Samples of ASTM A-706 structural steel embedded in different concretes obtained from mixtures of alkali-activated steel slag and fly ash were exposed to accelerated carbonation under controlled conditions (4% CO2, 65% RH ...

Steel slag is a powdery industrial residue that has CaO, MgO and SiO2 in its composition, which enables its use in agriculture for soil acidity correction. Most studies involving this residue have focused on understanding ...

The corrosion resistance of resin bonded alumina/magnesia/graphite refractories containing different kinds of aggregates were investigated when submitted to the action of slags of several CaO/SiO2 ratios. The laboratory ...

Steel slag is a byproduct of steel manufacturing which raises an important environmental concern due to the high volume of generation and, specially, its basicity. The aim of this work was to determine its recycling potential ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical changes along the soil profile, development and yield of the soybean crop (Glycine Max L. Merr) as a function of the superficial application of silicates in soil ...

This study aimed to assess the impacts of composted sewage sludge and steel mill slag on urban soil fertility and tree growth. The research was conducted in an urban area (Botucatu, State of São Paulo, Brazil) characterised ...

Limestone is the most commonly used acidity-correction agent in tropical soils. However, steel slag can be an alternative for turfgrass production areas because it contains silicon, which can increase turfgrass tolerance ...

Oriented Grain Steel production has been a challenge in Melt Shops due to narrow chemical composition control that affects the magnetic properties with impact on the electrical machines efficiency. This work has great ...
