This material is most suitable for use with iron or steel slag, such as that <br>which comes from a blast furnace or a steel-making process. The powdery silica-based solidification material <br>mixed with iron and steel slag can be expected to exhibit higher mechanical strength and more predominant <br>characteristics than a powdery cement-based solidification material. In this study, the solidification mechanism <br>for the mixture of the silica-based solidification material, blast furnace slag and water is clarified from the <br>viewpoints of chemistry and mineralogy by conducting X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray fluorescence <br>spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy.</p> ER -
