2.1 Blast Furnace Slag (BFS): Physico-chemical Properties. Blast furnace slag (BFS) is a coproduct of the pig iron production and has been widely used in various applications for many decades. Two types of BFS are generated from steel plants: (1) air-cooled BFS and (2) granulated (crystallized) BFS.
Here, we develop an electrorefining process that directly decarburizes molten iron by imposing an electromotive force between it and a slag electrolyte. Upon anodic polarization, oxide anions from ...
The production of raw titanium metal relies on natural and man-made feed materials, including natural rutile, titanium dioxide slags of different grades ("chloride slag," UGS, and "sulfate slag"), and synthetic rutile. Natural rutile was the feedstock of choice at the early years of the Kroll process, but nowadays it comes in limited ...
The iron-making and steel-making industries produce four types of slags, named after the processes from which they are produced (Fig. 2): Blast Furnace Slag (BFS), Basic-Oxygen Furnace Slag (BOFS), Electric-Arc Furnace Slag (EAFS), and Ladle Furnace Slag (LFS), and the type of slag produced is dependent on the desired steel …
byproduct of molten iron processing and originates from the gangue in the mineral raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and limestone as well as those in the flux used at steel refining processes to remove Si, P, S, and other impurities. The iron and steel slag that is generated can be broadly categorized into blast furnace and steel making slag.
If oils and greases can be removed (and zinc where appropriate) then the slag could be used as a source of iron ore replacement, with the advantages of lowering …
CSS is mainly composed of ore, flux and slag making composition, which is the melt including various oxides (Fe 2 O 3, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, MgO, CaO, etc.). In the smelting process, the composition of smelting slag will change greatly under different influencing factors (copper ore raw materials, flux, smelting mode, etc.).
To remove the metallic iron the slag is crushed to facilitate separation, using a rotating magnetic drum process (Alanyali et al., 2006; Ma and Houser, 2014 Matino et al., 2017; Bölükbaşı and Tufan, 2014). Crushing the slag to a smaller particle size as well as increasing the distance between the rotating drum and the blade.
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, …
For instance, Peng and others [101] utilized ion exchange to separate Mo(VI) and Fe(III) from the acidic leachate of carbonaceous nickel-molybdenum ore, discovering that when the pH was increased from 2.25 to 4.01, the removal rate of iron improved …

The obtaining clinker from ladle slag is a more complex technological task than obtaining pig iron from an electric furnace. Therefore, the researchers first calculated the conditions necessary ...
Substantial quantities of openly dumped slag contribute to the absence of recovery and utilization of valuable metals as well as potential environmental pollution to water and soil. Owing to the excessively high arsenic content present in iron extracted from copper smelting slag, we propose a new arsenic removal process in this paper. The …
Oct 9, 2022. #19. Iron (without roasting) or iron oxide (after roasting) removal is not required in most cases of pyrite processing. The best way is to use direct smelting of pyrite concentrate with Na 2 CO 3 and lead as a collector (in this case you don't need roasting at all - all iron will form iron-sodium slag).
Slag-forming components are divided into basic oxides (Ca, Mg) and acidic (Si, Al). Higher ratios of basic to acidic oxides are preferred since this reduces raw fluxing material. …
The slag generated from iron- and steelmaking industry is characterized with high content of lime, magnesia, silicates, and iron (Table 1). Iron and lime are two essential substances in iron- and steelmaking process as iron is the raw material of iron- and steelmaking and lime is added for slag formation (Kalyoncu 2000).
This study addresses the issue of eliminating Congo red dye from aqueous solutions through green pyrolysis of hybrid iron oxides/graphene-coated iron slag. A novel adsorbent was developed, utilizing cost-effective date fruit-derived graphite and iron slag byproducts. The resulting macroporous structures resemble two-dimensional graphene …
1. Introduction. The main method to obtain copper matte, a combination of copper sulfide and iron sulfide, is to treat the concentrated copper ores with a pyrometallurgical process, where the waste copper slag produced during the process is usually discharged after the recovery process (Guo et al., 2019; Li et al., 2021).Such a …
Traditionally, iron ore has been reduced with coke in a blast furnace and the hot metal product of the blast furnace containing carbon, manganese, silicon, sulphur and phosphorous, was subsequently refined in a steelmaking furnace. During ironmaking as well as during steelmaking, significant amounts of slag are produced.

Worldwide iron slag production in 2014 was estimated on the order of 310370 Mt, while steel slag was about 170250 Mt [7]. In the USA, the. – –. steel produced via either the integrated manufacturing process (e.g., BOF) or the EAF process is approximately 37 and 63% of total steel production, respectively [7].
Grinding is usually used to increase the specific surface area of steel slag to improve its activity. However, due to the large amount of hard-to-grind minerals in steel slag, a large amount of energy is wasted in the grinding process. Therefore, the current investigation aims to remove the hard-to-grind minerals in steel slag as much as …
Recycling iron and lime from the slag and adding them back to iron- and steelmaking process would reduce the cost for making iron and steel, and the cost for …

1 Answer. The most basic process is melting. From the earliest times of metal-working the melting of iron ore was used to 'float' the impurities to the surface, as slag. Even before the use of melting furnaces, the process of cyclic heating and working of the metal drove out many impurities. As furnace technology and control became better ...
