Iron and steelmaking slag are byproducts of the ironmaking
and steelmaking processes. To date, these types
of slag have been widely used in cement and as aggregate
for civil works. This paper introduces new products
developed by the JFE Steel Group as materials for
improvement of coastline and coastal marine environments,
including an environment-friendly block “Ferroform,”
which is made mainly from slag and absolutely
free from natural aggregate, a sand capping material
made from granulated blast furnace slag, and a large
carbonated slag block, “Marine Block,” made from
steelmaking slag, and a water-retaining pavement material
which mitigates the urban heat island phenomenon. |
