“…Nowadays, the cold bonded pelletizing technique is widely used to recycle industrial waste powders for producing artificial aggregates for application in concrete, and the raw materials (powder level) used are extended to various waste powders in recent years, such as iron ore fines (Dutta et al, 1997a), coal fly ash (Geso glu et al, 2007;Ferone et al, 2013) and bottom ash (Geetha and Ramamurthy, 2010a), granulated blast furnace slag (Geso glu et al, 2012), quarry dust (Thomas and Harilal, 2015), etc. The widespread research on the production of artificial aggregates using waste powders through cold bonded technique proposes a positive view on the investigation of producing artificial aggregate using BAF, which is rarely studied.…”
