Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Blast Furnace, Basic Oxygen Furnace, and Electric Arc Furnace Steel Industry Slags
Abstract
Approximately 21 million tons of steel industry slag are produced each year in the United States, and many productive commercial uses of slag have been developed (e.g., road bed, fill material). However, because slag contains heavy metals at concentrations that are higher than in most soil, questions have been raised regarding the need to evaluate the potential human health and environmental hazards associated with current applications. To enhance general understanding of the physical and chemical characteristics of this material, slag samples from 58 active mills with blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and/or electric arc furnaces were examined. This study profiles the major and minor constituents of slag from each furnace type and reports the leachability of metals from slag under neutral and acidic conditions. Particle size distributions and partitioning coefficients ( K d ) are also reported. Although concentrations of metals in slag are elevated relative to concentrations in soil, the metals in slag are tightly bound to the slag matrix and not readily leached. This study represents the most complete characterization of steel industry slag currently produced in North America, encompassing mills that collectively produce over 47% of steel industry slag. These data provide insights that may be useful for evaluating the marketability of steel industry slag and for human and ecological health risk assessment of environmental applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
