Slag, being a material of lower density, flows out over the surface of molten iron in blast furnace and is removed at regular intervals from the furnace. The GBSF temperature at the blast furnace output reaches about 1400 ÷ 1450 °C and it is cooled slowly by means of air or quickly by waterjet. The latter process is called granulation and ...

The cement industry significantly contributes to global CO 2 emissions, with a notable portion attributed to limestone calcination during cement clinker production. To promote carbon-neutral building practices, alternative approaches are being explored to replace raw materials in cement manufacturing and mitigate CO 2 emissions. …
It added that the grinding of granulated blast furnace slag was only being carried out domestically by cement companies. Imports of slag were 2Mt in 2022. This is a decline from a peak of 2.6Mt in 2018 but higher than the period 2000 – 2015. The price of slag, meanwhile, hit a high of US$53/t in 2022.

Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) Our slag cement CEMSlag TM is a hydraulic cement material created when granulated blast-furnace slag from the steel manufacturing process is ground to a fineness suited for concrete production. Environmentally friendly and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Investigations were carried out on the suitability of granulated blast furnace slag as a mold material for either full or partial replacement of existing silica sand in the foundry industry. The sodium silicate-CO2 process was adopted for evaluating the same. A series of sand tests were performed on silica sand and slag individually and in …
The Manufacturing Process Manufacturing Skyway Slag Cement requires two basic processes: granulation and grinding. Blast-furnace slag is produced in a blast furnace during the reduction of iron ore to iron. It consists of non-metallic minerals, which are tapped slag from the blast furnace while molten. By processing blast furnace slag into …
UK: Mineral resources company Francis Flower has announced the acquisition of the Scunthorpe ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) plant from Hanson Cement. The business is capable of producing more than 500,000t/yr of GGBS and supplies customers in the Midlands and north of England. GGBS complements Francis …
Steel slag and GBFS are wastes generated during the steel and iron smelting process, characterized by their considerable production rates and extensive storage capacities. After grinding, they are often used as supplementary cementitious materials. However, the intrinsic slow hydration kinetics of steel slag–GBFS …
Europe: In 2023, 29.7Mt of slag entered the built environment in building materials in the EU and the UK. 20.3Mt (68%) of the slag was granulated blast furnace slag, of which 18.3Mt (90%) was ground for use in cement production, with the other 2Mt (10%) serving as aggregates. The remaining 9.4Mt of the slag was steelwork slag, of which 600,000t …

Within the furnace, different reactions take place, which result in the formation of the primary material (molten pig iron) and the so-called "Blast Furnace Slag" (or "BFS"). The BFS is then tapped from the blast furnace, in a range of approximately 250–300 kg per tonne of pig iron produced.
Today, the main by-product of hot metal production in blast furnaces is granulated blast furnace slag (GBS, see statistics). After grinding to cement fineness (GGBS = ground granulated blast furnace slag) it is used as a main constituent of cement or as a separate concrete addition. Since the discovery of the latent hydraulic properties …
