pH Due to the effects of the limestone it contains, the pH of iron and steel slag increases to 10 – 12 when it reacts with water, indicating alkalinity that is the same or lower than that of recycled concrete base course material and cement-stabilized soil.

Steel slag is a byproduct from either the conversion of iron to steel in a basic oxygen furnace, or the melting of scrap to make steel in an electric arc furnace. This paper reviews the production, processing, and characteristics of steel slag, and its use as a cementing component in different
