Recycled Steel Slag as a Porous Adsorbent to Filter Phosphorus-Rich Water with 8 Filtration Circles.

ABSTRACT: Steel slag is a secondary product from steelmaking process through alkaline oxygen furnace or electric arc furnace (EAF). The disposal of steel slag has become a thorny environmental protection issue, and it is mainly used as unbound aggregates, e.g., as a secondary component of asphalt concrete used for road paving. In this study, the characteristics of compacted porous steel slag disc (SSD) and its application in phosphorous (P)-rich water filtration are discussed. The SSD with an optimal porosity of 10 wt% and annealing temperature of 900 °C, denoted as SSD-P (10, 900) meets a compressive strength required by ASTM C159-06, which has the capability of much higher than 90% P removal (with the effluent standard < 4 mg P/L) within 3 h, even after eight filtration times. No harmful substances from SSD have been detected in the filtered water, which complies with the effluent standard ISO 14001. The reaction mechanism for P-rich water filtration is mediated by water, followed by two reaction steps-CaO in SSD hydrolyzed from the matrix of SSD to Ca²⁺ and reacting with PO₄^3-. However, the microenvironment of water is influenced by the pH value of the P-rich water at different filtration times and the kind of P-rich water with different free positive ion that interferes the reactions of the release of Ca²⁺. This study demonstrates the application of circular economy in reducing steel slag deposits, filtering P-rich water, and collecting Ca₃(PO₄)₂ precipitate into fertilizers.

Project description:The interfacial adhesion between asphalt and steel slag aggregate is a decisive factor in the formation of an asphalt-steel slag mixture and significantly affects the quality stability of steel slag-asphalt mixtures. In this study, the adhesion between an asphalt and steel slag aggregate, the interfacial microstructure, the adsorption and desorption characteristics, and chemical reactions were, respectively, explored by a PosiTestAT-A adhesion puller, a scanning electron microscope, a net adsorption test, an infrared spectrometer, and a dynamic shear rheometer. The mechanism of adhesion between the asphalt and steel slag aggregate was analyzed from the perspectives of physical adsorption and chemical reactions. The results showed that different factors had different effects on the adhesion of asphalt-steel slag aggregate interface. The freeze-thaw cycle and steel slag aggregate particle size had significant effects on interfacial adhesion, while the asphalt heating temperature, water bath time, and stirring time had relatively weak effects on interfacial adhesion. Compared to a limestone aggregate, the steel slag-asphalt mixture had greater adhesion and better adhesion performance because the pits and textures on the surface of the steel slag aggregate produced a skeleton-like effect that strengthened the phase strength of the asphalt-slag aggregate interface, thereby improving the adhesion and increasing the physical adsorption between the asphalt and steel slag aggregate. In addition, due to the N-H stretching vibrations of the amines and amides, as well as SiO-H stretching vibrations, a chemical reaction occurred between the asphalt and steel slag aggregate, thus improving the adhesion performance between the asphalt and steel slag. Based on the shape of the adsorption isotherm, it was determined that the adsorption type was multi-molecular layer adsorption, indicating that the adhesion between the asphalt and steel slag mainly involved physical adsorption.
