About EAF Slag. EAF slag is a rock-like material generated during the steel-making process. Approximately 130 facilities across the United States generate EAF slag. EAF slag is used as an alternative to rock fragments, both in encapsulated uses (e.g., contained in concrete) and unencapsulated uses (e.g., loose ground cover material).Web

Steelmaking slag volumes have been reduced on commercial scale from about 140 kg t −1 steel to 60 kg t −1 steel. Moreover, model predictions have shown that in principle, all slag can be recycled and the phosphorous extracted to produce fertiliser. This development is of particular significance since the supply of low-phosphorous iron ores ...Web

Iron and steel slags are coproducts of iron and steel manufacturing. In the production of iron, the blast furnace is charged with iron ore, fluxing agents, usually limestone and dolomite, and coke as fuel and the reducing agent. The iron ore is a mixture of iron oxides, silica, and alumina. From this and the added fluxing agents molten slag and ...Web

The rapid cooling of molten slag by large quantities of water produces sand-like granule aggregate.
