Industrial waste materials
Industrial waste materials used in this experiment
QIT Red Dust :
QIT stands for Quebec Iron and Titanium. QIT owns an ilmenite mine in northeastern Quebec.
The ore is shipped to Tracy where it is processed into titanium dioxide slags, iron, steel billets
and steel autoparts. This dust comes from the dust collecting system of the steelmelting department
and has the following general formula:
FE2O3 85%
SIO2 5.0%
CAO 5.0%
MGO 1.0%
ZNO 2.0%
CARBON 2.0%
TOTAL 100%
It was 170 mesh sieved.
A theoritical substitution is as follows for each 1% of the stuff :
Red Iron Oxide 0.820
Silica 0.050
Whiting 0.060
Dolomite 0.050
Zinc oxide 0.020
Total 1.000
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slater Dust :
Slater Steels owns a steel plant in Sorel-Tracy by the name of Les Forges de Sorel, a maker of special alloyed steels often used by the nuclear industry, makers of tools and surgical instruments.
This material comes from the anti-pollution system of the steel melting department.
Slater Dust has the following general analysis :
SiO2 5.21%
Fe2O3 46.95
CaO 10.85
MgO 2.91
ZnO 30.68
PbO 3.39
Also small amounts of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, cadmium,
and manganese.
A possible substitution for 1% of this stuff is as follows :
Dolomite .135
Whiting .120
Lead bisilicate .052
Zinc oxide (calc.) .310
Silica .034
Red Iron Oxide .470
Total 1.121
