Abstract

Promoted by carbon neutrality and solid iste policies, iron- and steelmaking iste slag (ISWS)-based glass-ceramics have drawn attention because of their contribution to achieving the net-zero carbon emissions goal for the iron- and steelmaking industry. However, a holistic estimation of the preparation, property and GHG (greenhouse gas) emission abatement of ISWS-based glass-ceramics is still under exploration. In this paper, research progress on preparing glass-ceramics from ISWS discharged from the traditional iron- and steelmaking industry is reviewed. Then, the influence of ISWS’s chemical characteristics on the preparation of glass-ceramics and the products’ performance are discussed. In addition, the potential of GHG emission reduction related to the promotion of ISWS-based glass-ceramics is measured. It is found that ISWS-based glass-ceramics can avoid 0.87–0.91 tons of CO 2 emissions compared to primary resource routes. A scenario simulation is also conducted. If the technology could be fully applied in the ironmaking and steelmaking industries, the results suggest that 2.07 and 0.67 tons of indirect CO 2 reductions can be achieved for each ton of crude steel production from blast furnace–basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) and electric arc furnace (EAF) routes, respectively. Finally, a “dual promotion” economic mode based on national policy orientation and the high demands on metallurgical iste slag (MWS)-based glass-ceramics is proposed, and the application prospects of MWS-based glass-ceramics are examined. These application prospects will deepen the fundamental understanding of glass-ceramic properties and enable them to be compounded with other functional materials in various new technologies.
