Ferrous industry slag is waste product of all steelmaking manufactures. These materials should be reused or stocked. There is abundant literature on the subject of reuse and recycling of blast furnace(BF), basic oxygen furnace(BOF), electric arc furnace(EAF). However, due to the fact that ladle furnaces(LF) have only been constructed in significant numbers since the 1980's, the relatively low slag volume in comparison to the other slags and also the high variability in slag chemistry, very few papers have been published on the recycling of ladle slag as separate materials.

Studies reveal that there is significant percent calcium aluminate in ladle …
