Future Resources for Eco-building Materials:I. Metallurgical Slag

In order to make an effectivily recycle use of iron and steel slags that are main industrial wastes generated in Chinese metallurgical industry, the current technologies for reprocessing and recycling these wastes into eco-building materials were reviewed, such as preparing cement-steel slag blended cement with steel slag after metal recovery, using the fine powder of blast furnace slag （BFS） for manufacturing slag cement and high performance concrete. A further research on using these available resources more efficiently were discussed.

Correlation between the Sulphide Capacity Index and the Slag Basicity

The relationships between the sulphide capacity index and the optical basicity, the mole fraction of oxygen ion and the Bell's ratio were investigated based on extensive lab scale equilibrium and industry scale quasi-equilibrium experimental data in the temperature range of 1300 1600℃. Although the sulphide capacity index has good relations with different representations of slag basicity. according to the data obtained under the lab scale equilibrium experimental conditions,the similar relations do not exist according to the data obtained under the industry scale quasi-equilibrium experimental conditions. So it is concluded that the sulphide capacity index, which has been considered as a measure of the slag basicity. can not be used for virtually all oxide slags of interest in the field of ironmaking and steelmaking.

Study on the treatment and the utilization of the Baosteel casting residue and the new grid engineering technology

This study summarizes some serious disharmonious problems that ubiquitously exist in the casting residue recycling of steel plants, such as large land occupation, low operational efficiency, hidden hazards, huge resource and energy consumption, serious environmental pollution and so on. It analyzes the necessity of the on-line innovation and recycling based on the present situation of Baosteel. It states the innovation of the new grid technology and the achievements of its integrated application at Baosteel. It also summarizes and elaborates some green technology features of the treatment and the utilization of the Baosteel casting residue and the new grid technology, such as safety,energy-saving and environmental protection. In addition,it lays out the prospects for the development and application of the technology.

Activity Calculation in Complex Metallurgical Molten Slag Systems Based on Regular Solution Model

The activity of FetO is very important in ironmaking and steelmaking process. In order to predict the activ- ity of Fe, O and optimize the operation conditions in ironmaking and steelmaking process, by application of regular so lution model in molten slag systems, FeO-Fe2 O3-SIO2 ternary system, FeO-Fe2 O3-SiO2-CaO and FeO-Fe2 O3-SiO2-NiO quaternary systems have been studied by the chemical equilibrium between H2/H20 gas mixture and liquid slag con tained in solid iron. The values of interaction energy between cations concerning steelmaking slags have been deter- mined by application of ferric-ferrous iron equilibrium and iron-ferric iron equilibrium. And then the activity of Fe, O can be calculated. The results show that the relative error is 3.9% in FeO-Fe203-SiO2 system and 18% in FeO- Fe203-SiO2 CaO system. The prediction of activities of FetO in the systems are in good agreement with the measure- ments and the regular solution model is valid for predicting the activity of FetO in complex molten slags systems. The activity of Fe, O in FeO-Fe20a-NiO system have not been tested presently, and the calculated result can not be assessed.
