    Abstract:

    Slags produced in the iron and steel industry are highly heterogeneous due to the large variation in types of steel produced, its cooling conditions and aging phenomena.
    The Mexican Steel industry produces more than 3 million tonnes of slags annually. Blast Furnace Slags are fully recycled, however steel slags are dumped into landfills due to the lack of information of the physical and chemical properties. This work reviews the physicochemical properties of steel slags and provides alternatives of recycling for the Mexican Steel industry.

    Keywords:

    recycling, steel slags
