Major global steel producers move away from basic oxygen furnaces (BOFs) to electric arc furnaces (EAFs) Asia ex-China consumption, however, is forecast to increase by almost 4 million tons by 2027 ; The Middle East is expected to witness the largest increase in GGBFS demand ; North America and Europe to drive global EAF production growth by 2027
2.1. Formation of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Slag. EAF slag is a non-metallic by-product that consists mainly of silicates and oxides formed during the process of refining the molten steel. As mentioned previously, the feed materials for EAF are mainly steel scrap and pig iron.
The higher the percentage of granulated slag was, the higher the density, the elastic modulus in compression and the compressive strength of the concrete were. Dry shrinkage of the concrete increased by adding a greater amount of EAF granulated slag. Keywords Industrial by-products, electric arc furnace granulated slag, eco-sustainability, concrete
An Electric arc furnace (EAF) produces steel by the melting of recycled steel scrap, using heat generated by an arc, created by a large electric current Lime added (as flux) combine with silicates and oxides to form liquid slag. EAF slag has a lower density than steel and therefore floats on top of the molten steel.
Since a ladle furnace is an electric arc furnace operated under vacuum, ladle slag is also named as EAF reducing slag (EAFRS) in some regions (Jiang et al., 2018; Mo, 2018). …
Dry shrinkage of hardened concrete was evaluated. Results indicated that the maximum percentage of natural aggregate that can be replaced with EAF granulated slag is …
The terms blast furnace slag (BFS) and granulated blast furnace slag, as well as LD slag and electric furnace slag are used for finer distinctions. With high-quality iron ore grades with an iron content of 64 to 67 %, a blast furnace typically produces about …
Ground granulated blastfurnace slag (ggbs) is usually the only constituent of concrete that contains appreciable quantities of sulfide. The sulfide content of the concrete can be …
GBFS is formed when molten blast furnace slag (BFS) is rapidly quenched from the furnace, rather than left to slowly solidify by air-cooling. Physical Description On casual examination, GBFS would pass for river sand, with a top size of …

Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, one of the SM slags, is produced by refining the process of recycled steel scrap in the electric arc furnace. The main chemical characteristics of EAF...
Steel slag is one of the most common waste products from the steelmaking industry. Conventional methods of slag disposal can cause negative impacts on humans and the environment. In this paper, the process of steel and steel slag …
An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric arc, combined with the action of chemical power provided by the use of oxygen and fuel. In electric arc furnaces, the charged material is directly exposed to an electric arc, and current from the furnace electrodes passes through the charged material.
• gbs ("granulated blast furnace slag"), produced after a quick cooling process with water to produce vitrified granulates, which can be used, after appropriate grinding treatments, in...
EAFS is produced in an Electric Arc Furnace. The slag is dark grey in colour and is characteristically harder than blast furnace slag (BFS). It has a density about 20 - 25% greater than basalt or BFS. It crushes to a cubical shape. EAFS in …
The water quenched electric arc furnace slag has a physical appearance which is partly granular and partly flaky. After drying to remove the moisture, it was crushed to pass through a # 6 sieve. The grindability of this crushed powder was determined as per standard procedure using the Bond mill with steel balls as the grinding media [16].
EAF slag is a non-metallic by-product that consists mainly of silicates and oxides formed during the process of refining the molten steel. Raw EAF slag often appears as grey or black colored lumps, depending on its ferrous oxide content. This type of slag generally has a rough surface texture, with a surface pore diameter of 0.01–10 μm.

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag from one of the steel plants in Western India has been characterised in detail. Its effectiveness as hydraulic material is examined before and after heat treatment in an induction furnace. ... the later age strength does not suffer by replacing up to 20% of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) by EAF slag.
Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag is a strong, dense, none porous aggregate that is cubical in shape, has good resistance to polishing and has an excellent affinity to bitumen. This makes it an ideal aggregate for asphalt …
The USGS noted that during 2021, domestic GGBFS remained in limited supply because granulation cooling was known to be available at only two active US blast furnaces while, elsewhere, only one domestic plant produced pelletised slag in limited supply. Grinding of granulated blast furnace slag was only performed domestically by cement companies.
The use of an electric arc furnace for recovery of metal values from slag generated in a secondary copper smelter has been successfully demonstrated and commercialized. Blast furnace slag containing about 1.5% Cu, 1.0% Pb, 3.5% Zn, 1.0% Ni, 40% FeO and 1.0 opt Ag was retreated to recover better than 75% of the metal values. The addition of ...
Overview. An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric arc, combined with the action of chemical power provided by the use of oxygen and fuel. In electric arc furnaces, the charged material is directly exposed to an electric arc, and current from the furnace electrodes passes through the charged material.
Electric arc furnace slag is produced during the manufacture of crude steel by the electric arc furnace (EAF) process. The slag itself is a strong and a dense material. Its mechanical strength and specific density have higher values compared to the soil. This material can be refined into a wide range of aggregate sizes.

EAF slag is used as an alternative to rock fragments, both in encapsulated uses (e.g., contained in concrete) and unencapsulated uses (e.g., loose ground cover material). It is commonly used as road base material. In some states, EAF slag is also marketed for use in landscaping. The image on the left is 0 – ¾ inch processed EAF slag.
