Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting Ca from steelmaking slag such that a large amount of Ca can be eluted from the steelmaking slag into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. The present invention executes, in this order: a step for removing an iron-containing compound from steelmaking slag by performing magnetic separation on the steelmaking slag; and a step for bringing the steelmaking slag subjected to magnetic separation into contact with an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. In addition, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide and the steelmaking slag are brought into contact with each other while the steelmaking slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steelmaking slag is being ground.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering calcium-containing solid components from steelmaking slag, with which it is possible to easily increase the calcium recovery rate. With the method, steelmaking slag is immersed in an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide, and calcium in the steelmaking slag is made to leach out into the aqueous solution. Next, the immersed steelmaking slag is removed from the aqueous solution, and, subsequently, the pH of the aqueous solution is increased. When solid components precipitated by doing so are recovered, it is possible to recover solid components containing 20% or more by mass in terms of calcium atoms.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for eluting calcium from steel slag such that more calcium can be eluted into an aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide from the steel slag. The present invention comprises carrying out, in the following order, a step of subjecting a calcium compound contained in the steel slag to hydration and a step of bringing the steel slag subjected to the hydration into contact with the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide. Furthermore, in the present invention, the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide is brought into contact with the steel slag while the steel slag is being pulverized or the surface of the steel slag is being ground. As a result of these methods, more calcium can be easily eluted into the aqueous solution containing carbon dioxide from the steel slag.

Abstract: An aqueous solution containing 30 ppm or more of carbon dioxide is brought into contact with a steel-making slag to elute phosphorus and calcium contained in the steel-making slag into the aqueous solution. Subsequently, carbon dioxide is removed from the aqueous solution to precipitate a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound. In this manner, a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound and containing phosphorus in an amount of 1% by mass or more in terms of phosphorus atom content can be produced.
