Abstract: The disclosure is of a method of treating ferruginous metallurgical slags to lower basicity, stabilize their composition, reduce their melting point and stabilize the slag in regard to dusting and slaking. The stabilized slag is useful as an artificial sand or as an aggregated sand useful in the manufacture of concrete and like compositions.
Abstract: The disclosure is of apparatus useful for oxidizing and mixing molten ferruginous metallurgical slags such as converter slag, electric steel making furnace slag and open hearth furnace slag.
