Slag is the by-product of iron- and steelmaking processes. Normally, around half to one tonne of slag would be generated for yielding one tonne of rolled iron or steel (Lobato et al. 2015).It was reported that the world steel production was 1.9 billion tonnes in 2016, which suggested that at least around 1 billion tonnes of slag is produced …

Highlights An NH 4-salt-based method utilizes CO 2 and steelmaking slags to produce pure CaCO 3. It was determined if its economic potential warrants moving forward. Despite small solvent losses, the method was found to have economical potential. The method has significant CO 2 emissions reduction potential. Scaling up the reactor …

Steel slag is the by-product during the separation of molten steel from impurities in the steel-making furnace. The basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag, electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, and ladle furnace (LF) slag are three major types of SS produced in the steelmaking processes.As drawn in Fig. 2, BOF slag and EAF slag are both produced …

ABSTRACTCarbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is one of the most prominent emerging technologies for mitigating global climate change. In this study, a comparative evaluation for CO2 fixation by carbonation of steelmaking slag was performed by life cycle assessment (LCA) using Umberto 5.5.4 software, with the Swiss Eco …

Steelmaking is the process of producing steel from iron ore or steel scrap. In 2022, approximately 75 percent of the steel produced in the United States was from the electric arc furnace (EAF) process, in which an electric current is used to produce an arc that melts scrap steel or other iron-containing materials. Slag is the liquid oxide that …

1. Introduction. Steel slag is the main solid waste generated in the steel-making process, accounting for 15 to 20% of crude steel output [1].China's crude steel output in 2021 was 1.035 billion tons [2], more than half of the global crude steel output (1.9505 billion tons) [3], and the steel slag output exceeded 120 million tons.In contrast, …

Downloadable (with restrictions)! One of the options that can contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for climate change mitigation is the so-called CO2 sequestration by mineral carbonation, or CO2 mineral sequestration. Steel manufacturing could benefit from this option by utilizing its own by-products, i.e. steelmaking slags to combine with …

With the increase in iron/steel production, the higher volume of by-products (slag) generated necessitates its efficient recycling. Because the Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag is rich in silicon (Si) and ...
