Use of slags from ladle and electric arc furnaces as construction materials

The existing necessity of clean productions as well as the profitability of enterprises that the Cuban economy is demanding makes it necessary to carry out a study of slags that constitute the main residue of the steel production. This paper presents the use of slags coming from electric arc furnaces (EAF) as a substitute for gravel in the production of concrete bricks. The use of slags coming from ladle furnaces (LF) to replace clinker in the production of Portland Cement is also shown. Positive results are obtained such as the protection of the environment and the economic growth of the enterprise.
