Abstract:In order to improve the resource utilization rate of steel slag and find an appropriate composition modification process, the six-element slag system of CaO-SiO2-MgO-FeO-Fe2O3-Al2O3 was studied. During the cooling process from 1 600 to 200 ℃, the equilibrium phase composition and content of the given steel slags with different w(CaO)/w(SiO2) was calculated and analyzed by FactSage thermodynamic software. The conclusion showed that equilibrium phase mainly included Ca2SiO4 phase, Ca2(Al,Fe)2O5 phase, MgO-FeO solid solution phase, f-CaO phase, Ca3MgAl4O10 phase, and Ca3MgSi2O8 phase precipitated out of steel slag when w(CaO)/w(SiO2) was 2. The lower w(CaO)/w(SiO2), the higher the content of beneficial silicate phase, and the lower the content of ferrite phase, MgO-FeO solid solution phase and f-CaO phase which were all not conducive to steel slag recycling. Therefore, reducing w(CaO)/w(SiO2) of steel slag can improve the abrasion resistance and stability of steel slag in subsequent treatment and use.
