Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel cementitious product produced from steelworks slag additivation to obtain material having properties suitable for use in the partial or total clinker replacement for the production of different types of cement. The process, which is also object of this invention, aims to adapt the properties of steelworks slag, by means of thermochemical treatment, including and preferably, but not only, still in the liquid steelworks slag pot, taking advantage of the thermal input of steel processing, to form a greater amount of alite (essential compound to increase pozzolanicity), under controlled conditions. After additivation, preferably, but not exclusively, the additivated steelworks slag is subjected to quenching, comminution and concentration to stabilize the alite fraction, to release the present phases and to remove any excess contaminants, such as metallic iron.

Abstract:
This slag-supplying container of an electric furnace for reduction processing of steel-making slag includes: a container body that causes hot steel-making slag to flow to the electric furnace; a slag discharging portion connected with an electric-furnace-side slag-supplying port; a slag receiving portion that receives the hot steel-making slag supplied; a lid that opens and closes the slag receiving portion; an exhausting portion that discharges exhaust gas from the electric furnace; and, a tilting unit that tilts the container body to adjust the amount of inflow of the hot steel-making slag to the electric-furnace-side slag-supplying port.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of reducing slag, including the steps of: examining the components of slag to be reduced, and setting a target composition ratio after reduction; determining the mixing ratio and input amount of a complex reducing agent of a plurality of reducing agents in accordance with the set target composition ratio to determine the complex reducing agent; and supplying the complex reducing agent into molten slag to reduce the slag. The method is advantageous in that the reduction efficiency of slag can be maximized, various kinds of reducing agents can be efficiently used, and the recovery amount of valuable metals can be increased, thus reducing cost.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for recovering valuable metals from slag and manufacturing multifunctional aggregate, wherein a reducing agent is fed into molten slag discharged into a slag pot or a slag reforming pot from a converter or an electric arc furnace thus recovering valuable metals from the molten slag, and then the molten slag is formed into a lightweight porous structure. Accordingly, the valuable metals (Fe, Mn) are recovered from the slag discharged from the converter or electric arc furnace, and slag having low specific gravity is ensured using foaming and controlled cooling and then formed into multifunctional aggregate.
Abstract:
In a device for atomizing liquid melts, in particular oxidic slags or glasses, including a slag tundish and an outlet opening into which a lance is immersed to inject gases or vapor while forming an annular gap, the lance (3) is comprised of two coaxial tubes (4, 5) which are separately displaceable in the axial direction and fixable in their respective axially displaced positions.
Abstract:
In a method for producing puzzolanic or hydraulic grinding additives for the cement industry from basic oxidic'slags, in particular steel slags, using a metal bath for the reduction of metal oxides contained in the slags, the basicities of the liquid slags are adjusted to values lying 0.1 to 0.5 below the basicity value (CaO/SiO2) of the target slag prior to the reduction by adding acidic corrective substances such as, e.g., quartz sand and/or blast furnace slag and/or SiO2-containing corrective substances.
Abstract:
A method of recovering metals and producing a secondary slag from base metal smelter slag produced by a copper or nickel smelter includes mixing the smelter slag with at least one reducing agent selected from the group consisting of carbon and aluminum, said carbon (if present) being from about 1% to about 10% by weight of the slag and said aluminum (if present) being from about 5 to about 30% by weight of the slag, and with from zero to about 60% calcium oxide by weight of the slag. The mixture is heated above the eutectic melting point thereof directly and to ignition temperature aluminothermically (if aluminum is present as reducing agent) to reduce the iron silicate to ferrosilicon containing substantially all the copper, nickel and cobalt which was in the smelter slag and form a secondary slag comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of calcium silicate, calcium aluminate and calcium iron aluminum silicate. The ferrosilicon is then separated from the secondary slag.
Abstract:
A process for making a binder from steelmaking slag. About 5-30 wt. % of a reforming agent selected from the group consisting of silicate rock, mineral, calamine, glass waste, foundry waste sand, waste brick, red mud, volcanic spouting matter, blast furnace slag, desilica slag, iron oxide and mixtures thereof is added to a molten steelmaking slag, causing a molten reaction forming a reacted steelmaking slag. The reacted steelmaking slag is rapidly cooled to form a powder. Iron is removed from the powder and the powder is then mixed with from about 3-5 wt. % of a powder selected from the group consisting of lime, plaster, cement and mixtures thereof, which can then be used as a binder for pellets or briquettes.
Abstract:
A method for the production of synthetic wollastonite material. The treatment involves slag melt which is obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate. This slag is then treated with water under a preferred embodiment and burned at a certain temperature in an oxidizing atmosphere.
