SLAG - IRON AND STEEL 16 Slag - Iron and Steel S lag is a by-product generated during manufacturing of pig iron and steel. It is produced by action of various fluxes upon gangue materials within the iron ore during the process of pig iron making in blast furnace and steel manufacturing in steel melting shop.
Process solid waste from the conventional process, including furnace slag and collected dust, is generated at an average rate ranging from 300 kg/t of steel manufactured to 500 kg/t, of which 30 kg may be considered hazardous depending on the concentration of heavy metals present.
Iron ore tailings (IOT) and slag sand can be used for manufacturing stabilized geopolymer blocks of good quality and strength. The field tests conducted on geopolymer …
1.4 MANUFACTURING PROCESS 1.4.1 Sponge Iron (DRI) The proposal consists of 4x600 TPD of DRI kilns to produce 7,92,000 TPA of Sponge Iron with 4 x 11 MW WHRB facility. Refractory lined rotary kilns will be used for reduction of iron ore in solid state. Refractory lined rotary kilns will be used for reduction of iron ore in solid state.
Further, water absorption (WA) of iron ore bricks was low in comparison to fly ash and clay bricks. Modi . et al. 6. manufactured bricks by mixing iron ore mine wastes with cement and sand in 40:30:30 proportions. The compressive strength and water absorption of bricks were 42.98 MPa and 2.42% respectively.
The limited cementitious activity of steel slag (SS) powder restricts its large-scale utilization as a replacement material for Portland cement and even more so for inert iron ore tailings (IOT). The micro-IOT (MIOT) were utilized as additives to improve the compressive strength and hydration degree of a binary system containing SS and PC.
In this paper, iron tailings were used to prepare baking-free bricks in synergy with solid wastes such as granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), steel slag (SS), desulfurization …
this study focuses on using iron ore tailings and slag sand as a replacement for clay or natural sand for the production of stabilized geopolymer blocks. Also, in this
The limited cementitious activity of steel slag (SS) powder restricts its large-scale utilization as a replacement material for Portland cement and even more so for inert iron ore tailings (IOT). The micro-IOT (MIOT) were utilized as additives to improve the compressive strength and hydration degree of a binary system containing SS and PC. Compressive …
The present paper discusses the preparation of eco-friendly bricks using fine-grained low-silica iron ore tailings and a non-cement curing agent system as the primary raw …
The mining industry has been expanding and consequently increasing the associated environmental impacts, especially regarding this process's high volume of iron ore tailings (IOT) disposal. The best way to solve the problems caused by IOT is to develop large-scale utilization technologies that may consume large quantities of it.
Slag has a great appearance and is a low-cost alternative that conserves the environment. A slag driveway has higher strength and better adhesion, making it more durable than most materials. ... The slag used in the …
Iron tailings are the waste of iron ore after crushing, grinding and beneficiation, which is the largest amount of industrial solid waste stockpiled and generated, hazardous to ecological environment and difficult to use (Meng et al. 2010).According to the statistics, for every 1 ton of iron ore output, there is a total of 1 ton of iron ore tailings.
