Glasses showing the composition of blast furnace slag were made in the laboratory, and the effect of the chemical composition on the latent hydraulic activity of the slags was examined. The latent hydraulicity was greatly influenced by the composition change, the optimal characteristic of the hydraulicity was achieved at the slag composition of 47CaO:20Al2O3:33SiO2. The content of CaO and Al2O3 were not equivalent to the hydraulic activity of the slags as the b-formula (KS L 5210) indicates. Good latent hydraulicity was shown when Al2O3 was richly contained at the high (CaO＋Al2O3):SiO ratio, while the more the MgO content was, the more negative the result turned out.

The inside wall of a coal gasifier is lined with refractory, and the corrosion of the refractory by coal sag is an important parameter affecting the refractory lifetime and the replacement period. This paper examines the changes in microstructure of a chromia refractory due to chemical reactions with penetrating slag as a function of slag composition. The effects of CaO and $Fe_2O_3$ concentrations were studied using Datong and KIDECO slag. Static corrosion experiments were carried out, the percent slag penetration and changes in the microstructure were determined by SEM/EDX analyses. FactSage equilibrium calculations were carried out to determine the equilibrium products and the predictions were compared with experimental observations.

Foam formation of Slag-Quartz-$\textrm{Na}_2\textrm{CO}_3$ system was investigated. The foaming agent used was sulphide and sulphate compounds which are present in the slag. The microstructures and x-ray analysis of foam slag, the effect of composition and particle size of slag on the formation temperature, and foam size and distribution of slag foam were studied. The Increment of $\textrm{Na}_2\textrm{O}$ in the slag batch composition decrease the initial foam formation temperature and enhance the foam growth. The formation of temperature and soaking time had pronounced effect on the foam growth and increasing the glass phase in the slag foam.

Concrete in water environment is easily subjected to the attack of leaching, which causes its mechanical reduction and durability deterioration, and the key to improving the leaching resistance of concrete is to increase the compaction of its microstructure formed by the curing. This paper performs a numerical investigation on the intrinsic relationship between microstructures formed by the hydration of cement and slag and leaching resistance of concrete in water environment. Firstly, a shrinking-core hydration model of blended cement and slag is presented, in which the interaction of hydration process of cement and slag is considered and the microstructure composition is characterized by the hydration products, solution composition and pore structure. Secondly, based on Fick's law and mass conservation law, a leaching model of hardened paste is proposed, in which the multi-species ionic diffusion equation and modified Gérard model are established, and the model is numerically solved by applying the finite difference method. Finally, two models are combined by microstructure composition to form an integrated curing-leaching model, and it is used to investigate the relationship between microstructure composition and leaching resistance of slag-blended cement pastes.

In a study of the optimum operational condition for a melting decontamination, the effects of the basicity, slag type and slag composition on the distribution of depleted uranium were investigated for radioactively contaminated metallic wastes of iron-based metals such as stainless steel (SUS 304L) in a direct current graphite arc furnace. Most of the depleted uranium was easily moved into the slag from the radioactive metal waste. The partitioning ratio of the depleted uranium was influenced by the amount of added slag former and the slag basicity. The composition of the slag former used to capture contaminants such as depleted uranium during the melt decontamination process generally consists of silica ($SiO_2$), calcium oxide (CaO) and aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$). Furthermore, calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$), magnesium oxide (MgO), and ferric oxide ($Fe_2O_3$) were added to increase the slag fluidity and oxidative potential. The partitioning ratio of the depleted uranium was increased as the amount of slag former was increased. Up to 97% of the depleted uranium was captured between the ingot phase and the slag phase. The partitioning ratio of the uranium was considerably dependent on the basicity and composition of the slag. The optimum condition for the removal of the depleted uranium was a basicity level of about 1.5. The partitioning ratio of uranium was high, exceeding $5.5{\times}10^3$. The slag formers containing calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$) and a high amount of silica proved to be more effective for a melt decontamination of stainless steel wastes contaminated with depleted uranium.

In this paper, we evaluated the suitability of converter slag as concrete aggregate by measuring physical and chemical characteristics of converter slag. The converter slag mainly contains SiO₂and CaO as the chemical composition. The reaction with water and a little of free CaO in the slag causes slag's volume to expanse. Therefore, we used several aging method in order to decrease the characteristics of slag volume expansion. Then the compressive strength of concrete with the converter slag aggregate is measured.

In order to improve hydration reactivity of blast furnace slag, it's composition was changed by adding of CaO. The slags were quenched in water at 1,400℃. Hydration reactivityof modified slags was studied by x-ray diffractometer, conduction calorimeter and so on. Experimental results were summarized as follows. 1. Glass content and hydration reactivity of slag depend significantly on quenching temperature of the slag melt. To enhance the reactivity, slag melts which belongs to Frenkel-type liquid, must be quenched above 1,300℃. 2. Vitrification of slag melts was confirmed as CaO/SiO2 ratio increased up to 1.57 with flux, 1.51 without flux, also their hydration reactivity was improved.

In this paper, we carried out fundamental experiments to use the steel manufacturing slag as a concrete aggregate. Generally there are two types of slag, the blast-furnace slag and the steel manufacturing slag. The latter is classified by the difference of manufacturing method of steel into the convertor slag and the electric-furnace slag. The steel manufacturing slag mainly contains SiO2 and CaO as the chmical composition. The reaction with water and a little of free CaO in the steel manufacturing slag makes the expansion of volume change. Therefore, we primarily investigated physical properties, expansion mechanism, pH value, aging effects and aging methods in the steel manufacturing slag. Then compressive strength of concrete with steel slag aggregate is measured.
