Iron and Steel Slags - Economically & Environmentally Viable For Road & Civil Construction
With ever increasing demand of raw materials for roads and construction leading to rampant reclamation of natural resources, the eco-balance of the environment is under constant strain. Hence, there is an urgent need to preserve the precious natural resources and find newer materials for this purpose. Some of the feasible and economical solutions that have emerged through long research activities are to reuse the industrial process wastes through recycling or reprocessing. Promoting the use of iron and steelmaking slag as replacement of aggregates in roads and civil construction represents an excellent success story consistent with these goals.
