Non-ferrous metallurgy slags are currently do not reach their full valorization potential. On a
global scale, these slags are landfilled or used in low-value applications. Upcycling these …

Belonging to the family of alternative cementitious materials, inorganic polymers are rising in
importance because of the drive to decrease CO2 emissions of concrete production. A …

Aiming to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions associated with cement production,
alternative binders such as inorganic polymers currently receive substantial attention and …

This paper reviews the potential use of silico-manganese slag (SiMnS) as binder and
aggregate in Portland cement and geopolymer concrete. SiMnS is a byproduct of alloy steel …

Slags from non-ferrous metallurgy are Fe rich, with Si as a minor constituent, and with low
levels of Al. Due to variations in the slag cooling practice, they can exist as semi-amorphous …

Non-ferrous metallurgy slags, when highly amorphous, have been shown to behave as
supplementary cementitious materials, albeit typically with low reactivity. Due to this feature …

BOF slags are by-products of steel conversion. They are a valuable mineral resource for the
construction but have chemical properties that directly control their stability or any hydraulic …

Steel slag is a byproduct generated by the steel manufacturing industry. It poses
environmental contamination and health hazards without effective treatment. Upcycling steel …

Plasma processing of materials is a technology now also employed in the management of
municipal solid wastes, often mixed with industrial residues. The specifics depend per case …

Large volumes of Fe-silicate glasses—slags—are produced as residues of metal production
and waste treatment processes. It would be interesting if these materials could become an …
