Hydrometallurgical process, which is one of the recycling method of EAFD in zinc, is a process to recover metallic crystal form that deposited on the cathod through electrolytic extraction by leaching valuable metals in appropriate solvent. Still, there is a lot of variable at electrowinning process, such as initial pH, space between electrode, voltage, current, cathod, or anode, Thus, many studies have been conducted previously. In this study, the consideration of optimistic condition in electrowinning process to recover the valuable metal in EAFD have been carried. The extraction amount by changing pH shows increase according to high initial pH, also, the alteration of extraction amount by controling the space between electrode, voltage or current has been measured. The difference of efficiency represent by decrease of electromotive force, sudden loss of voltage under specific condition, and using platinum as electrode shows most stable extraction. Furthermore, when distance between electrode are too close, the extracted zinc contact with anode, which make recovery difficult. The analysis result of zinc metallic crystal which been recovered draws spherical and cylindrical shapes are scattered and mixed, and consequence of EDX, content of zinc appear about 60%.

Currently, a technique to subdivide the process refining is introduced, can be divided into the steel slag. In this study, Free-CaO in the electric arc furnace slag by the ethylene glycol method for the quantitative analysis for the expansion to proceed with construction materials.

CO2 emitted from building materials and construction materials industry reaches about 67 million tons, which occupy about 30% of CO2 emitted from the construction field. Controls on the use of consumed fossil fuels and reduction of emission gases are essential for the reduction of CO2 in the construction area as we reduce the second and third curing to emit CO2 in the construction materials industry. Accordingly, this study applied the low energy curing admixture (hereinafter “LA”) to the extruded panels to observe the physical properties, depending on the mixing amount of fiber, type of fiber and mixing ratio of fiber. The type of fiber did not appear to be a main factor to affect strength, while the LA mixing ratio and mixing amount of fiber appeared to be major factors to affect strength. Especially, the highest strength was developed when the LA mixing ratio was 40%, whereas the test object with the mixing ratio of 50% resulted in the decrease of strength. In addition, it appeared that the mixing ratio of fiber greatly affected flexural strength and strength increased as the mixing ratio increased.

This laboratory study showed the performance evaluations of a improved C12A7 based mineral accelerator (I-CA) by both mortar and shotcrete tests. Performance of I-CA as a shotcrete accelerator was excellent by KCI-SC-102, which is a Korean specifications of shotcrete accelerator. In addition, I-CA showed equal qualities to the setting time and the compressive strength when compared those of the existing C12A7 based mineral accelerator (CA). The I-CA was manufactured with 40wt.% of electric arc furnace reducing slag, 24wt.% of lime, and 36wt.% of bauxite, indicating that the commercialization of I-CA contributed to recycle electric arc furnace reducing slag and to reduce the manufacturing cost of C12A7 based mineral accelerator due to the use a cheap raw material(electric arc furnace reducing slag), and to reduce the greenhouse gas emission due to the reductions in usage of lime and bauxite.

Carbon dioxide generated from construction materials and construction material industry among the fields ofconstruction is approximately 67million tons. It is about 30% of the carbon dioxide generated in the fields of construction.In order to reduce carbon dioxide in the fields of construction, it is necessary to control the use of fossil fuel consumedand decrease carbon emission by reducing the secondary and tertiary curing generating carbon dioxide in constructionmaterial industry. Therefore, this study produced an extrusion panel by using cement as the base materials and substitutingbinding materials up to 40% to analyze strength characteristics. According to the results of strength characteristics bythe replacement binder (Low energy curing Admixture) showed an apparent active strength improvement. In particular,specimens substituting binder as 45% indicated the greatest strength improvement. When binding materials was used withsubstitution, it showed strength characteristics similar or higher than specimens made from tertiary autoclave curing assecondary steam curing.

In this study, the concrete compressive strength test conducted according to the replacement ratio of electronic arc furnace oxidizing slag. As higher substitution rate of the electronic arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregates, early concrete compressive strength development is effective and the higher the concrete compressive strength as too.

Blast furnace slag is recycled as high value-added material, while steel slag is difficult to recycle or is recycled as low value-added one relatively due to its expansion collapsability. It's property is caused by the high content of Free-CaO and unstable steel oxides. Currently, a technique to subdivide the process refining is introduced, can be divided into the electric furnace steel slag and reducing steel slag. In this study, Free-CaO in the electric arc furnace slag by the ethylene glycol method for the quantitative evaluation for the expansion to proceed with construction materials, electric arc furnace slag oxidation is to use.

Replacement aggregate source like as electric arc furnace slag will be important more and more in the domestic construction field. Recently KS F 4715 was revised in order to utilize electric arc furnace slag as concrete aggregate. However, stability for an actual structure has not been confirmed sufficiently. Therefore, more careful attention should be paid on the quality management of slag aggregate. To evaluate the volume stability of electric arc furnace slag, a method of immersion expansion for evaluating road aggregate has been used. These conventional method needs long time, so there are many demands from industry for fast testing method. This paper is intended to evaluate whether the acceleration test method in the hydro thermal condition is proper or not, and find the correlations between the volume expansion and oxide compounds of slag aggregate. The test results indicates that the acceleration test method has sufficient possibility as a way of evaluating the safety of electric arc furnace slag, and that there is no correlations between the volume expansion of mortar bar with slag aggregate and the oxide compositions of slag aggregate, but the main cause of the pop-out phenomenon is the MgO content of slag aggregate.

For utilization of Electric Arc Furnace Slag’s high added value, KS F 4571 was revised, so the institutional environment to use concrete aggregate was prepared. But, it has hardly been reported how much the slag occurring in actual steel-making plants meets KS requirements. Therefore, this study was intended to analyze various engineering features of electric arc furnace slag, which occur in diverse kinds of electric arc furnace process to manufacture reinforcing rebar, hot roll, and shape steel, in accordance with KS and relevant standards. The test results from this study showed that electric arc furnace slag occurring in Korea didn’t meet the standards relating to many physical properties, such as water absorption, grading, unit volume weight, and material passing standard sieve 0.08 mm which are required for concrete aggregate and are prescribed in KS F 4571, and therefore that something is needed to be improved. Regarding chemical properties, heavy metal solubility based on official wastes test method, CaO and FeO were met, but content of MgO related to expansion and basicity exceeded or came close to standards. Therefore, it was found that some measures should be taken to address the issue.

국내 천연자원은 1980년대 이후 지속적인 국토개발 사업으로 사용량이 한계에 이르고 있다. 특히, 건축 및 토목분야에 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 건설재료 중의 하나는 골재로 시멘트 및 아스팔트와 함께 사용되어 구조물의 골격을 이루는 중요한 자원이다. 현재의 건설경기는 장기화된 경기침체로 감소의 경향을 나타내고 있지만, 과거에 무분별하게 사용되었던 실적으로 천연 골재의 수급이 어려운 실정이다. 또한, 국민들의 의식 수준이 높아짐에 따라 환경보전의식이 대두되어 새로운 천연자원의 개발은 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 이러한 제약을 탈피하고자 골재의 경우에는 기존 구조물의 철거 시 발생하는 폐기물을 재활용하여 사용하고 있지만, 기존 골재보다 품질성능이 좋지 않아서 제품으로써의 파급효과가 적은 실정이다. 하지만, 한정된 천연 자원을 보존하는 현실을 감안한다면 순환골재의 사용은 증가할 것으로 사료되며, 이와 더불어 순환골재를 대체할 수 있는 대체재료의 개발과 적용이 동반하여 증가할 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 국내 현실을 감안하여 본 연구에서는 철강산업의 부산물로 발생하는 전기로 산화슬래그를 아스팔트 콘크리트용 골재로 제품화하여 천연골재를 보존하는 친환경 연구를 추진하고자 한다. 현재, 전기로 산화슬래그는 기타 다른 철강부산물보다 품질성능이 우수하지만, 발주처의 인식부족으로 신설도로의 노반재료로 대부분 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 일부 시멘트 콘크리트용 골재로 사용된 실적도 소개되고 있지만, 슬래그에 존재하는 불안정한 Free-CaO와 MgO가 물과 반응하여 체적팽창에 따른 구조물의 파괴를 초래하여서 시멘트 콘크리트용 골재로는 기피하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 아스팔트 콘크리트는 아스팔트가 골재를 코팅하고 있는 형태로 수분이 전기로 슬래그에 직접적으로 닿는 것을 차단하므로, 전기로 슬래그의 체적팽창을 방지할 수 있는 구조이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 수분의 침투에 따른 체적팽창을 모사할 수 있는 수분 민감도 시험과 마샬 안정도, 간접인장강도를 측정하여 실내 내구성능을 분석하였다. 또한, 중차량의 통행량이 빈번한 제철 사업장의 사내도로에 포설하여 전기로 슬래그 골재의 실제적인 거동을 분석하였다. 전기로 산화 슬래그를 적용한 아스팔트 혼합물의 전반적인 물성결과는 다음과 같다. 수분의 침투에 따른 강도저하를 평가할 수 있는 수분민감도에서는 86%의 높은 강도유지발현을 하고 있었다. 마샬 안정도와 간접인장강도 역시 기준을 훨씬 상회하는 것은 물론이며, 일반 천연골재 아스팔트 혼합물보다 우수한 강도를 발휘하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 현장 시험포장에서 코아를 채취하여 측정한 다짐 에너지는 일반이 96 %, 전기로 슬래그가 99.6 % 로 일반 혼합물보다 다짐 에너지가 충분히 전달된 것으로 분석되었다.
