludge. To summarize, slag recycling requires the availability of detailed and precise information on their behavior, physical properties, and structural characteristics. The timing for adding steel slag affected the degree of humification of HAs in the composts. Three materials were studied considering physicochemical properties and structural aspects. The results show that the fluidity of the paste containing . two main disadvantages. The solid phases include 2.66 g of MgO and 0.44 g of Fe (bcc). The content of sulfates or sulfides is also controlled to avoid SO2 emissions causing air pollution. In modern steel plants, the emphasis is placed simultaneously on quantity and quality. Open Access is an initiative that aims to make scientific research freely available to all. Enhanced humification by carbonated basic oxygen furnace steel slag--I.

Slag foaming is also applied in EAF to prevent the heat loss and to decrease the refractory wear. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too. Download scientific diagram | The two main ways of the slag entrainment in the simulation: (a) horizontal back-flow toward the SEN and upper-flow toward the free surface. The high iron oxide content of the aggregate results in an aggregate that is very hard and very dense (SSA is 20-30% heavier than naturally occurring aggregates such as basalt and granite). Maintenance cost of a steel structure is very high. Disadvantages of Portland Slag Cement. An increase in silica concentration promotes lower surface tension of slag and leads to smaller CO gas bubbles and their easier escape from the slag. In this area of research, it has been concluded that slag is suitable for use in concrete under normal enviromental conditions and has more fire resistance than the commonly used aggregate, but when combined with Portland cement, slag does not provide increased fire resistance to concrete. Unable to treat steel slag that does not flow. Pit slag and clean out slag are other types of slag commonly found in steel-making operations. In this case, some plants require special equipment installation. Report No. Steel slag is a major industrial waste in steel industries, and its dissolution behavior in water needs to be characterized in the larger context of its potential use as an agent for sequestering CO 2. In addition to slag recovery, the liquid furnace slag and ladle slags are generally processed to recover the ferrous metals. The Offices 2 Building, One Central Alka-Seltzer is a medical drug that works as a pain reliever and an antacid. Dubai, UAE Senani et al. Therefore, accurate viscosity values are essential for the optimization and improvement of metallurgical processes. Typical physical properties of steel slag. Steel slag aggregates are highly angular in shape and have rough surface texture. Steel is an alloy of iron. The growth of the arc furnace-based steel industry has been encouraged by modern arc furnaces of large capacity and ultra-high power, electrical efficiency improvement, and metallurgical efficiency through oxygen lancing or the co-jet technology. Gupta, J. D., and W. A. Kneller. Steelmaking slag added into ladle slags makes it possible to minimize slag line wear. The melting behavior was determined by hot-stage microscopy (HSM). Greater persistence and reduced penetrance due to fineness. In addition, solid and liquid phases of the slag (at practice temperatures) in the system have relevant influence on the adherence behavior. Table 2 details the chemical composition of the BOF slags selected for the study in order to improve the foaming process. Detail of one particle with considerable white ash veins. It is a lot more fire resistant than wood as it melts at 1370 degrees Celsius while wood burns at 450 Celsius. Slag splashing, which protects the bottom, the middle, and the upper parts of the refractory lining. If a converter is used in the steel-making process, with water being sprayed on the slag for cooling purpose, the slag generated is termed a converter slag. To increase. JEGEL. Process characterization and the role of inorganic components in the formation of humic-like substances. Wood can suffer from fungal attack; it also decays, and suffers from insect attacks while steel mainly suffers from corrosion. Do you add scrap or hot metal to the converter first? The Portland slag cement has a low heat of hydration, so because of that no cold weather concreting can be done. Comparison of viscosity values of slags for groups A, B, C, D, and E with different FeO content. Another point of interest is the foam life time, because it can vary greatly depending on the surfactant compounds present. Contact our London head office or media team here. Steel slag has a small grain size for easy iron . The predominant compounds are dicalcium silicate, tricalcium silicate, dicalcium ferrite, merwinite, calcium aluminate, calcium-magnesium iron oxide, and some free lime and free magnesia (periclase). The copper complexation ability of a synthetic humic-like acid formed by an abiotic humification process and the effect of experimental factors on its copper complexation ability. However, the pH of leachate from steel slag can exceed 11, a level that can be corrosive to aluminum or galvanized steel pipes placed in direct contact with the slag. This makes it susceptible to corrosion. Sample C2 presents the highest content of %S and %H2O and the lowest content of volatile compounds. Licensee IntechOpen. Guilherme Constantino Meirelles, Anelisa de Aquino Vidal Lacerda Soares, Furthermore, the ash content of materials C1 and C2 allows predicting rapid gas generation, which is not favorable for foam stability. In addition, as previously noted, expansion due to hydration reactions should be addressed prior to use. The slag occurs as a molten liquid melt and is a complex solution of silicates and oxides that solidifies upon cooling. Ash content is around 11% in materials C1 and C2 (typically in metallurgical cokes). Recycling and Use of Waste Materials and By-Products in Highway Construction, National Cooperative Highway Research Program Synthesis of Highway Practice 199, Transportation Research Board, Washington, DC, 1994.
