Abstract

A powder of a slag formed at the time of manufacturing steel is used to remove heavy metals contained in waste water. After the use the slag may be heated to recover the heavy metals adsorbed thereby or the used slag may be formed into solid blocks, ballast or aggregate by admixing with Portland cement or alumina cement.
