Green Chemistry from Slag #worldresearchawards #researchaward #researcher #chemicalinnovation
Steel slag, once considered a low-value industrial by-product, is now emerging as a powerful resource in the fields of energy, materials science, and green chemistry. Generated during steel manufacturing, slag contains valuable metal oxides such as calcium, silicon, iron, and magnesium—elements that can be repurposed for sustainable applications. This video explores how innovative technologies are transforming steel slag from industrial waste into a driver of clean power and chemical production.
One of the most promising applications of steel slag lies in carbon capture and utilization. Due to its high calcium and magnesium content, slag can react with carbon dioxide to form stable carbonates, effectively locking away greenhouse gases. This process not only reduces industrial emissions but also converts waste into environmentally beneficial materials.
In addition, researchers are discovering ways to extract valuable metals and synthesize useful chemicals from slag through advanced processing techniques. Steel slag can also be used in energy storage materials, catalysts, and as a precursor for construction products like eco-friendly cement and road materials. Its thermal and chemical properties make it suitable for waste-to-energy systems and high-performance engineering applications.
By integrating steel slag recycling into circular economy models, industries can significantly reduce environmental impact while generating economic value. What was once discarded is now becoming a cornerstone of sustainable innovation.
