| The constitution and mineralogy of Indian open hearth and L. D. slags were investigated.
Chemical, petrographic and X-ray diffraction methods were followed. All
the slags were high in CaO. {3-dicalcium silicate, wustite and nagelschmidtite were the
predominant mineral phases present. Other phases identified were dicalcium ferrite,
tricalcium silicate, monticellite, and brownmillerite. Metallic iron occurred in varying
proportions in all the slags. Free lime was present only in L. D. slags. |
