The basics of Iron and Steel slag production - by Lewis Juckes
With world steel production now well over a billion tonnes per year, the slag that arises from some of the processes involved is a major resource. Traditionally it has been used mainly as an aggregate but for some types there are other applications, such as a raw material for cement or as a fertiliser.
Slag, as the term will be used here, is any siliceous melt that arises in significant quantity from the various processes used in the production of iron and steel, and more particularly the solid materials that forms when such melts cool. Slag from the production of ferrochrome is also included here; this material is produced in substantial tonnages and the main use of ferrochrome is in the steel industry.
