Iron oxides were recycled from steelmaking slag in the forms of magnetically susceptible compounds by oxidation of molten steelmaking slag in water vapour. In this paper, confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM) was used to observe the crystal precipitating behavior of the CaO-SiO2-FeO-MnO-MgO-Al2O3 melt during the cooling process. With the decrease of slag basicity (CaO/SiO2) from 2.0 to 1.0, the primary phase changed from Ca2SiO4 to Fe3O4. In addition, with the increase of slag basicity from 1.0 to 1.5 to 2.0, the recovery ratio of iron oxide in the slag first increase and then decrease.
