본 연구는 혼합 활성화제에 의한 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 시멘트(AASC)의 역학적 특성에 관한 연구이다. 사용된 활성화제는 황산칼슘(CaSO4, 이하 CS), 황산나트륨(Na2SO4, 이하 SS) 및 수산화나트륨(NaOH)이다. 황산염은 슬래그 중량의 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 및 10.0%로 치환하여 사용하였으며, NaOH는 2M 및 4M 농도의 수용액으로 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 황산염(CS 및 SS) 치환율에 따른 배합(4가지 배합)과 2M 및 4M의 각각의 NaOH 수용액에 치환된 황산염을 혼합하여 시험체를 제작하였다. 시험체는 총 24가지의 배합에 따라 페이스트로 제작되었으며, 물－결합재 비는 0.5로 하였다. 경화된 시험체에 대해서 압축강도, 휨강도, 초음파속도(UPV), 흡수율 및 XRD 분석을 수행하였다. CS의 활성화제를 사용한 경우는 7.5% CS 치환율, 2M NaOH 수용액+ 5.0% CS 치환율 및 4M NaOH 수용액+ 5.0% CS 치환율의 시험체에서 최고의 압축강도를 나타내었다. 또한, SS의 활성화제를 사용한 경우는 10.0% SS 치환율, 2M NaOH + 7.5% SS 치환율 및 4M NaOH + 2.5% SS 치환율에서 최고의 압축강도 발현을 나타내었다. 휨강도, UPV 및 흡수율은 압축강도 발현 결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었으며, XRD 분석결과 시험체 내에 생성된 반응물질은 ettringite, CSH 및 실리케이트계 수화물인 것으로 나타났다. AASC에서 황산염과 NaOH의 혼합 사용은 황산염의 단독 사용의 경우와 비교하여 일정 수준의 농도 범위에서 강도를 향상시키고 조직을 치밀화 시키는 등의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 반응성 피복소재인 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그의 피복두께에 따른 오염된 해양퇴적물 내 중금속 용출 차단 효율을 평가하였다. 실험결과, As의 용출차단에는 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그 모두 효과적이지 못하였다. 제올라이트는 Cr 용출 차단에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만, 몬모릴로나이트 5 cm 피복은 Cr 용출 차단에 매우 효과적이었다. As 및 Cr과는 대 조적으로 Cd, Ni, 그리고 Pb은 미피복 퇴적물에서 조차 용출되지 않았다. Cu와 Zn은 피복 조건에 따른 영향이 가장 뚜렷한 중금속이었다. Cu 의 용출은 몬모릴로나이트 피복 두께 1 cm 이상 그리고 제올라이트 피복 두께 3 cm 이상에서 효과적으로 차단되었다. 해양퇴적물에서 Zn의 용출은 모든 피복 물질에서 효과적이었다. 본 연구를 통해서 제올라이트, 몬모릴로나이트, 제강슬래그를 오염된 해양퇴적물에서 Cr, Cu, Zn의 용출 차단을 위한 효과적인 피복소재로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 슬래그를 다량 치환한 콘크리트의 동결융해 저항성능에 미치는 미세공극의 영향을 검토하였다. 콘크리트는 용선예비처리슬래그가 포함된 고로슬래그 미분말을 0, 40, 70 % 치환하여 제조하였으며 압축강도 특성 및 동결융해 저항성능과 미세공극을 검토하였다. 또한 설계기준강도와 목표공기량을 설정하고, 동결융해 작용에 따른 열화를 확인하기 위하여 재령 14일의 낮은 압축강도로 인한 내력저하를 유도하였다. 실험결과, 설계기준강도를 유사하게 설정하고 목표공기량을 확보하였음에도 불구하고 콘크리트의 미세공극 분포가 상이한 결과를 나타내었다. GGBS70 시험체는 동결융해를 받지 않은 초기 0사이클에서 10~100 nm 크기의 공극량이 가장 적어 공극 내 동결할 수 있는 물의 양이 적을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 이유로 다른 시험체에 비해 동결팽창압력이 상대적으로 작기 때문에 동결융해 저항성능이 우수한 것으로 판단된다.

Converter slag is discharged as by-product from steel making process. Its chemical composition is similar to that of blast furnace slag. Therefore its recyclability is high. But actually it was not widely recycled relatively. We studied to prepare insulating brick with it for enhancing the recyclability. We discussed mixing ratio of melting slag and converter slag and also additional amounts of Al-dross and NaOH as affecting factors. According to our results, 0.195 W/mK of thermal conductivity and 3.02 MPa of compressive strength were obtained at the following condition mixing ratio 60 : 40, aluminum dross 1.5wt%, NaOH 5.6wt%. It seemed that the thermal conductivity of prepared brick was decreased with increasing amount of Al-dross and NaOH. It is satisfied with the standard of insulating fire bricks (KS L3301).

SEM 결과를 통해 높은 양의 MgO 시험체는 치밀한 반응 생성물질이 만들어 진 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Method for Protect of the river levee was method for installing concrete revetment block and concrete mat method in Korea. But this method is non-environmental approach because the vegetation can not take at all. To solve these problem, the method has been applied using porous vegetation concretes. Porous vegetation concrete has filler technique to provide water retention and nutrient a into the porous interior in order to facilitate plant growth. But filler used increasing the cost and the construction period. Therefore in order to not use a filler, a high absorption rate and good absorption capacity needed aggregate. Current, Blast furnace slag aggregate has been used in architectural and civil engineering field as an alternative aggregate resources. Blast furnace slag aggregate is high absorption rate and lighter in weight per unit. This study evaluated the absorption capacity of the blast furnace slag aggregate. Phosphorus Sorption experiment was carried out to produce a cylindrical acrylic(diameter 11cm, height 90cm). There filling the aggregate, for supplying the test solution was using as a pump from bottom to top. And The water of having passed through the solution was analyzed. Results, blast furnace slag aggregate showed absorption capacity of 64~77% of PO43-P and T-P. Crushed aggregate show absorption capacity of 6~24% of PO43-P and T-P. Blast furnace slag aggregate showed excellent result of good absorption capacity compared to the crushed aggregate showed excellent result.

In Korean steel making industry is generating 25 billion tons of slag as industrial by-products per year. Uses of these slags to manufacture high functional abrasive material are of greater feasible option for sustainable development of industry as well as effectively solve the pollution issue associated with these waste. Recycling methods of slag have been actively studied for decades, but most of the slag recycling methods studied are related to low cost building materials. Recently, several combinations of by-products have been used in glass-ceramic manufacturing, mostly the abrasive materials are basalt based glass-ceramic. Using these industrial by-products instead of natural basalt ores, high functional product can be manufactured. This piece of investigation focused on the feasibility study for producing the basalt based glass-ceramic from recycled industrial by-products only, without any natural materials as raw materials. By controlling various process parameters like, mixture ratios of materials, heat treatment for casting, and soaking basalt based glass-ceramic were prepared. The prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermo-gravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Excellent material properties were observed.

This research investigated the effects of adding ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the pullout resistance of smooth steel fibers embedded in GGBS cement grouts. 40% of cement in the grouts was replaced with GGBS to enhance the flowability and durability of grouts containing steel fibers. The pullout resistance of steel fibers embedded in grouts showed continuous enhancement as the age of grouts increased. The pullout resistance of GGBS grouts was higher than that of grouts without GGBS.

As environmental concerns become a critical issue in the sustainability of the steel industry, manufacturing of various kinds of glass-ceramics and related functional materials recycled from post-mortem slags has become an important topic of research. The slag composition, which was reduced and cooled using this secondary treatment is affected by the operating parameters and thermo-physical properties of the slag, and thus can provide the potential for utilization in highly value-added products such as Portland cement and high-alumina cement. To increase the applications of the reduced slag product, a new cement material as well as slag aggregates from the EAF slags were developed by controlling the composition and morphology through novel methods.

As a result of strength test on FA and BFS, FA concrete showed higher increase of strength compared to OPC, when FA4000 and FA5000 were mixed 30%, respectively. For BFS concrete, those mixed with 30% and 50% of BFS8000, respectively, showed higher or equivalent strength compare to OPC. As a result of test of chloride penetration on FA and BFS, diffusion coefficients of concrete mixed with 30% FA4000 and FA5000, respectively, showed to restrain average 6.5% of diffusion coefficient compared to OPC. And in case of BFS concrete, those mixed with BFS6000 and BFS8000, restrained diffusion of chloride ions 253% and 336%, respectively, compared to OPC. Therefore, Mixing 50% of BFS was most efficient in order to maximize restraint of chloride penetration according to metathesis of large amount.
