Magnesium oxide solid dissolved in silicate phase, mesophase and RO-phase which are the major constituents of steel slag. The MgO exists in the steel slag with complex forms, which results in the bad soundness of the steel slag. In this paper, the silicate phase and mesophase were separated by salicylic acid methanol solution and potassium hydroxide-sucrose solution respectively and were studied combining with the XRD and SEM. The results show that the silicate phase and mesophase can be fully dissolved, however, the RO phase is not influenced by the two solutions in this process. The content of magnesium oxide existed in different minerals can be detected by chemical analysis. It can be found that the magnesium oxide mainly exists as RO-phase in steel slag, and some of them exist as free state, while only a small quantity of solid dissolve in the silicate phase and mesophase.
In cement industry, many grinding up systems are on operating now. The tradition process of tube mill grinding system is high energy consumption, so it’s low efficiency, especially in the final cement grinding process. The value and advantage of slag is recognized more and more, but it’s difficult to be grinded up. Furthermore, the disadvantage and shortages to grind up clinker compounded with slag to produce cement are obvious and adopted. The best process is to grind up slag, clinker separately. Then, these two kinds of powder are compounded by a mixer. Hereby, it introduces a design of the process to grind up clinker, slag by one roller mill.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
