Laboratory treatment tests of AOD slag from stainless steelmaking have been performed by MiMeR. An induction furnace was used for slag reduction tests. The reduced slag was either water granulated or cooled in an Al2O3 crucible. Metal droplets, suitable for recycling as metallic materials in the steelmaking, were recovered after the slag granulation. Characterizations of slag samples from the tests show considerable influences of the treatments on physical and mineralogical properties of the slag. Some other possible methods for treatments and utilization of the slag were also discussed.
