The recycling and reuse of steelmaking slags A review
#0183;#32;Slag is a mainly nonmetallic byproduct that is made up of silicates, alumina silicates, calcium aluminum silicates, and iron oxides (Joulazadeh and Joulazadeh, 2010). During the BOS process a proportion of the molten iron cannot be recovered so elemental iron is often observed in the slag (Yildirim and Prezzi, 2011).
