Iron Slag: A Valuable Step Towards Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection with Kavian East of Asia Steel

Kavian Steel Complex of East Asia , as one of the pioneers of the steel industry in the country, provides its customers with a wide range of high-quality steel products, including steel billets, iron slag, and slag cement.

• What is iron slag?

Iron slag is a type of waste produced during the steelmaking process and is composed of impurities found in iron ore. Due to their lower density, these impurities rise to the surface of the molten material during the melting of iron ore in the furnace and, after cooling, form solid and bulky masses.

• Constituents of iron slag:

Iron slag at Kavian Steel is composed of various compounds such as silicates, metal oxides, and limestone. Compared to pure metal, these compounds have a lower density and therefore rise to the surface of the molten material during melting.

• Applications of Kavian Steel iron slag:

1. Road construction: Iron slag is used as a raw material in the production of asphalt surfacing materials, helping to increase the strength and durability of roads.
2. Cement production: Iron slag is one of the raw materials in the production of Portland cement, which is used in construction and concrete casting.
3. Agriculture: Iron slag is used as a soil conditioner in agriculture and helps to increase soil fertility and drainage.
4. Steel industry: Iron slag is used as scrap in the steelmaking process, reducing the consumption of raw materials and conserving natural resources.

• Benefits of using Kavian Steel iron slag:

1. Affordable price: Compared to new raw materials, iron slag is significantly cheaper, making it more economical to use in various projects.
2. High strength: Due to its composition, iron slag has high strength and durability and can be used in various constructions.
3. Recyclability: Iron slag is fully recyclable and can be reused in the steelmaking process. This helps to conserve natural resources and reduce waste.
4. Versatility: Iron slag is used in various industries such as road construction, cement production, agriculture, and the steel industry.
