Mineral extraction is an important operation for the economy of different countries and generates millions of tons of mining waste. In this context, and in association with the high demand for paving aggregates and the lack of raw materials for this purpose, the feasibility of using iron ore processing waste has emerged as a promising alternative. This study evaluates …
This article aims to recycle industrial slags in brick manufacturing and investigates the performance of fired clay bricks incorporating different kinds of industrial slags such as …
The limited cementitious activity of steel slag (SS) powder restricts its large-scale utilization as a replacement material for Portland cement and even more so for inert iron ore tailings (IOT). The micro-IOT (MIOT) were utilized as additives to improve the compressive strength and hydration degree of a binary system containing SS and PC. Compressive …
At the same time, conventional practice of brick manufacturing is not environment friendly due to high energy consumption and CO2 emissions during various stages of its production.
Fig 4 Layout of the HIsmelt plant. Environmental benefits. The environmental benefits of the HIsmelt process are considerable. By reducing the demand for coke, sinter and pellets, and improving the energy efficiency of the iron making process, it reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other damaging environmental pollutants such as SOx, NOx and …
The volume of tailings discharged worldwide from iron ore smelting processes (i.e., iron ore tailings) has increased dramatically in recent years, and the disposal of this waste poses a ...
Iron tailings are the waste of iron ore after crushing, grinding and beneficiation, which is the largest amount of industrial solid waste stockpiled and generated, hazardous to ecological environment and difficult to use (Meng et al. 2010).According to the statistics, for every 1 ton of iron ore output, there is a total of 1 ton of iron ore tailings.
Mineral wool is made from iron-ore slag and processed through melting, high-pressure steam blowing, and cooling. Excellent in sound insulation, the glass and mineral wool sandwich panels are useful in the building of factories, ballrooms, stadiums, shopping malls, …
In this paper, iron tailings were used to prepare baking-free bricks in synergy with solid wastes such as granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), steel slag (SS), desulfurization …
Coal and limestone are precious resources that can be preserved by using recycled steel instead of steel produced from iron ore. Natural resource conservation is one of the major environmental benefits of recycled steel.. Manufacturing steel consumes a considerable amount of natural resources, as follows:. Coke/coal: Approximately 770 kg …
Environmental Considerations in ferromanganese production . Ferromanganese production, like any industrial process, has environmental implications. Efforts are continually made to adopt cleaner technologies and minimize environmental impact. Recycling and reusing by-products, such as slag, contribute to sustainable practices within the industry.
Large amounts of lead slag are produced during the production of primary lead and secondary lead. Considering lead concentrate smelting as an example, a primary lead smelting system production of 1 t of lead will discharge 7100 kg of lead slag (Hou, 2011).At the secondary lead recycling process, for each ton of metallic lead produced, 100–350 kg of slag are …
The industry has always been committed to environmental protection, providing customers with high-end new nickel-iron slag and calcium carbide mud brick-making equipment, and is also committed to providing pollution treatment brick-making solutions and technical support for industrial solid waste gas sewage enterprises.
Further, water absorption (WA) of iron ore bricks was low in comparison to fly ash and clay bricks. Modi . et al. 6. manufactured bricks by mixing iron ore mine wastes with cement and sand in 40:30:30 proportions. The compressive strength and water absorption of bricks were 42.98 MPa and 2.42% respectively.
This paper aims to evaluate the effect of incorporating iron ore tailing and steel slag on red ceramic bricks. The procedure for producing the fired bricks includes forming the bricks by …
Ferrochrome slag (FCS) is a by-product of ferrochrome industries and is produced during the extraction of ferrochrome from chromite ore.
