Future resources for eco-building materials: I. Metallurgical slag

Abstract

In order to make an effectivily recycle use of iron and steel slags that are main industrial wastes generated in Chinese metallurgical industry, the current technologies for reprocessing and recycling these wastes into eco-building materials were reviewed, such as preparing cement-steel slag blended cement with steel slag after metal recovery, using the fine powder of blast furnace slag (BFS) for manufacturing slag cement and high performance concrete. A further research on using these available resources more efficiently were discussed.

Keywords
