Treated slag makes the strongest concrete

Australia: A paper published in the journal Resources, Conservation and Recycling has reported that concrete made with treated slag is 8% stronger than standard slag concrete and 17% stronger than concrete made with conventional aggregates. A Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) team produced treated slag concrete using slag that had absorbed phosphate, magnesium, iron, calcium, silica and aluminium during use in wastewater treatment. Researcher Biplob Pramanik said, “The things that we want to remove from water are actually beneficial to concrete.” Pramanik said that the findings have promising implications for the water and concrete sectors within the circular economy.
