To explain the relationship between the hydration activity of high-titanium slag and its microstructure, the hydration activity of high-titanium slag was determined, then the mineral phase and microstructure characteristics of high-titanium slag glass phase and blast furnace slag were investigated using a series of analytical methods, which contain X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The results showed that in slow-cooled high-titanium slag, the hydration inert mineral content was about 98%, and the glass phase content was less than 2%, hence, the hydration activity of slow-cooled high titanium slag accounted for less than 25% of that of the blast furnace slag. The content of the glass phase in water-quenched high-titanium slag was 98%, but the microstructure of the glass phase was very different from that of the blast furnace slag. The glass phase of high-titanium slag has stable forms, which are TiO44− monomers, chain or sheet units O–Ti–O, and a small amount of 6-coordination Ti4+. The Ti makes the SiO4 tetrahedron in a glass phase network not only a monosilicate, but more stable forms of disilicates and chain middle groups also appeared. The relative bridge oxygen number increased to 0.2, hence, the hydration activity of water-quenched high-titanium slag took up less than 37% of that of the blast furnace slag.

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.

This paper studies the blast furnace slag glass phase structure by a series of analysis methods. In glass phase, both Si and Al ions are confirmed to occupy only tetrahedral sites, while the [SiO4]4- and [AlO4]5- are separated by Ca and Mg. Furthermore, the glass structure corresponds to micro-crystal model, which means it contains some nano-scaled micro-crystals in the glass phase. In addition, the slag glass may separate into two phases: a calcium rich phase and a silica rich phase. According to devitrification experiment, it has been inferred that the chemical composition and structure of silica rich phase are close to that of akermanite,which means most of Si is distribute around Mg.

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.

The solidification and stabilization of calcium carbide residue (CCR) using granulated blast furnace slag was investigated in this study. CCR binding in hydrated slag was explored by X-ray diffraction, 29Si and 27Al magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and thermodynamic calculations. Mercury intrusion porosimetry and and compressive strength tests assessed the microstructure and mechanical properties of the mixtures of slag and CCR. C-A-S-H gel, ettringite, hemicarbonate, and hydrotalcite were identified as the main phases in the mixture of slag and CCR. The maximum CCR uptake by slag and the highest volume of precipitated solid phases were reached when CCR loading in slag is 7.5% by mass of slag, according to the thermodynamic prediction. This feature is also experimentally observed in the microstructure, which showed an increase in the pore volume at higher CCR loading.

AbstractThe aim of the present work is to elucidate crystallization and growing process of rutile crystals in Ti-bearing blast furnace slag. The samples were taken from the liquid slag and quenched at once at elevated temperatures in order to analyze phase transaction of titanium and grain size of rutile crystals. Crystallization and growing kinetics of rutile crystals under elevated temperature conditions were calculated, and the crystallization process of rutile crystals under isothermal conditions was expressed by Avrami equation. The effects of experimental parameters, such as experimental temperatures, SiO2 addition, cooling rate, crystal seed addition and oxygen flow, were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the optimal conditions for rutile crystals to grow up were obtained. Distribution and movement state of rutile crystals in the slag were analyzed.

ABSTRACTThe present work is a study on alkali activation of Mexican blast furnace slag, using sodium silicate. The aim is to produce an optimal specimen, homogeneous without carbonation, and with small fraction of crystalline phases, similar to CSH, which provide mechanical properties suitable to use in the construction industry. The samples were prepared using sodium silicate activator solutions with modulus (SiO2/Na2O) of 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75. The weight percentage of Na2O in the activator solutions was added at 4, 6 and 8% relative to the slag weight. The prepared samples were stored in sealed molds, at room temperature (20°C), during 7 days. The X-ray diffraction has revealed the presence of an amorphous phase, semi crystalline clinotobermorite phase and signals of calcium carbonate for the samples of 4 and 6 % of Na2O; in contrast with the 8% Na2O, where the latter signals almost disappeared. The specimen selected as optimal was prepared with an activator concentration of 8% of Na2O /Slag, and SiO2/Na2O of 1.25. A specimen under these optimal conditions was prepared with accelerated curing (40°C, humidity, 48 hours), and a compressive strength test was attained, with an average value of 52 MPa at 3 days.

AbstractThe carbothermic reduction experiments were carried out for titanium-bearing blast furnace slag in Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company in argon atmosphere at high temperatures. The effects of reduction temperature, isothermal treatment time and carbon content on the formation of TiC were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD pattern results showed that MgAl2O4 phase disappeared and the main phase of the reduced sample was TiC when the reduction temperature was higher than 1,773 K. The SEM pictures showed that the reduction rate of the titanium-bearing blast furnace slag could be increased by enhancing the temperature and the C content (carbon ratio ≤1.0). Furthermore, it was also found that TiC had the tendency of concentrating around the iron. The effects of additives such as Fe and CaCl2 on the formation of TiC were also studied in the present study.

Eco-cement produced from waste concrete was proved to be feasible in early research. The seed crystal of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) was utilized in this research to lower the sintering temperature of eco-cement clinker. The mineral compositions of clinker with GGBS seed crystal was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the mechanical properties of eco-cement with GGBS seed crystal was also tested. Four main cement minerals were all observed in eco-cement clinker and the compressive strength of the eco-cement pastes can approach to about 66 MPa at 28 curing days. The results showed that GGBS seed crystal was favourable for the formation of cement minerals at a lower temperature. It can help reduce by about 50~100°C for the sintering process of cement clinker. Content of GGBS seed crystal should better be in the rage of 5%~8%, and the suitable sintering temperature should be 1350°C.
