Jan 28, 2010 Degradation of bricks in an iron ore pellet producing kiln has been investigated. Lab-scale tests of brick/slag interaction performed under different temperatures, atmospheres, and alkali additions show that addition of alkali dissolves the mullite in the brick and leads to formation of the phase nepheline (Na 2 OAl 2 O 3 2SiO 2). Figure 1- Process of slag Generation (epa.gov) During the process of reducing iron ore through coke in a blast furnace, blast furnace slag is generated while steel making slag is generated in the process of refining a hot metal produced by a blast furnace into steel (Khajuria and Siddique, 2014 Dippenaar, 2004), and has been mostly used as ...
