COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
Iron and steel (“Iron/steel”) slag is a by-product of manufacturing iron/steel products. Almost all iron/steel slag generated in the course of iron/steel manufacture is effectively used in multiple ways, such as a raw material for cement, a road base course material, a civil engineering work, and a raw material for fertilizer. However, the supply–demand structure in the iron/steel slag market has been rapidly changing in recent years reflecting not only the sluggish demand for domestic public works and construction projects but also social changes.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of processing and reusing technologies for steelmaking slag. It covers the origin, properties and types of steel slag; the steel making slag processing technology; the cooling steel making slag; the crushing, magnetic separation and classification; and the aging treatment.
Further, the course will also discuss the road base course material, ground improvement materials and fertilizer soil improvement; the steel slag hydrated matrix, seeweed beds and reusing dredged soils; the tsunami deposits processing and the slag used as metallurgy raw materials returning to manufacturing; and the slag baking cooked materials in cement raw mixture including the slag powder and steel slag marble.
