Pavement preventive maintenance is an important tool for extending the service life of the road pavements. Microwave heating seems to be a promising technology for this application, as bituminous materials have the potential to self-repair above a certain temperature. As ordinary asphalt mixture has low microwave absorbing properties, some additives should be used to improve the heating efficiency. In this paper, the effect of adding Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag and Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) on the microwave heating and healing efficiency of asphalt mixtures was evaluated. Microwave heating efficiency was assessed by heating the specimens using several heating times. In addition, the electrical resistivity of the mixtures was measured to understand its possible relationship with the microwave heating process. Furthermore, the healing rates of the asphalt mixtures were assessed by repeated Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) tests. The results obtained indicate that the additions of graphene and EAF slag can allow important savings, up to 50%, on the energy required to perform a good healing process.

Nowadays, the self-healing of asphalt pavements promoted by microwave radiation heating energy is gaining attention and strength in the scientific community. However, most of these studies are only conceptual and, thus, remain shrouded in uncertainty regarding technology development, economy, and application effect. Therefore, there are several efforts underway to offer more effective assisted healing treatments that are capable of overcoming such uncertainties. This paper aims to assess and quantify the healing performance rates (HR) of half-warm recycled asphalt (HWRA) mixtures containing electric arc furnace (EAF) slag and total recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) rates. To this end, a novel assisted thermomechanical healing treatment (i.e., a recompaction-based technique and microwave heating energy) was put forward to promote the potential healing effect of this treatment on the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures. In order to do this, three microwave heating temperatures (25 °C, 60 °C, and 80 °C) and three mechanical recompaction levels (0, 25, and 50 gyrations) were selected. After that, the healing performance rates (%, HR) of the asphalt mixtures were calculated by repeated indirect tensile strength (ITS) and indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM). The results indicated that the 8% EAF slag mixture was found to provide significant microwave heating energy savings by up to 69% compared with the benchmark 100% RAP mixture, and, at the same time, it experienced a remarkable stiffness recovery response of 140% of the initial mechanical properties. These findings encourage greater confidence in promoting this innovative thermomechanical-based healing treatment for in-situ surface course asphalt mixtures of road pavements.

Electric arc furnace (EAF) slag as filter media has been extensively used nowadays for wastewater treatment technology. Steel slag was produced as byproduct from steelmaking processes. However, different batches of steel slag production produce different composition. Thus, this study determined the chemical composition, pH value and points of zero charge (PZC) of two different samples of electric arc furnace (EAF) slag; high iron EAF slag (Slag HFe) and high calcium EAF slag (Slag HCa). The steel slag were characterized using X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) analysis for the chemical composition, extraction with boiling water for pH value, and salt addition method for PZC. Slag HFe was mainly consisted of 38.2% ferric oxide and 20.4% calcium oxide, 10.20 pH value and pH 10.55 for PZC. While for Slag HCa, they were composed of 1.64% ferric oxide and 49.5% calcium oxide of pH value of 11.11 and pH 11.75 for PZC. Therefore, Slag HCa was considered as a more basic species compared to Slag HFe.

Steel slag is one of the most common waste products from the steelmaking industry. Conventional methods of slag disposal can cause negative impacts on humans and the environment. In this paper, the process of steel and steel slag production, physical and chemical properties, and potential options of slag recycling were reviewed. Since steel is mainly produced through an electric arc furnace (EAF) in Malaysia, most of the recycling options reviewed in this paper focused on EAF slag and the strengths and weaknesses of each recycle option were outlined. Based on the reports from previous studies, it was found that only a portion of EAF slag is recycled into more straightforward, but lower added value applications such as aggregates for the construction industry and filter/absorber for wastewater treatments. On the other hand, higher added value recycling options for EAF slag that are more complicated such as incorporated as raw material for Portland cement and ceramic building materials remain at the laboratory testing stage. The main hurdle preventing EAF slag from being incorporated as a raw material for higher added value industrial applications is its inconsistent chemical composition. The chemical composition of EAF slag can vary based on the scrap metal used for steel production. For this, mineral separation techniques can be introduced to classify the EAF slag base on its physical and chemical compositions. We concluded that future research on recycling EAF slag should focus on separation techniques that diversify the recycling options for EAF slag, thereby increasing the waste product’s recycling rate.

Electric Arc Furnace Slag

The European steel industry produces about 70 million tons/year of steel by the electric arc furnace (EAF). The slag consists of about 15% by weight of the produced steel, thus from the perspective of the circular economy, it has a high potential as a co-product. This research aims to assess an innovative reuse of EAF slag as filler in different polymer matrixes: thermoplastic (polypropylene), thermosetting (epoxy resin), elastomeric (nitrile butadiene rubber), and recycled end of life rubber tire. A comparison between neat polymer and polymer filled with a certain amount of EAF slag has been carried out by tensile (or flexural), compression, and hardness tests. Experimental results show that slag as a filler increases the composites’ hardness and elastic modulus at the expense of toughness. For a safe reuse of the slag, the leaching of hazardous elements must comply with current legislation. It was found that, although the used EAF slag releases small amounts of Cr, Mo, and V, incorporating it into a polymer matrix reduces the leaching. The EAF slag particles distribution has been observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The obtained results show good technical feasibility of this innovative slag application so that it could pave the way to a new industrial symbiosis between dissimilar sectors, bringing economic and environmental benefits.
