Effect of Chemical Composition on the Properties of Reconstructed Steel Slag

Abstract:

The steel slag is not widely or extensively used because of its poor volume stability and low cementitious activity. In this paper, the solid waste fly ash, quicklime and slag discharged from iron and steel enterprises are used as conditioning components in the experiment. In order to improve the cementitious activity and volume stability of steel slag, the high temperature reconstruction experiment of steel slag was completed. The effects of C/S (2.50~3.14), S/A (4.5~17. 81) on the cementitious activity and volume stability of reconstructed steel slag were investigated by means of the tests of compressive strength, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, lithofacies test, stability test and so on. The results showed that the cementitious activity and volume stability of the reconstructed steel slag were improved in the higher C/S or lower S/A. The cementitious activity and volume stability of the reconstructed steel slag were improved with the increase of CaF₂ content. By analyzing the cementitious activity and volume stability of the reconstructed steel slag, the optimum technological parameters are obtained as follows: C/S is 2.70 , S/A is 5.78, the content of CaF₂ is 4%.
