Sidenor launches Termoslag to reduce steel’s slag content

21 May 2020

Spain: Sidenor has launched Termoslag, a software for the control of slag transit during liquid steel dumping. It aims to reduce steel’s slag content by 10%, thereby reducing raw materials and energy consumption in the steel production process and increasing slag output for circular economic uses such as cement production. Sidenor said, “We are committed to eco-innovation and the circular economy.”

Boral Australia launches slag-asphalt product

18 May 2020

Australia: Boral Australia has launched Innovo, an asphalt system product that uses steel slag as a raw material amongst other recyclables. Recycled materials that can be used in the mix include steel slag, recycled plastics, tyres, recycled crushed glass, recycled asphalt pavement and printer toner. The product has been used in various projects in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.

Taiheiyo Cement, JFE Steel and the Global Institute for Environmental Technology researching producing carbonates from steel slag

15 May 2020

Japan: Taiheiyo Cement, JFE Steel and the Global Institute for Environmental Technology are working together to develop a carbon capture and storage system. The system will use wet alkaline earth metals extracted from steel slag to produce carbonates from exhaust gases at cement and steel plants. The partners are investigating the possibility of using these carbonates, specifically calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, as additives in cement production at Taiheiyo Cement’s plants. Taiheiyo Cement president Masafumi Shigehara said, “With the effects of climate change becoming apparent both in Japan and overseas, the importance of global warming counter-measures is increasing.”

Harsco invests in Carbicrete

13 December 2019

Canada/US: Harsco’s Environmental division has invested US$2.3m in Carbicrete, a Canadian technology company developing concrete products made with steel slag for the construction industry. The investment will give Harsco Environmental a Board seat in Carbicrete and has been made in conjunction with a US$1.6m grant from the Government of Canada’s Sustainability Development Technology Canada Foundation and applications to further government grant programs. Harsco’s investment will aid the development of the technology through a demonstration program with support from a commercial concrete block manufacturer as part of a development consortium.

“This investment in innovation is aligned with Harsco’s on-going expansion into environmentally-focused products and services, and we are proud to support the development of this exciting technology,” said Harsco Environmental chief operating officer Russ Mitchell.

Carbicrete is developing a technology that allows the production of concrete without using cement by using steel slag instead. The concrete mix is poured into molds, like conventional concrete, and is then cured using CO2. During curing, the gas becomes a solid, binding together the slag granules, and giving the concrete its strength. Carbicrete says the process can be implemented in any precast concrete manufacturing plant. It also says that the technology is ‘carbon negative’ because more CO2 is consumed than emitted during the process.

Chinese ministry raps producer for dumping steel slag

27 November 2018

China: The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has accused the Gaoyi Iron and Steel Company in Yuncheng in Shanxi province of illegally and dumping steel slag over a 10 year period. The ministry has named the steel producer as part of an initiative to name and shame industrial polluters, according to Reuters. The steel producer was ordered in 2013 to build a slag treatment yard but it failed to do so. So far in 2018 it has produced 0.3Mt of steel slag. Most of this has been dumped on nearby farmland.

Loesche continues research into steel slag following legal action

25 June 2018

Germany: Loesche says it is continuing its research and development of a process to create a steel slag suitable for cement production following a legal dispute.

The engineering company has worked with the FA Finger-Institut für Baustoffkunde (FIB) at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar on the thermally reductive modification of steel slags for recycling iron and manufacturing ‘steelworks clinker.’ It has developed two procedures for thermally reductive conditioning of BOF (Basic Oxygen Furnace) slag that have been registered for a patent, which largely differ in the respective cooling process for the remaining molten metal. The individual stages of the procedure have already been tried and tested on an industrial scale. Loesche’s partner for the entire procedure is Primetals Technologies based in Linz, Austria, which has industrial-scale plants for reduction and fast cooling based on patented procedures in its product range. The remaining iron (approximately 8 - 10%) that is still in the ‘steelwork clinker’ can then be separated in a Loesche mill. The separation procedure for this, which has also been patented by Loesche, has been in operation for approximately six years to recycle stainless steel from stainless steel slags in a recycling plant in Belgium.

However, following smelting trials conducted with the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in 2011, Loesche faced a lawsuit regarding the patents for its procedures. The legal uncertainty that this created led to the suspension of further development and implementation of the two procedures for more than three years. The legal dispute was resolved in December 2017. The second conditioning procedure – the fast cooling – was assigned as the sole property of Loesche. A third of the ownership of the first conditioning procedure - slow cooling – was conceded to the BAM, represented by the German government.

Loesche now plans to implement the second procedure into industrial practice.

Japanese steel slag production falls in 2017 financial year

14 June 2018

Japan: Steel slag production fell by 2.1% year-on-year to 36.7Mt in the financial year that ended in March 2018, according to Japan Metal Daily. This was attributed to increasing levels of slag recycling rates with nearly all of the blast furnace slag being reused.

China to ban imports of steel slag

19 April 2018

China: The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has banned imports of steel slag from the end of 2018. It is part of 16 scrap metal and chemical waste products, according to Reuters. A further 16 items will be banned by the end of 2019. The government’s crackdown on waste imports is part of a ‘war on pollution.’

Indian government looks at steel slag usage in agriculture

04 April 2018

India: The Ministry of Steel has asked that the Ministry of Agriculture examine using slag from steel and iron production as a fertilizer. The government is particularly interested in using slag in areas with acidic soils, mostly in the eastern part of the country where productivity is lower, according to the Financial Express newspaper. 49M hectares of the country’s arable land has acidic soils from a total of 142M hectares total land that can be farmed.

Waste classification removed for slag usage in Pennsylvania

29 January 2018

US: Legislation removing the ‘waste’ classification of steel slag in Pennsylvania has received final approval in Pennsylvania. The bill will now been sent to the state governor for enactment, according to the New Castle News newspaper. Previously, mills and slag processors had to obtain special classification from the state Department of Environmental Protection to sell the product.
