Producing Portland cement from iron and steel slags and limestone

The slags from blast furnace (iron making) and converter (steel making) after magnetic separation are mixed with limestone of six different compositions. The ground materials are fired in a pilot plant scale rotary kiln to 1350 °C for 1 h. The clinker is cooled, crushed, mixed with 3% gypsum, and ground to fineness of more than 3300 cm2/g. Initial and final setting times, consistency of standard paste, soundness, free CaO, and compressive and fractural strengths after 3, 7, and 28 days are measured. Samples with higher lime saturation factor developed higher C3S content and better mechanical properties. Blending 10% extra iron slag to a cement composed of 49% iron slag, 43% calcined lime, and 8% steel slag kept the compressive strength of concrete above standard values for type I ordinary Portand cement.
