be used for fertilizer applications. In this paper, we use the term "slag fertilizer" to refer to the fertilizer made from blast furnace slag and steelmaking slag. The content of plant nutrient elements in fertilizers is mostly an-alyzed by the elution test specified in the Fertilizer Analysis Method (1992) 2). Table 1
Compared with the use of natural sand, the use of iron and steel slag for ground improvement can reduce the cost of ground preparation for construction and other uses. Because blast furnace slag includes fertilizer components CaO, SiO 2, and MgO, it is used in rice cultivation as a calcium silicate fertilizer.
Accelerants can effectively enhance the performance of anaerobic digestion (AD) system. The effects of optimized steel slag as accelerant in the AD of cow manure and the fertility utilization of the digestate were investigated. Results show that all steel slags collected from different iron and stee …
Wang et al. investigated the use of steel slag as an iron fertilizer for corn growth and soil improvement in a pot experiment. They showed that mineral uptake by the plants decreased when steel slag above 1% was added to the soil. A lower amount of steel slag (0.2–1%) added to the soil, however, led to increased mineral (Ca, Mg, and ...
As a product of waste steel industries, slags are high in CaO, P2O5, SiO2, MgO, MnO, and Fe oxides, which can be used for fertilizer applications (Wang and Cai 2006;Ning et al. 2016;Das et al. 2020).
The agronomic value of steel slag as a fertilizer or as a material has been evaluated previously [10][11][12]. ... According to the statistic of EURO-SLAG, the usage of steel slag in road ...
This research provides information about the studies and application examples on the use of steel slag as a soil amendment and mineral fertilizer in the world. This usage allows reducing the consumption of natural resources and providing great agricultural, environmental, and economic gain by minimizing the negative environmental effects of ...
The use of steel slag for soil application can potentially decrease GHG emissions in agriculture by increasing active soil carbon (carbon readily available to …
This paper aimed to discuss the use of steel slag in agr iculture as fertilizer, lime and ameliorant in the soils. The content o f elements and compounds in steel slag is the basic component for
The results show that steel slag is rich in Ca, Mg, P, Si, micronutrients, and low in heavy metals. The steel slag application for rice plants on Latosol and ASS show a positive effect. Rice production on soil with steel slag addition is higher than control. The optimum doses of steel slag are 6 tons/ha for Latosol and 9 tons/ha for ASS.
Current total productions of steel slag in India, are around 12 million tonnes per annum (Indian Minerals Yearbook, May 2016), which is far behind the developed countries. Presently in India, due to limited modes of practices of utilization, huge amount of iron and steel slag dumped in yards of each production unit and engaging of important ...
This study aimed to observe the use of steel slag in agriculture as fertilizer, lime and ameliorant in the soils. The method used was the experimental design used steel slag …
Steel slag fertilizer was applied at a rate of 200 and 400 g m −2, which led to an increased yield of about 8% for the rice planted compared with the rice planted without the slag fertilizer application; this increase extended another 4% when the applied amount of slag was doubled (Gao et al., 2015). Steel slag, however, contains trace ...
In general, use steel slag accelerant in the AD system is an effective strategy not only for realizing the resource utilization but also for achieving hazard-free treatment of waste (steel slag and cow manure). 4. Conclusions. The use of steel slag accelerants in AD systems considerably improve biogas production and COD degradation rate.
