India’s leading steel maker JSW Steel has dedicated Steel Slag Sand plant to the nation at JSW Steel Vijayanagar Works On the occasion of World Environment Day. The commissioned unit of 0.30 million tonne per annum capacity is one of its kind in the world, equipped with value added technology, which will not only mitigate the slag disposal problem but also provides low cost eco friendly sand for construction purposes. The Research & Development team of JSW Steel Vijayanagar Works has developed this sustainable process for converting steel making slag into sand to replace river sand for its extensive usage in civil construction. This new steel slag sand also offers an eco-friendly alternative to river sand. This patented process circuit treats crushed slag through a vertical shaft impactor and a classifier after metallic separation.The use of slag as aggregate reduces the need for virgin material, energy and polluting emissions generated during the mining,/crushing, processing and transportation of that material. Effective utilization of this material will have a tremendous economic impact, conservation of natural resources and gainful recycling of process by-products.
