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 …
The smelting process of blast furnace is carried out in the shaft furnace of a closed countercurrent reactor and heat exchanger. The complex physical changes and chemical reactions are completed in the process of the countercurrent movement of the charge and gas in which the raw materials containing iron oxide (sinter, pellets, etc.), …
Many restrictions exist, however, on the utilization of steel slag. When steel slag is used internally, in steel plants, the most obvious problem is that of the enrichment of P and S (Drissen et al., 2009).The Bhilai Steel Plant in India was shut down because of its high S and P content (Das et al., 2007).The amounts of free lime and free MgO are …
