Alkali-activated cement (AAC) is either clinker-less or free, and it is also environmentally friendly due to its low carbon footprint and wide range sources. Industrial wastes, like steel slag and blastfurnace slag, usually have latent hydraulic reactivity, and can be used as precursors of AAC. Both clinkerless and clinker-free AAC were prepared from the mixture of …

Alkaline slag plays a crucial role in the metallurgical process by significantly influencing the efficiency of steel refining and the quality of the final steel products [1], [2], [3].Alkaline slag plays crucial roles in thermal insulation, preventing re-oxidation, absorbing impurities in molten steel, and removing harmful elements from the steel.

Among the minor elements found in metallurgical slags, sulfur and manganese can potentially influence the corrosion process of steel embedded in alkali-activated slag cements, as both are redox-sensitive. Particularly, it is possible that these could significantly influence the corrosion process of the steel. Two types of alkali-activated slag mortars were prepared in this …

Steel slag has the characteristics of rough surface, heavy ratio, good abrasion resistance and firm combination with asphalt, which can be widely used in road engineering, reclamation and other aspects. As a roadbed filling material, steel slag mainly has stability problems. Generally, f …

This work studies mineral carbonation of steel slags with the aim to reduce the amount of slag that is landfilled. Besides permanently storing carbon dioxide (CO2), carbonating the slags can improve their quality for use in beneficial applications and reduces the leaching of harmful heavy metals. In order to intensify the mineral carbonation process, mechanical …

The components of steel slag such as C 2S, C 3Sand alkaline oxides containing calcium and magnesium can react with CO 2 to form carbonate minerals which present better volume stability [ 8,9]. In ...

Generally, the basicity of alkaline slag is more than two. In the smelting of nonferrous heavy metals, the acidity and alkalinity of slag is expressed by the ratio of oxygen in acidic substances to oxygen in alkaline substances, which is called the silicate degree. ... This utilization method of steel slag in Britain has been used for more than ...

The MgO, CaO, and other alkaline substances in steel slag have hydration reaction activity which can release a large amount of alkalinity after hydrolysis increasing the pH value of acidic wastewater; when the solubility product (K sp) of the contaminant is reached, the precipitate is formed and separated from the wastewater to achieve the ...
