Abstract

In this paper there are presented the results of the characterization and thermal analysis of the slag from the magnesium plant ‘Bela Stena’, Serbia.

The results of X-ray fluorescence analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (LOM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for chemical and mineralogical analysis of the solidified slag samples. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo-gravimetric (TG) analysis and thermal microscopy results were used for determination of characteristic phase transformations. The solidified slag shows dicalcium silicate based structure. Magnesium is mostly present in the form of the following minerals: periclase, merwinite and melilite.
