In this work, they were produced and characterized cementing composites made with blast furnace slag replacement, for their use in the construction of oil wells. To this, slurries were prepared with a replacement of 20 and 30% slag, as well as a slurry with 100 % slag and a slurry with 100% H-cement were prepared. Starting materials were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transformed Infra Red. Slurries also were activated with sodium silicate in order to study theirs hydration kinetics, driving by isothermal calorimetry. These studies were complemented by the preparation of specimens of 4 X 4 X 16 cm to which they determine its compressive and bending strength during 2 and 28 days of curing. From the results it can be concluded that it was obtained a product that can be effectively used in the construction of oil wells.

Blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, is emerging as a potential raw material to synthesize hydroxyapatite and zeolite. In this study, the effects of temperature on the hydrothermal synthesis of hydroxyapatite-zeolite from blast furnace slag were investigated. Specimens were synthesized at different temperatures (room temperature, 50, 90, 120, or 150 °C). The synthesized specimens were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), BET/BJH, and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive using X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX). It was found that the hydroxyapatite phase was synthesized at all the reaction temperatures, while faujasite type zeolite appeared in the specimens synthesized at 90 and 120 °C. Moreover, faujasite was replaced by hydroxysodalite in the specimens synthesized at 150 °C. Additionally, the crystals of the hydroxyapatite tended to become larger and total crystallinity increased as the reaction temperature increased.

Abstract. Effect of oxidation on phase transformation in Ti-bearing blast furnace slag is studied. The slag is analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), EDX and metallographic microscope. The experiment results indelicate that the phase composition of the oxidized slag is simpler which are only rutile and glass phase. The titanaugite, Ti-rich diopside and perovskite phase are vanished and most of the Ti components were enriched in the rutile phase.

Granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) is a by-product of manufacturing iron. Samples of GBFS with different ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 were prepared by simulating the actual process of GBFS in laboratory. This study investigated the influence of SiO2/Al2O3 content on structure and hydration activity of GBFS which were characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared radiation (IR) and mechanical testing. It is found that the vitreous content of each sample is above 97% and the hydration activity indexes of 7d and 28d of samples significantly decrease with the increase of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. The IR characteristic absorption spectrum shows that the silicates mainly exist in [SiO4]-tetrahedra and the aluminum atoms are in different coordination states and the bonding strengths rise with the increase of SiO2/Al2O3 ratio.

Deformations of alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) with high MgO and Al2O3 content, subjected to variable curing temperature were studied. Sodium silicate and sodium carbonate were used as alkali activators. The obtained results showed development of deformations consisting of both shrinkage and expansion. Shrinkage appeared not to be affected by the activator type, while the expansion developed after the cooling down phase in stabilized isothermal conditions and did not stop within the duration of the tests. X-ray diffraction analysis performed shortly after the cooling down phase indicated the formation of crystalline hydrotalcite, which was associated with the observed expansion. A mixture with a higher amount of sodium silicate showed less expansion, likely due to the accelerated hydration and geopolymerization leading to the increased stiffness of the binder matrix.

The mineral composition of the solidified blast furnace slag and the occurrence of special components CaF2, K2O, Na2O, RexOy and ThO2 were researched by optical microscope analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum analysis. The results showed that the major minerals in solidified furnace slag are akermanite and gehlenite; the special component CaF2 is not hosted in the cuspidine (3CaO•2SiO2•CaF2), but in the magnesium and aluminum silicate mineral; the special components K2O,Na2O is hosted in akermanite, magnesium and aluminum silicate mineral and perovskite; the element thorium cannot form an independent mineral, but coexist with the rare earth element Ce in the perovskite. The results will lay a foundation for further study on the influence of these special components on the crystallization behavior of glass-ceramics.

The characteristic of Angang blast furnace slag was studied by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, DSC, X-ray diffraction and SEM. SiO2-Al2O3-CaO system glass-ceramics have been obtained successfully from slag with other additives. The properties of slag-based glass-ceramics were analyzed in this paper. It has been found that nucleation temperature is in the range of 600~700 °C, and crystallization temperature is in the range of 850~950 °C. The crystals phase is 2 CaO⋅ Al2O3⋅ SiO2. The chemical and mechanical properties of slag-based glass-ceramics are superior to the properties of clay brick.

ABSTRACTThe constant search for the improvement of the performance of materials of industrial application, evaluated under aspects of weight reduction, greater resistance, greater resistance to wear and better thermal stability, among others, associated with the search for the development of ecologically viable products, that convert the context of environmental degradation in preservation and sustainability, reflects the need to conduct research that results in new materials. The objective of this work is to obtain composites of the AA6061 aluminum alloy reinforced with different contents of coke coal blast-furnace slag by powder metallurgy. The processing of these materials was done by sieving, mixing and compacting powders of reinforced aluminum alloy with 5, 10 and 15% of blast-furnace slag. The cold uniaxial compaction was realized at a pressure of 500MPa. The obtained materials were sintered at 580°C for 3h under inert atmosphere. Unreinforced aluminum alloy samples were also produced. The characterization of the materials was realized by density and hardness measurements and three-point bending tests. The analysis of its microstructure was realized by scanning electron microscopy. As results, the composites presented a homogeneous distribution of the reinforcing particles and also a progressive improvement of the hardness and the bending strength with the increase of the slag content, producing an increase of 79% in hardness and 128% in flexural strength, when compared to the material without reinforcement obtained by the same process. Such results give the coke coal blast-furnace slag a new possibility of exploitation in the metal-mechanical sector, besides contributing with the environmental issue.

Effective recovery of titanium resources from titanium-bearing blast furnace slag had always been a difficult problem. In the present study, Ti5Si3 was synthesized via silicothermic reduction of titanium-bearing blast furnace slag. The effects of reduction temperature and reaction time on the formation of Ti5Si3 were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that Ti5Si3 was the only silicide in the finally obtained products. Ti5Si3 will gradually sinter to form a porous skeleton, and a small amount of slag will be trapped in the porous skeleton of Ti5Si3. It provided a feasible route for the treatment of titanium-bearing blast furnace slag and the recovery of titanium resources. It was also found that the longer the reaction time and the higher the reaction temperature (1823 K), the less the slag trapped in the alloy will be.
