Abstract

A variety of solid wastes are produced from various industries. Their composition and characteristics are very different due to the differences in raw materials use, production process and collection technologies. This presentation will introduce the production and classification of a variety of waste materials, but focus on waste glasses and steel slag from steel making processes. Their chemical composition and mineralogical characteristics will be discussed and compared with other solid wastes. Their application as supplementary cementitious materials in cement and concrete will be demonstrated in detail. It is very evident that their most valuable uses as cement replacements in the production of low-carbon cement and concrete.
