Electric-furnace-slag has the expansion, due to the reaction with water and free Cao. So compared with the blast-furnace-slag, the recycling range of EFS is subject to restriction. But the expansive reaction of EFS is removed, the it is possible to use aggregate for concrete. This study is the basic properties of concrete to used stabilized EFS(oxidized EFS). The EFS is used fine aggregate in concrete, and replaced by sea-sand(natural sand). The replacement ratio are 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. The result of study, to used oxidized EFS-sand, the flowability and the compressive strength is increased. Also it is possible to reduce the Bleeding. It is necessary more study about using the EFS aggregate, like the durability, the mechanical property for concrete

Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) which is by-product of steel industry has been recycled as a cement admixture though the other steel slags are used as aggregates. In this study, the electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) was used as a cement admixture after the reduction of iron oxide in the slag at the interface of molten slag and water quenching. Consequently, the reformed EAFS (REAFS) had higher grindability than that of granulated blast furnace slag. And in mortar tests, the strength properties of specimens using REAFS were 98% of plain specimens of GGBFS upto 20% replacement ratio of GGBFS with REAFS.

Steel slag (divided into electric arc furnace slag and convener slag) is being produced by millions of tons per every year in many industrial countries. About 6.5 million tonnes of steel slag is produced yearly as an industrial by-product in Korea. Generally natural aggregate is relatively stable and does not enter into complex chemical reactions with water. Unfortunately, however. steel slag aggregate contains a small amount of free lime. The hydration of free lime makes steel slag aggregate unstable and liable to expand. In this paper, firstly, several aging methods are used in order to decrease the volume expansion of electric arc furnace slag, that is stabilization. The volume expansion of electric arc furnace slag is formulated from the experiment. From the formula, the residual expansibility is predicted with immersion expansion. Compressive strength of concrete with electric arc furnace slag has relation with the residual expansibility in slag aggregate.

The residual heat and high CaO content present in the slag remaining in the ladle after the completion of continuous casting in the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process have been utilized to reduce power consumption and lime usage in the ladle furnace (LF) process. However, if the timing of such processes does not align with the LF and continuous casting operations, the recycling rate will decrease. To increase the slag recycling rate, the effect of ladle slag recycling methods, specifically pouring ladle slag into the slag pot in advance for subsequent recycling, on LF operations was analyzed. The slag liquefaction rate was calculated using the thermodynamic program Factsage 8.3 for ladle molten slag recycling methods. By applying each of the 10 heats operations for the ladle slag recycling methods, the desulfurization ability and LF operation performance were compared. It was found that when slag was immediately recycled into the ladle after continuous casting was completed, power consumption decreased by 0.3 MWh, LF operation time was shortened by 1.2 minutes, and the desulfurization rate increased by 5.8%.

The purpose of this study is to recycle steel slag generated from the iron producing process and to use steel slag as a construction material which is currently landfilled Steel slag is subjected to aging treatment due to the problem of expansion and collapse when it reacts with water. The Slag Atomizing Technology (SAT) method developed to solve these problems of expanding collapse of steel slag. In this study, experimental study on the emergency repair mortar using the reducing slag, electric arc furnace slag and silicon manganese slag manufactured by the SAT method is Reduced slag was shown an accelerated hydration when it was replaced with rapidly-setting cement, and the rate of substitution was equivalent to 15%. It is shown that the electric furnace oxide slag is equivalent to 100% of the natural aggregate, and it can be replaced by 15-30% when the silicon manganic slag is substituted for the electric furnace oxide slag. With the above formulation, it was possible to design the rapidly repair mortar for road use. These recycling slags can contribute on achieving sustainability of construction industry by reducing the use of cement and natural aggregates and by reducing the generation of carbon dioxide and recycling waste slag.

Steel industry produces many by-products and wastes such as blast furnace slag, electric arc furnace slag, and converter slag. As in the case of rock, the main component of steel slag are CaO and $SiO_2$ ; further, steel slag is as alkaline as portland cement or concrete. Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag is possible to use as an aggregate for concrete ; however, it has been reclaimed because of it's expansibility caused by free CaO. Recently, a innovative rapid cooling method for melting steel slag has been developed in Korea, which reduces free lime content to minimum level and increases the stability of iron oxide. Therefore, this study describes the results of a series of research to utilize globular shape of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates made by rapidly cooled method for the construction industry by cooling rapidly melted slag from the steel industry. First of all, an experiment was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates in order to determine whether they can be applied to the construction industry. Then, by applying them to concrete of various particle sizes, we explored experimentally the desired condition to apply rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates to concrete.

An amount of electric arc furnace slag, by-products generated in iron manufacture, is being increased. Therefore, it is required to recycle the electric arc furnace slag. Currently, it is possible to use the electric arc furnace slag as the aggregates of the concrete through the insurance of volume stability but not in the past because of the expansibility of f-CaO and f-MgO. In this study, simple beam tests via Ichinose method were performed to estimate the bond properties of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using the electric arc furnace slag. The results of the test showed that the showed that specimens using the electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregates have similar or more bond capacity relative to the specimen of natural aggregates. Especially, bond capacity of the specimens using the slag aggregates was almost one and a half times higher than a specimen using natural aggregates.

Currently, electric furnace oxide slag is mostly used for soil or road use due to its nature. Although electric furnace oxidation slag is an industrial byproduct, not a circulating aggregate, the shortcomings of electric furnace oxidation slag are gradually being resolved due to the development of technology, and it is said that electric furnace oxidation slag is enough to be used as aggregates in light of research and technology conditions outside of Korea. However, there are difficulties in expanding construction and application, given that the current standard for electric furnace oxid slag only defines recycling purposes and does not have specific regulations. Therefore, institutional supplementation is needed to utilize oxidation slag as electricity. In this study, the laws and system related to oxidation slag by electricity are reviewed, laws related to recycled aggregate are examined, and measures for improvement are proposed.

With the increase of steel production research interest on the recycling of slag as a by-product also increases steadily. Currently in Korea a lot of researches on blast-furnace slag have been made. However, the researches on the steel slag have been rarely made. Also, a research of steel slag, especially the use of oxidation furnace slag as aggregates for concrete progress, is performing actively, but the research results on the furnace slag are almost nothing. Recently, the research about the furnace slag as backfill material and embankment material confirmed the possibility of the clay soil amendment. Therefore, the object of this study is to review the possibility as civil engineering materials for soil improvement and to find the optimum mixture ratio of furnace slag. This research analyzed the ingredient component of the reduced slag by SEM, XRF, XRD tests and examined the strength increase using unconfined compression tests when the clay and reduced slag are mixed each other. Through this test, the definite strength increase is confirmed according to the mixture of the reduced slag and the possibility of soil improvement is also confirmed based on this result. The object of the study is both utilizing the by-product for civil engineering purpose and effective recycling by the application of the furnace slag for soil improvement.
