Synthetic Slag Powder

Product Description

Synthetic slag is a synthetic aggregate, or artificial aggregate, that's made by changing the physical and chemical properties of a parent material. It has many uses, including:

• Secondary steelmaking

  Synthetic slag is a liquid that floats on top of liquid steel in a ladle, absorbing impurities like sulfur and non-metallic inclusions. It's basic in nature, has a high sulfide capacity, and is fluid to help reactions happen faster.

• Concrete

  Slag, also known as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), can replace some of the Portland cement in concrete, making it more economical and higher quality. It can also help reduce the temperature rise in large concrete sections.

• Binders

  Slag can be used as a binder for stabilization and solidification, along with other binders like Portland cement, lime, microsilica, and magnesium oxide.

• Steel refining

  Synthetic slag can help refine steel, making it cleaner and desulfurizing it.

• Construction materials

  GGBFS can be used as cement and concrete in construction materials.

• Recycled materials

  Slag is one of many industrial wastes that can be recycled into concrete, along with fly ash, silica fume, rubber tires, plastic, and stone waste.

• Steel plants

  Steel slag can be reused as a raw material in steel plants.

• Bricks

  Steelmaking slag can be used to make bricks that are resistant to acids and heat.
