Development of ceramic tiles from common clay and blast furnace slag

Chemical and Mineralogical Characterization of Ghanaian Foundry Slags

“…Foundry wastes generated includes waste foundry sand, slag, dust and sludge. Usually, these wastes are hazardous to the environment [1][2][3]. For instance, slag containing sulfurous leachate can result in sulfur odor and discoloration of water in poor drainage conditions [4].…”

Ceramics from blast furnace slag, kaolin and quartz

“…Other works examine the possibility to use industrial streams as blast furnace slag, [10][11][12][13][14] MSW ashes, 15,16 other fly ashes [17][18][19][20] and different sludge. 5,21,22 In most cases, these residues are used as inert or plastic materials and the sintering process is related mainly to presence of traditional ceramic fluxes in batches.…”

Partial substitution of feldspar by B.F. slag in triaxial porcelain: Phase and microstructural evolution

“…Formation of cristobalite and gehlenite phases in this type of slag-containing body was also noticed by other authors. 12,20 The weight percentages of quartz and mullite were quantitatively estimated by XRD and their variation with slag content is shown in Fig. 4.…”
