Zhang, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)The effect of slag of different origins (synthetic slag produced in the laboratory and commercial slag collected from different steel factories) with comparable chemical composition, amorphous content and particle size distribution, on the hydration characteristics of slag cement was investigated. In order to study the effect of sulfur in...journal article 2022

Zhang, Y. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)In this paper, both synthetic slag and commercial slag covering the common composition range were employed to estimate the correlation between slag chemistry and reactivity through hydraulicity and dissolution tests. It was found that slag reactivity was favorably affected by increasing Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and MgO contents, while the...journal article 2022
