Australian scientists are trying to close the loop on steel waste and sewage wastewater. When they made new concrete using these waste materials, the results were 17 percent stronger than concrete ...

Steel slag is currently utilized both to treat wastewater, and as a concrete aggregate. New research now indicates that using it for the former makes it perform even better as the latter – so the same ...

Australian researchers say slag can strengthen concrete after it is used to filter wastewater. Magnified images showing concrete made with treated slag (center), conventional aggregates (left) and raw ...

For many, the first step in a long career in construction is education. Understanding this, the Slag Cement Association (SCA) has recognized an opportunity to enhance the education of tomorrow's ...

Using more sludge and less slag in their recipe, researchers were able to create a material that's stronger than even today's enhanced cements and highly resistant to corrosion by acid. It could solve ...

Researchers examined whether steel slag that had been used to treat wastewater could then be recycled as an aggregate material for concrete. Their findings? Concrete made with post-treatment steel ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have devised a way of cheaply producing low-carbon concrete at scale by making use of waste cement and the steel industry's electric arc furnaces. The method ...

Nine outstanding projects from across the United States using slag cement were honored at the American Concrete Institute’s Spring Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. During an educational session on ...

The most recent development that has further increased the value and usefulness of slag cements is the high costs and prospective shortages of energy. The slag does not need to be burned in a kiln.
