FERRO-SILICATE SLAG FROM ISF ZINC PRODUCTION AS A SAND REPLACEMENT: A REVIEW

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue within the modern construction industry, and the changing attitude towards secondary materials has encouraged investigation into the use of ferro-silicate slag from the Imperial Smelting Furnace (ISF) production of zinc in construction processes. This paper reviews the current U.K. policies on sustainable construction, particularly with reference to cementitious mixtures in pavement construction, examines the secondary materials currently accepted for use, and discusses the implications for use of ISF slag. Lastly, the paper disseminates the results of recent technical investigations into the use of ISF slag in cementitious mixtures.
