Abstract. In recent years, the steel industry is in decline. To reduce environmental pollution,
increase corporate profits and promote the sustainable development of China's steel industry,
developing steel metallurgical slag’s comprehensive utilization has a very important significance.
This article describe the present situation and problems in China's steel metallurgy slagcomprehensive utilization, and reach the conclusion that the present method should be improved
and the new method of comprehensive utilization should be further developed.
Introduction
China has the largest steel output in the world. In 2!2 China's crude steel output has reached "!#
million tons. To promote the development of iron and steel enterprises, effectively using a large
number of metallurgical slags in the process of iron and steel smelting and reducing environmental
pollution have more important significance.
The main metallurgy slag consist of blast furnace slag, steel slag, iron o$ide scale, scrap iron, redmud, ash blast furnace and gas dust, etc. The first three is the main waste of iron and steel
metallurgy. This paper focuses on these three solid slags% discuss their present comprehensive
utilization’s e$isting problems.
Blast furnace slag and steel slag utilization
&last furnace slag comes from blast furnace discharge. teel slag comes from steelma(ing
process which is divided into converter slag and electric furnace slag. The main chemical
composition of blast furnace slag and steel slag is i)2, Ca), *l2)+, g) and n), etc. -!2/. The
utilization ways of the two slags are similar.
Building materials applications. *fter water 0uenching cooling, blast furnace slag and steel slagwill form the vitreous mineral crystal. tudy shows that both (inds of slag containing active mineral
such as C2 and C+. &last furnace slag and steel slag, therefore, need to be added e$citing agent to
inspire the potential hydraulic activity. *fter adding silicate cement clin(er, gypsum, and blast
furnace slag can produce blast furnace slag cement% teel slag adding zeolite or fly ash can produce
steel slag fly ash cement and steel slag cement. 1esearch shows that the slag micro powder and steel
slag powder can be e0uivalent to replace all (inds of concrete.

blast furnace slag by high temperature carbonization and low temperature selective chlorination%
8lasma melting reduction produce titanium silicon alloy from titanium blast furnace slag% 1ecover
titanium by ammonium sulfate melting method -2/.
&ecause of contains a lot of steel, steel slag can be recycled. The basic flow of recovery is bro(en
screening magnetic separation. To achieve high recovery rate of steel slag, plant often use
multiple stage crushing process. Through magnetic separation, slag and steel’s iron grade average in
more than 995.
Used for flux in the iron making. teel slag mainly used for sintering flu$ and the flu$ of
ironma(ing in the iron ma(ing.
intered flu$ was mostly limestone, when Ca), g) and iron o$ide in converter steel slag
content in 7:95 -+/. Therefore, steel slag, after the fine grinding, can replace part of limestone as
the sintering burden. ;oining steel slag can not only improve the permeability of sinter bed, ma(e
Ca) easily react with iron ores, increase the li0uid phase in sintering process and increase the sinter
drum strength% but also reduce the inta(e of limestone, reduce heat absorption of CaC)+
decomposition, improve sintering temperature relatively.teel slag can be added to the blast furnace as ironma(ing flu$. <ithout carbonate decomposition,
Ca) and g) in steel slag can have the effect of the limestone flu$ in ironma(ing process. It can
reduce the amount of limestone and dolomite, reduce the consumption of co(e, and recycle iron
components of steel slag.
Agricultural production applications. Containing in &last furnace slag and steel slag, Ca, 8, i,
g and other elements, which is crops need, can be used for ma(ing silicon fertilizer,
calciummagnesia phosphate fertilizer and other fertilizers. ilicon is needed by rice. *nd silicon
fertilizer made of two (inds of slag contained a lot of citrate acid soluble silicon which can easily be
absorbed by rice. This silicon can ma(e up for the inade0uacy of natural silicon in soil. *fter
absorbing silicon, rice can deposit this silicon on the leaf epidermis cells, inhibit plant transpiration,
raise photosynthetic rate. o applying blast furnace slag and steel slag silicon fertilizer into the rice
paddies can improve rice growth and increase yield.
&last furnace slag and steel slag contents more al(aline compound such as Ca) and g). o it
can be applied into the acidic soil to use as acidic soil conditioner.
Used for treatment of wastewater and waste gas. <ith high basicity, porous, large surface and
density, steel slag=s price is low. o it can be used in the processing of industrial waste water and
waste gas.
To purify waste water, steel slag is mainly used its good filtration and adsorption properties.
tudy shows that the surface of the steel slag with negative charge, can adsorption of cationic. teelslag has better removal effection to some anionic compounds such as Congo red -7/.
teel slag can be used to handle acid gases by made into slurry. *l(aline substances which is
contained steel slag react with )2 on the absorption of acid gases. tudies have shown that in
serum, )2 and >2) react and generates >)+. >)+
decomposed into )+2 and >?. Iron and
manganese o$ide in serum can let )+2 o$idize to )7
2, and desulphurize waste gas. Ca) and i)2
in steel slag will @oin hydration reaction at the same time% accelerate the process of absorption of
)2.
Iron oxide scale utilization
Auring hot rolling or forging, steel can react with o$ygen in the air and produce large amounts of
iron o$ide scales. 4e content is high Bup to :D5E in o$ide iron scale. Iron o$ide scales can be
used in metallurgy, chemical industry and the preparation of the use of permanent magnets, etc.

Used as sintering and antioxidant. &ecause the iron content is high, iron o$ide scales is often used
as a raw material to return to the sintering, ironma(ing and steelma(ing process.
4e) in the iron o$ide scales is as good as sintering material reducing agent. o the scales can be
added in sintering material to ma(e 4e) turn to 4e2)+ to improve the level of sintering temperature.
o the scales can improve the drum inde$ and the grade of sinter. any sintering plant use the
scales into the sintering process. &ut the iron o$ide oil content is higher. Aeoiling must be carried
out before use.
3$cept for sintering, iron o$ide can also be mi$ed with other ferrous materials after grinding to
produce metallized pellets and cold consolidation pellets. *fter balling, pellets turn to pelletizing
production in annular furnace% after bri0uetting and calcining in low temperature, pressure ball can
be directly into the ironma(ing.
cales may also used as o$idant assisted in electric furnace steelma(ing or converter steelma(ing
slag agent after dehydration. In addition, iron o$ide can produce silicon alloy, steelma(ing
deo$idizing agent and additives.
The preparation of high purity ferric oxide. 4errite is used as a basis to create the magnetic fieldin the electronics industry. 4e2)+ content is higher, so scales can be used in the preparation of
permanent magnetic ferrite.
Iron o$ide scales’ processing methods are screeningdry magnetic separation and screeningfine
grindingo$idation. creeningdry magnetic separation method need removing oil and drying scales
first, screening, and selecting with a belt magnetic separator. 8roduct is used as permanent magnet
ferrite underburnt clin(er. creeningfine grindingo$idation method is to put the scales sieving
after fine grinding to 9 microns below. Then put the powder into the o$idative (iln. 4e +)7 is
o$idated 4e2)+. 8roduct is used as highgrade permanent magnetic ferrite materials.
Iron o$ide scales is suitable in the chemical industry as a raw material to produce iron o$ide red.
*t present, most iron o$ide red was produced by li0uid phase precipitation method.
iscussions of steel metallurgical slag utilization existing problems
Blast furnace slag and steel slag. <ith the development of construction industry and the huge
demand of high strength cement and high strength concrete, steel slag cement with relatively poor
mechanical properties can't meet the needs of a large number of buildings. Ary granulating
technology -9/ will granulate blast furnace slag to granulating slag. &y forced cooling and steam
heat e$change, the process output low temperature furnace slag and middle temperature steam. This
method, recycling heat and simultaneous produce cement, succeed in high efficient utilization of
waste residue, should get further development.
teel slag can be used to instead of limestone in sintered material, but it containing 8, two (indsof harmful elements. *fter adding steel slag in the sinter, these two elements will be into the closed
cycle of smelting, and ma(e pig iron brittle. If 8 and can be removed before sintering, it can
reduce the enrichment of harmful elements in smelting cycle and improve the 0uality of sinter.
Iron oxide scales. intering process which put iron o$ide scales as sinter feed ingredients are
comple$ and e$pensive. Finc o$ide contained in scales may grow nodules in blast furnace and
affect the life of blast furnace. <hen it was added in sintering material, chlorine can react with zinc
o$ide during sintering and generate volatile FnCl2. 4or sinter, half of zinc can be removed in this
reaction.
Iron o$ide scales scales have some impurities% bring some difficulties for the production of high
purity ferric o$ide. &y combining magnetic separation method and o$idation method, the purity of
the product could be further improved.
