GGBFS Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) The ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is a by-product of iron manufacturing which when added to concrete improves its properties such as workability, strength and durability. This material is obtained by the heating of iron ore, limestone and coke at a temperature about 1500 degree Celsius. The process is carried out in a blast furnace. The formation of GGBFS is not direct. The by-product of iron manufacturing is a molten slag and molten iron. The molten slag consists of alumina and silica, also with the certain amount of oxides. This slag is later granulated by cooling it. For this, it is allowed to pass through a high-pressure water jet. This result in quenching of the particles which results in granules of size lesser than 5mm in diameter. The main constituents of blast furnace slag are CaO, SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO. These are the minerals that are found in most of the cementitious substances. The particles are further dried and ground in a rotating ball mill to form a fine powder, known as ground granulated blast furnace slag cement. Now different methods can be employed to perform the main process called as the quenching. Applications & Benefits of GGBFS: In concrete: The incorporation of ground granulated blast furnace slag in concrete manufacture gains many advantages which are mentioned below: GGBFS in concrete increases the strength and durability of the concrete structure. It reduces voids in concrete hence reducing permeability GGBFS gives a workable mix. It possesses good pumpable and compaction characteristics The structure made of GGBFS constituents help in increasing sulphate attack resistance. The penetration of chloride can be decreased. The heat of hydration is less compared to conventional mix hydration. The alkali-silica reaction is resisted highly. These make the concrete more chemically stable. Gives good surface finish and improves aesthetics. The color is more even and light. Lower chances of efflorescence. The maintenance and repair cost of structures are reduced thus increasing the life cycle of concrete structures. Unlike cement, GGBFS does not produce carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide or nitrogen oxides. White Cement: White Portland Cement is of high quality, whiteness and strength, it essentially has the same properties and characteristics as gray cement, except for color. It is widely used in numerous applications such as precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, terrazzo, median barriers, curbs, tile grout, paint, masonry units, swimming pools, glass fibre reinforced surface bonding mortars.

Features Of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) Granulated Blast Furnace Slag or GBFS is formed when Blast Furnace Slag or BFS is successively at a fast rate quenched from the furnace rather than left for cooling. It has a density of about 60% to 70% that of natural sand. This material has a much increased resistance to sulfate attack. This eventually leads to better performance in countering acids of any type. In GBFS, no type of reaction related to alkali and silica occurs. Also the material provides a huge saving in connection to carbon dioxide emission which is an extra boon. What constitutes GBFS are its properties that consist of durability, appearance, higher ultimate strength than concrete which is made up of Portland cement and high sustainability level of the product made out of this material.

We are proposing about 2000tons of iron slag derived from the desulphurisation skimming process. This material is a iron by- product that is encapsulated in varying levels of contaminants (S,Mg,Si). In order to enhance its usability, the material is processed and screened. We can propose two specifications of Iron Slag - European Code: 19.12.01 - Basel Code: B1010 - HS Code: 2619.0020 - Quantity: 2000 tons currently available - Monthly quantity: 500-1000 tons depending on production - Size: 350 1200 mm - Fe content: from 77 to 86% - C content: above 2,5-3% - Bulk density: 2,8-3,4 tons/m3 - Loading type: loose in 20 (26-27 tons on average) The level of Fe% in the slag has been estimated by water displacement test.
