Review of 16th Global Slag Conference 2024

Joe Harder of OneStone Consulting started the event with an overview of trends in the global slag industry. Only 40 countries produce iron. The traditional means of producing pig iron, using blast furnace (BF) technology, is slowly changing, partly due to the intensity of CO 2 production. Directly reduced iron (DRI) production may amount to ...

Slag industry news from Global Slag

Finland: Boliden says it has a developed a 95% reduced-CO 2 alternative cement production process based on the use of slag.
