Using the industrial limestone, fly ash and pure chemical reagents as raw materials, the blast furnace slag was prepared in the simulation condition of the actual slag-making process. Using uniform design method, the influence of blast furnace slag composition factors such as quaternary alkalinity, ratio of CaO/MgO and ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 on the glass content of blast furnace slag were studied in the present in investigation, the relationship between glass content and the various factors has been obtained through regression analysis, and the main influence factors and the optimum blast furnace slag compositions been found out. The results showed that, the impact of various factors on the glass content of granulated blast furnace slag was quaternary alkalinity > ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 > ratio of CaO/MgO. According to the significance test of the regression equation and the verification experiment, it was concluded that the optimum compositions of granulated blast furnace slag were: the quaternary alkalinity was 0.85, the ratios of CaO/MgO and SiO2/Al2O3 were 11.5 and 6.5 respectively, and in this condition, the glass content of granulated blast furnace slag reached to 98.47%.

The paper presents a laboratory study of concrete mixes based on the alkali-activation of an industrial by-product, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). A number of factors potentially affecting the resulting concrete quality in terms of workability and strengths were investigated (namely activator type, molarity, curing conditions and times). The statistical significance of the effect of these factors was supported by ANOVA. Higher workability and strengths (with lower activator concentrations) were obtained for KOH containing mixes. Curing at constant moisture and ambient temperature was successful for most alkaline activators and mixes, which showed good concrete strengths at all curing times; when Na2SiO3 was used in addition to NaOH or KOH activators of moderate to high molarity, strengths exceeded those of Ordinary Portland Cement (CEM-I) concrete of a similar water/cement ratio.
