Most of the existing research on ferronickel slag has focused on its potential as aggregate and fine aggregate, this study was conducted focusing on the potential of ferronickel slag powder as a concrete admixture. For concrete, which fly ash, blast furnace slag, and FSP were mixed with each 10 % type the reactivity was evaluated by applying ASTM C 1260 of the United States. As a result, compared with the control group, the expansion rate of fly ash decreased by 8.43 % and that of fine blast furnace slag powder decreased by 14.46 %, while the expansion rate of ferronickel slag decreased by 49.40 %. it was confirmed that ferronickel slag can sufficiently be replaced existing supplementary cementitious admixtures such as fly ash and blast furnace slag in terms of suppressing the reactivity of aggregates. However as a result of SEM analysis, ettringites were generated, and additional research about how it affects concrete is needed.

In this paper, the effects of ferronickel slag powder and admixture on the strength of VR sewer pipe were analyzed. the substitution rate was tested as a variable, and the strength development was studied through the flexural strength, compressive strength and using SEM microscopic analysis. bending strength, compressive strength results and micro analysis using SEM showed the correlation in each case. the substitution rates were 20% and 30% relative to the mass of the OPC respectively, and were substituted according to a constant ratio of ferronickel slag fine powder and mixture. when the substitution ratio was 20%, the strength development was excellent. also, bending strength and compressive strength were the best when the ferronickel slag fine powder, quicklime, gypsum and calcium chloride were used as the admixture, dense microstructural patterns appeared. the possibility of progressive strength development is shown after 28 days.

The aim of this study was to utilize ferronickel slag produced in the manufacture of stainless steel as a flowable backfill material for underground use using crushed fine powder. Experimental combinations were made using two components: Case A (sand) and Case B (soil). The optimal mixing ratio of Case A was sand (58.4%), ferronickel slag fine powder (21.6%), cement (1.8%), and water (18.2%). In the case of B, the optimal mixing ratio was determined to be soil (53.0%), ferronickel slag fine powder (20.0%), cement (1.7%), and water (25.3%). The uniaxial compressive strength of case A, which is a mixture of ordinary sand and ferronickel slag powder, was relatively larger than that of case B using soil. In addition, the strength of the specimen increased with increasing curing time. The uniaxial compressive strength tended to increase with increasing curing time. In addition, the unconfined compression strength of the fluid backfill material using common sand as the main material was relatively larger than that of the mixed material using soil as the main material. In case A, the uniaxial compressive strength ranged from 0.17-0.33 MPa, 0.21-0.39 MPa, and 0.19-0.40 MPa, respectively, at curing times of 7, 14, and 28 days. From the experimental results, it was concluded that the ratio of FNS powder and cement mixture was the most appropriate for Case A3. Case B, which used soil as the main material, showed a similar tendency to Case A. As a result of the dissolution test for evaluating the environmental harm of the FNS fine powder, there was no dissolution of substances harmful to the environment.

In this study, strength and durability evaluations are performed on vibrated-rolled method mortar mixtures containing desulfurized gypsum and ferronickel slag powder. Desulfurized gypsum and ferronickel slag fine powders were substituted for 25% limestone fine powders u sed in the manu factu re of VR tu bes, and mortar specimens were prepared u sing vibrated-rolled method. Accordingly, flexural and compressive strengths were performed to evaluate the strength, and chlorine ion penetration resistance and sulfuric acid resistance tests were performed to evaluate durability. Flexural and compressive strength were improved in the range 20 to 60% of desu lfu rized gypsu m among admixtu res, and the amou nt of passing charge decreased in the choride ion penetration resistance test in the range of 20 to 80% of desulfurized gypsum. As for the resistance to su lfu ric acid, when the proportion of desu lfu rized in the admixtu re was 40%, the strength and weight change rate according to the immersion period was reduced. Appropriate use of desulfurized gypsum and ferronickel slag powder is expected to improve performance in terms of strength and durability.

This study involves the development of a Hwangto permeable block for rainwater storage tanks. The permeable products that form continuous voids between Hwangto binders and aggregates are fine milled slag powder, which is an industrial by-product generated during the production of Hwangto and iron, and ferro nickel slag. The properties of Hwangto permeable blocks were studied using recycled resource aggregates. The target quality is based on KSF 2394. The Hwangto permeable block for a rainwater storage tank is made of water-permeable material, and the permeability of the Hwangto permeable block itself is 0.1mm/sec or higher, with a physical performance of over 5.0MPa in flexural strength and over 20.0MPa in compressive strength. The physical properties of Hwangto permeable block for rainwater storage tanks were researched and developed. In order to prevent flooding due to heavy rain in summer and the urban heat island phenomenon due to depletion of ground water, continuous pores are formed in the block to secure a permeability function to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the pavement of the floor, and to prevent slippage for comfortable and safe storage.
