Production and Investigation of a Finely Dispersed Fraction of Blast-Furnace Granulated Slag for Use as Components of Clinker-Free Binders

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

This article presents the development of a method for producing a finely dispersed fraction of ground blast-furnace granulated slag. The resulting material with an alkaline additive can serve as an alternative to analogous finely dispersed mineral binders such as microcement. A comprehensive study was conducted on granulated slags from two metallurgical plants. The physical and chemical characteristics of the materials were determined. Finally, we demonstrated the possibility of producing a fraction of ground granular slag with a particle size of no more than 16 microns using vortex electromagnetic homogenization and subsequent air classification.
