Abstract
The constitution and mineralogy of Indian blast furnace slags were investigated.
Chemical, petrographic and X-ray diffraction methods were followed. All the slags
were high in alumina. Melilite was the most predominant mineral constituent in all
the slags. Other minerals identified were diopside, spinel, oldhamite, enstatite, forsterite
and monticellite. Varying proportions of glass were present in all the slags.
