Proper standard needs to be evolved in order to facilitate the usage of slag. Industries should take necessary action for complete utilisation of slag.Promoting awareness and usage needs to be done at different level.
Slag is associated with problems of downstream processing of leach liquors due to formation of silica gel which is a result of higher silica dissolution at acidic pH. Therefore, most preferably biological methods can be preferred to acid leaching methods.
The Tata Group recognised the need to protect and conserve the world's natural resources long before it became a mantra of modern business. See how Tata companies are recycling and utilising their waste in innovative ways.There are roughly three types of waste that are left behind namely; blast furnace slag (BF), BF flue dust and BF Sludge, with LD slag, mill scale, fly and bottom ash from the power plants. BF slag is used in cement making, in the manufacture of slag wool, soil conditioner, aggregate manufacture and road construction.
