The heat recovery efficiency increased from ∼76% and ∼78% to ∼81% when the steel slag thickness decreased from 400 and 300 to 200 mm, corresponding to reductions in the steel slag mass from 3.96 and 2.97 to 1.98 t with a blower air volume of 14687 m 3 /h. Therefore, the research results showed that numerical simulation can not …

In particular, the annual amounts of iron slag and steel slag globally generated were estimated to be 390 Mt and 290 Mt, respectively, in 2022. Steel and iron-making slag contain 30–60 wt% of calcium oxide (CaO) and 3–15 wt% of magnesium oxide (MgO), suggesting high CO 2 storage capacities [19].

The steel industry, in accordance with the momentum of greener industry, has welcomed the changes and is actively pursuing that objective. One such activity is the commitment to energy recovery from by-products such as slag since the average energy content of ferrous slags is around 1 to 2 GJ/t slag.The recovered energy could, then, be …

Vanadium could be recovered from the slag by direct leaching, roasting leaching, sub-molten salt technology, and intensified with surface wettability leaching. Sub-molten salt …

Steel slag is a solid waste of the steel industry, produced during steel production. Three types of slag, namely electric arc furnace (EAF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), and Linz-Donawitz processed slag (LD-slag) are the steel industry byproducts. That slag comprises precious elements including zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si), …

High-temperature molten steel slag is a large amount of industrial solid waste containing available heat energy and resources. This paper introduces an efficient and comprehensive utilization process of high-temperature molten steel slag. The waste heat energy in the high-temperature molten steel slag can be fully recovered through …

Slag is a man-made mineral, therefore its use as an aggregate in place of a natural aggregate product avoids the environmental footprint from quarrying. Steel slag services. Slag transportation, crushing and screening; Metal recovery, whereby the recovered steel scrap is screened into different size fractions and returned to the steelmaker.

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. ...
