9th EUROPEAN SLAG CONFERENCE
METZ FRANCE

CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN THE SLAG INDUSTRY:

RELIABLE PRODUCTS - REDUCED COSTS

The European Association representing

metallurgical slag producers and processors
 EUROSLAG is the European association of organisations and companies concerned
with all aspects of manufacturing and utilisation of ferrous slag products. Already
in 1993 an idea to form an international organisation dealing with iron and steel slag matters was
born. The situation with regard to representation of slag interests on the European level was unsa-
tisfying. Representatives of 10 European countries agreed to create a Working Group “Metallurgical
The 8 previous By-Products”.
European Slag
Conference
The successful co-operation within this Working Group led to the formation of EUROSLAG, the

 997 European Slag Association in 2000. EUROSLAG by now has the legal form of a registered association
Marseille (France) and its statutes, which was agreed by all EUROSLAG members in 2004, includes all relevant requi-

Welcome note by the Chairman

Circular Economy in the Slag Industry – reliable Products – reduced Costs

Following this slogan the 9th European Slag Conference is going to take place in Metz from October
11th to 13th, 2017. About 45 million tonnes of ferrous slag are produced in Europe every year and most
of this amount is used in different applications. So slag is a convincing example for resource efficien-
cy and circular economy and we want to show and to proof this once more during the conference.

This conference continues a line of successful slag conferences starting 20 years ago in Marseille.
We expect around 200 participants from 30 countries from Europe and overseas, for their part ex-
pecting 24 presentations concerning production and processing, characterisation and properties,
research and development.

As legislative and political conditions become more and more important we are glad to open the
conference with a round table discussion concerning state of legislation, rules and standards in
Europe. Participants from European Commission and French economy as well as producers and users
of slag products are going to talk about obstacles and chances of slag in circular economy.

The purpose of the 9th European Slag Conference is the exchange of knowledge related to technical
applications, environmental and legal subjects for all kind of ferrous slag. So I am looking forward to
another great conference giving us possibilities to experience from presentations and discussions
and to improve utilisation of ferrous slag in all appropriate situations.

2nd plant tour (Group 2)

8:00 am exactly: departure by bus from ARSENAL Conference Center

12:15 pm: arrival back by bus at the ARSENAL Conference Center

Pont-à-Mousson, France

 he Blast Furnaces of Pont-à-Mousson have been erected

T
in 1856 with the goal to elaborate pig iron out of the iron ore from
the Lorraine mines (Fe content about 30 %).
Since 1980, the iron ore origins are Brazil and
Mauretania. The coke comes from Poland.

Pont-à-Mousson is the world leader
for the fabrication of ductile iron pipes.

There are 3 major types of products
• Pipes for transportation of water as well from
drainage as for drinkable water
• Street plugs
• Rainwater pipes for buildings

The Pont-à-Mousson plant is the largest manufacturer

of pig iron pipes in the world, with 3 blast furnaces
and 3 centrifuging lines for the pipes fabrication.

Ukange, France

MetaFensch is a French publicly funded research centre dedicated to the study of melting and casting.
Founded in 2014 and based in Uckange (eastern France, near the borders with Luxembourg, Germany
and Belgium), MetaFensch collaborates with industrial and academic partners using a state-of-the-art
platform equipped with both pilot- and full-scale melting furnaces.

Various alloys are studied, including titanium, steel, aluminum, and copper, with a particular focus on
incorporating more recycled materials into alloy recipes while maintaining or improving quality.

Our goal is to accelerate the development and industrial deployment of innovative metallurgical
products and processes.

 TECHNICAL VISITS

Société Lorraine d’Agrégats (EUROVIA Group)

Nilvange, France

The first activity of SLAG was the collection and re-treatment of the phosphorous slags

produced by the blast-furnaces in the Lorraine Region, from fresh production at the time
the blast furnaces were still in operation, and from older stockpiles.

F urthermore, SLAG developed useful applications and

markets for these new recycled materials: road construc-
tion, ready-mixed concrete, rockwool, prefabricated ele-
ments (cinder block, pavement…)

So Slag is a major aggregates provider in the Lorraine Re-
gion to the Luxembourg market.

Briquetting & Granulation Equipment
EURAGGLO and the K.R. KOMAREK Group offer a briquetting, compaction and granulation process based
on the technology of roller presses and compactors.

This technology allows the briquetting of steel-mill by-products and many other metal, metal oxides and
mineral materials. This method can be applied to such materials as slags, mill scales, steel grits, mill sludge,
blast furnace sludge, EAF dust and various fines from DRI, ferro-alloys, iron oxide pellets, coal and coke, etc.

The process consists in briquetting steel mill by-products in a roller press to produce briquettes of various
sizes with ovoid or pillow shape, in order to recycle them in the melting process.

Advantages
• A large choice of briquetting press capacity and design (from few tonnes to 60 mtph or more).
• A proven precess: many references of such plants in operation worldwide, in steel mills.
• An experience in different processes
and applications involving different
binders or composition Proposed Services

The FEhS-Institut für Baustoff-Forschung e.V. is the only research institute in the field of ferrous slag
globally. We are associated with the leading steel manufacturers in Europe. Our main business areas are
the applied research on slags with a practical orientation, consulting services on the subject of building
material based on slags as well as their inspection in the construction industry. We make slags a little bit
more sustainable each day – with tradition and modernity. Our scientists stand for reliable and cus-
www.fehs.de tomer-oriented services.

The tasks of the FEhS Institute in its focal areas of research and services include
the testing and monitoring of industrial by-products of the iron and steel industry,
and other construction products. We certify manufacturers, research opportunities
for utilising ferrous slag and smelting works by-products, provide consulting ser-
vices for construction clients, and dispatch experts to national and international
committees for standardisation. The institute finances itself and its projects
through membership fees, publicly subsidised research assignments, testing, mo-
nitoring and certification services, and through consulting activities for members
and external clients in the fields of administration, the construction industry, and
plant technology.

Research focuses
The FEhS Institute conducts work and research on the subject areas of building
materials, fertilisers, secondary raw materials, and slag metallurgy, environment
and transport construction. This is carried out in our own laboratories for the fields
of cement, concrete, chemistry and environment, transport construction, minera-
logy, microscopy and slag metallurgy.

Cooperation arrangements in science and research

In the scientific sector, close cooperation arrangements based on mutuality are in
place with universities and other private and public research institutions, e.g. the
Institute of Building Materials Research of the RWTH Aachen.

Depending on the issues at hand, these are integrated into

the work of the Institute as consultants or partners on pu-
blicly subsidised research projects.
