Studies on Blast Furnace Slag Flow Characteristics

Abstract

The project aim set measurement of flow characteristics of blast furnace slag. The industrial slag (actual slag from different blast furnace), synthetic slag prepared in the laboratory for pure oxides as obtained from market and iron bearing materials with various extents of reduction
resembling that expected to be in the cohesive zone as per literature are chosen for measurement while the final slag obtained from the industry reveals shortness of the slag. At c/s ratio of 1.04 to 1.09 and 10.4 to 11.01 MgO % the synthetic slag doesn’t shown a clear trained, the iron
bearing materials reveals variation of the characteristics temperature with variation in the extend of the reduction, SEM micrograph and XRD plots of the iron bearing material with different extended of reduction reveal compositional changes associated with structural changes.
