The amount of ferro-nickel slag powder produced by the Fe-Ni industry has grown in conjunction with the increase in demand for stainless steel materials. In this study, we investigated the effects of ferro-nickel slag powder on the flow, strength, and microstructure of polymer mortar. Ferro-nickel slag powder was used to replace CaCO3 at ratios of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by volume. The flow and the compressive and flexural strength of the polymer mortar were measured, and both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hot resistance testing were performed. The test results indicate that the flow of the polymer mortar with more than 25% CaCO3 replacement decreased as the ferro-nickel slag powder content increased. The compressive strength of the polymer mortar mixes with ferro-nickel slag powder was relatively higher than that of the control mix. From the results of the hot resistance test, the strength improved compared with that before the test and increased as the powder replacement ratio was increased.

This research presents the results of the strength and drying shrinkage properties to study the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS), fly ash(FA) and calcium sulfoaluminate(CSA) for activated ternary blended slag cement. The activated ternary blended cement(ATBC) mortar were prepared having a constant water-cementitious materials ratios of 0.4. The GGBFS contents ratios of 100%, 80%, 70% and 60%, FA replacement ratios of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, CSA ratios of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% were designed. The superplasticizer of polycarboxylate type were used. The activator was used of 10% sodium hydroxide(NaOH) + 10% sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) by weight of binder. Test were conducted for mini slump, setting time, V-funnel, water absorption, compressive strength and drying shrinkage. According to the experimental results, the contents of superplasticizer, V-funnel and compressive strength increases with an increase in CSA contents for all mixtures. Moreover, the setting time, water absorption ratios and drying shrinkage ratio decrease with and increase in CSA. One of the major reason for the increase of strength and decrease of drying shrinkage is the accelerated reactivity of GGBFS with alkali activator and CSA. The CSA contents is the main parameter to explain the strength development and decreased drying shrinkage in the ATBC.

Concrete made with ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBS) has many advantage, including improved durability, workability and economic benefits. GGBS concrete is that its strength development is considerably slower under standard 20°C curing conditions than that of portland cement concrete, although the ultimate strength is higher for same water-binder ratio. GGBS is not therefore used in application where high early age strength is required. In this study, to overcome the limitation of the initial strength decrease due to the use of slag, the slag substitution rate was changed to 30% under the low temperature curing temperature condition and the slag used concrete composition with the same or higher strength performance as OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement).

우리나라에는 1970년 이전부터 총 5,396개의 광산이 개발되었다. 하지만, 1980년대 이후 해외 광산물의 유입, 인건비가 상승하게 되면서 휴･폐광산이 증가하게 되었으며, 현재 362개의 광산만이 가행 되고 있는 실정이다. 오염방지시설이 미미한 채 방치되어 있는 휴･폐광산 부산물은 주변 토양 및 지하수를 오염시켜 광범위한 환경오염을 초래하고 있기 때문에 처리가 필요한 상황이다. 이러한 부산물을 처리하기 위해 많은 양의 토사를 사용하는 폐기물 매립지의 복토재로 사용가능 한 방법들이 연구 중에 있다. 많은 방법들 중 산업폐기물을 첨가하여 일반 토사의 사용량을 줄이는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 일반적인 산업폐기물을 이용한 복토재의 경우 높은 pH와 악취를 발생시키는 문제점이 있었다. 이에 따라 산업폐기물을 이용한 복토재의 pH와 악취를 조절할 필요가 있다고 사료된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 휴･폐광된 광산 주변의 오염토양과 MCIP 미생물과 제강슬래그를 혼합하여 중금속 용출 실험을 실시하였으며, MICP 미생물과 제강슬래그의 혼합비율을 변화하여 복토재로 적합한 조건을 알아보고자 하였다.

시멘트 산업에서는 폐자원의 재활용과 비용절감 및 생산 효율성을 증가시키기 위하여 고로슬래그, 석탄재, 폐수처리오니, 폐타이어, 폐합성수지 등 다양한 폐기물이 보조연료 및 대체원료로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이로 인하여 시멘트 제품의 유해성, 주변 환경 영향 등에 대한 논란을 유발하고 있다. 이에 따라 시멘트 제품의 품질의 안전성과 환경 유해성에 대한 사회적 논란을 해소하기 위해서 시멘트 중 육가크롬을 20 mg/kg으로 관리 중이며, 육가크롬을 포함하여 6개 중금속(Cr6+, As, Cu, Cd, Pb, Hg)에 대하여 매월 모니터링 중이다. 모니터링에 분석되는 시멘트는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트를 대상으로 함에 따라 다른 종류의 시멘트에 대한 중금속 함유량을 파악할 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고로슬래그를 이용한 고로슬래그 시멘트에 대한 중금속 함유특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과 고로슬래그 시멘트의 경우 대부분 고로슬래그와 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트가 50 % : 50 %로 혼합하여 생산되고 있었으며, 고로슬래그가 혼합됨에 따라 중금속 함유량이 낮아지는 것을 파악하였다. 또한, 공사현장에서 초기 강도가 낮은 단점이 있으나 자원 재활용 및 유해물질 안전관리 측면에서 볼 때 고로슬래그 시멘트의 사용은 부가가치 및 환경성이 높다고 평가된다.

In this study, alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete made with blast furnace slag (BFS) was investigated as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete for changes in the compressive strength before and after CO2 exposure and chemical reactions with CO2. Before CO2 exposure, the compressive strength of AAS concrete was found to be up to 21 MPa, which was higher than that of OPC concrete. Exposing AAS concrete to CO2 at 5,000 ppm for 28 days did not significantly change the compressive strength. In contrast, the compressive strength of OPC concrete decreased by 13% in the same conditions. In addition, AAS concrete had the highest CO2 capture capacity of greater than 50 g CO2/kg, while the CO2 capture capacity of OPC concrete was only 2.5 g CO2/kg. Rietveld analyses using XRD results showed that fractions of main calcium-silicate-hydration (C-S-H) gels on the surface of AAS concrete did not significantly drop after CO2 exposure; the C-S-H gel on the AAS concrete was continuously produced by reacting with the SiO2 produced after the reaction with CO2 and Ca(OH)2 inside the concrete, with the result that the compressive strength of AAS concrete did not change after CO2 exposure. Thus, AAS concrete can be applied to CO2-rich environments as both a stable construction material and a CO2 sequestrate agent.

본 연구는 규산나트륨(Na2SiO3)으로 활성화된 고유동 대량치환슬래그 시멘트의 기초특성에 관한 연구이다. 고로슬래그 미분말 (GGBFS)은 보통포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)의 40%에서 80%까지 질량치환하고 칼슘설포알루미네이트(CSA)는 2.5%와 5.0% 치환하였다. 규산나 트륨(Na2SiO3)은 전체 결합재(OPC+GGBFS+CSA) 질량의 2%와 4% 추가하였다. 모든 배합의 물-결합재 비(w/b)는 0.35이다. 본 연구에서는 미니슬럼프, V-funnel, 응결시간, 압축강도와 건조수축을 측정하였다. 실험결과 유동화제 양, V-funnel, 응결시간과 건조수축은 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 그러나 압축강도는 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 이러한 원인 중 하나는 CSA와 Na2SiO3가 GGBFS의 활성화를 촉진하였기 때문이다. 최고의 성능을 나타낸 배합은 CSA 5.0% + Na2SiO3 4%를 혼합한 시험체이다.

The study investigated the fluidity and compressive strength properties of cement paste containing Ferro-Nickel slag powder by different curing conditions to estimate the applicability of Ferro-Nickel slag powder for cement replacement materials.

Recently, a method of using blast furnace slag to reduce the amount of cement which generates a large amount of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process has been studied. Blast furnace slag is a latent hydraulic property material and requires the use of alkali activator. However, alkali activator is expensive and have problems in use. Therefore, in this study, an alkali aqueous solution was used instead of an alkali activator. The alkaline aqueous solution used in this study was obtained by electrolysis of pure water and has strong alkalinity of pH12. As a result, we found that the use of alkali aqueous solution is effective in improving the reactivity of blast furnace slag.

Amendment of multi-binders was employed for the immobilization of metal(loid)s in field-contaminated soils to reduce the leaching potential. The effect of different types of multi-binders (lime/diammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate/ladle slag and lime/ladle slag) on the solidification/ stabilization of metal(loid)s (Pb, Zn, Cu and As) from the smelter soil and mine tailing soil were investigated. The amended soils were evaluated by measuring Toxicity Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP) leaching concentration of metal(loid)s. The results show that the leaching concentration of metal(loid)s decreased with the immobilization using multi-binders. In terms of TCLP extraction, the mixed binder was effective in the order of lime/ladle slag > diammonium phosphate/ladle slag > lime/diammonium phosphate. When the mixed binder amendment (0.15 g lime+0.15 g ladle slag for 1g smelter soil and 0.05 g lime+0.1 g ladle slag for 1 g mine tailing soil, respectively) was used, the leaching concentration of metal(loid)s decreased by 90%. However, As leaching concentration increased with diammonium phosphate/lime and diammonium phosphate/ladle slag amendment competitive anion exchange between arsenic ion and phosphate ion from diammonium phosphate. The Standard, Measurements and Testing programme (SM&T) analysis indicated that fraction 1 (F1, exchangeable fraction) decreased, while fraction 4 (F4, residual fraction) increased. The increased immobilization efficiency was attributed to the increase in the F4 of the SM&T extraction. From this work, it was possible to suggest that both arsenic and heavy metals can be simultaneously immobilized by the amendment of multi-binder such as lime/ladle slag.

본 논문은 전기로 산화슬래그 골재를 사용하여 콘크리트를 제작하여 물리적 성능을 평가하였다. 실험은 전기로 산화슬래그 골재를 치환하여(잔골재-굵은골재) 0%-0%, 0%-100%, 50%-100%, 100%-100%으로 각 4수준으로 일반강도영역 W/C 45%와 고강도영역인 W/C 30% 의 2수준으로 제작하여 진행하였다. 굳지 않은 콘크리트에서는 공기량, 플로우 및 슬럼프, 단위용적질량 실험을 진행하였으며, 경화 콘크리트 에서는 압축강도 및 휨강도, 단위용적질량 실험을 통하여 물리적 특성을 검토하였다. 본 연구의 실험결과 전기로 산화슬래그의 혼입량이 증가 함에 따라 콘크리트의 강도 증진 효과가 나타났으며, 이는 전기로 산화슬래그 골재 내에 β-C2S로 인하여 골재 내외부에서 강도 증진 효과를 발 휘한 것으로 사료된다.

Powder mine wastes cause secondary environmental problems from dust flying around villages. It is necessary to recycle to prevent this secondary pollution and to use its beneficial contents. Magnesium and iron may play a role like that of aluminum in geopolymer forming. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the compressive strength of geopolymer prepared from melting slag (MS) and high-magnesium iron mine waste (MW). The compressive strength increased by increasing the mixing ratio of MS and decreasing the L/S ratio. The optimal properties were obtained at a mixing ratio of MS to MW of 5 : 5, molar ratio of SiO2/Na2O of 1.8, and L/S ratio of 0.2. Under these conditions, the compressive strength at 28 days was 112.5 MPa. According to the FT-IR analysis, a geopolymer structure was identified. As a result, we confirmed the possibility of geopolymer forming from MS and MW.

This paper investigates the strength properties of ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) with magnesium sulfate(MgSO4). GGBFS was replaced with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% MgSO4 by weight. Mixtures of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) were used as the alkaline activator; a mixture of 5% NaOH and 5% Na2SiO3, and a mixture of 10% NaOH and 10% Na2SiO3 by slag weight. The added activators were dissolved in the water, and the weight ratio of water to slag was 0.45. This study was performed using compressive strength testing, ultrasonic pulse velocity(UPV), water absorption and X-ray diffraction(XRD). In this study, the strength of hardened samples decreases with increasing MgSO4 content. In addition, the water absorption of samples increases and UPV decreases, with the increase of MgSO4 content. Brucite, gypsum and M-S-H(magnesium silicate hydrate) are present in the XRD patterns of the hardened samples.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate flowability of engineered cemetitious composite(ECC) Using blast furnace slag and fly ash as a binder in mixture. From the test result, flowability value of all ECC mixtures show good flowability and self compacting performance.

In general, polymer cement mortars that is made from organic polymer dispersion and cement have good workability compared with ordinary cement due to ball-bearing acting of polymer particles in cement mortar. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the workability of cement mortar according to adding of admixtures such as polymer dispersions, blast-furnace slag and fly ash. From the test results, the flow of polymer-modified mortars is increased with increasing polymer-cement ratio, and also is a little improved according to adding of fly ash compared to blast-furnace slag.

From the test results, it was found that the compressive strength and the resistance of chloride ion penetration were evaluated the slag content of the concrete for bridge pavement. Compressive strength test results showed that initial strength was decreased as slag replacement ratio increased. The chlorine ion penetration performance increased with increasing strength.

In this study, it was developed geopolymer concrete of alkali-activated using the mixed fly ash and blast furnace slag. and it was developed the interlocking block using the developed geopolymer concrete. In addition, the bending strength and water absorption rate of the interlocking block was tested by KS standard. The test results were as follows. The water adsorption ratio of the BSF4 specimen was under 10%, and the flexural strength of that was over 5MPa

The effect of loading on chloride penetration into concrete is evaluated in this study. It is found that the chloride pene- tration rates for OPC concrete and blast furnace slag BFS concrete under the tensile stress were increased by 29% and 77%, respectively. The diffusion coefficient of FA and BFS concrete was lower than that of conventional concrete without BFS, no loads and stress states. Under tensile stress, the diffusion coefficient for FA and BFS, plain concrete showed higher values with increasing stress. The influence of specific surface area on the diffusion coefficient was investigated. As a result, the larger the specific surface areas of BFS are the lower diffusion coefficients. This tendency was more pronounced under the high stress conditions. The chloride penetration depth was distributed uni- formly when no stress was applied. However, in the case of tensile loading, the diffusion depth was not distributed uni- formly, and showed prominent characteristics. This result indicates that analysis using average values of chloride pene- tration depth is not proper under load conditions.

As the amount of slag generated annually increases, attempts to recycle slag as high value products are underway in order to develop an efficient resource recycling industry based on slag and derive economic benefits as well. However, the application of electric arc furnace (EOS) slag as construction material is practically limited because of the unstable substances included in it, such as free CaO.(EOS contains a small amount of free CaO, but several limitations still exist. Slag is stored for more than 3 months depending on the quantity of slag, which leads to additional economic loss. In this study, the amount of free CaO present in EOS is quantitatively evaluated to examine its qualities as a potential construction material and verify its application as concrete material. The quantitative analysis of free CaO present in EOS is performed using ethylene glycol. The free CaO contents of EOS samples were found to be below 0.5%. This satisfies the criteria specified in KS F 4571, which states that the CaO content should be below 40% and CaO/SiO2 ratio should be below 2.0. In addition, it was confirmed that free CaO content difference appears to be dependent on the aging period and storage position.
