This study explores the utilization of steel slag and fly ash in road construction to address the increasing demand for pavement materials and the scarcity of natural aggregates. For this purpose, steel slag–fly ash composite is stabilized with lime and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) to assess their utility as a subbase and base material in flexible …
Understanding Slag and Fly Ash. Before we compare slag vs fly ash, let's first understand what they are. Slag is a byproduct that results from the smelting process of various ores, such as iron, copper, and lead. When these ores are heated to extract the desired metal, slag is formed as molten, which is later cooled and solidified.
Recently, to reduce the cost of fabricating PCC towards its applications in engineering, some researchers have investigated the industrial solid waste (ISW) based PM to encapsulate molten salt, such as industrial slag, fly ash, tailings, and red mud [30], which can also improve resource utilization and reduce the environmental pollution of ISW.. Argyrios et …
Coarse ash particles, also known as bottom ash or slag, fall to the bottom of the combustion chamber, while the lighter fine ash particles, termed fly ash, remain suspended in the flue gas. ... Widely used as a raw material in the manufacturing process of fly ash bricks and even cement making, fly ash has become an innovative product with a ...
It is known that cement production, including CaCO 3 calcination and clinker production, is associated with high energy consumption and the emission of a considerable amount of greenhouse gas. The amount of CO 2 released in the production of cement is about one ton for each ton of cement clinker. Almost 8% of the global emission of CO 2 is produced …
A new CO 2 curing system was established where 99.9% purified CO 2 was purchased from a local chemical plant, and over 90% of the solid raw materials were obtained from local industrial solid waste, including steel slag and fly ash. Compared to the traditional steam curing process, this system was operated at 23 °C under 0.8 MPa and does not ...
Steel slag was collected from the ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, Hazira, Surat, Gujarat. Fly ash was procured from the NTPC plant located at Ramagundam, Telangana. GGBS and lime were purchased from local suppliers. In the comparative analysis of steel slag and y ash, both materials exhibit a grey coloration, indicative of their industrial origin.
slag piles at about 129 processing plants (including some iron and steel plants with more than one slag-processing ... reduce the demand for fly ash as a raw material in clinker manufacture, and air-cooled and steel slags could be used as substitute raw materials. Demand for GGBFS is likely to increase because its use in cement yields a superior
High-alumina fly ash microbeads and steel slag were used as main raw materials to synthesize feldspar porous ceramics via high-temperature solid phase sintering by adding pulverized coal as a pore-forming agent. The effects of the steel slag and pore-forming agent on the apparent porosity and flexural strength of porous ceramics were investigated. The phase …
Mineral process wastes, such as metallurgical slags nowadays, are of significant metals and materials resources in the circular economy. The usability of iron-making slag is well established; however, steel slag still needs to be utilized due to various physicochemical constraints.
