Basic oxygen furnace slag (BOF slag) is a solid waste arisen from the steel making process. FeO is one of the major components of BOF slag. The FeO-containing property of BOF slag makes it possible to catalyze the Fenton reaction. Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye is chosen as the target compound in this study. This study has investigated the catalytic performance of BOF slag on the Fenton reaction to decompose RB5 in aqueous solution. A first-order kinetic model with respect to TOC was adopted to explain the mineralization of RB5 by the H(2)O(2)/BOF slag process. The experimental results in this study suggested that dosage with 1.49 x 10(-4)M min(-1) H(2)O(2) and 12.5 g l(-1) BOF slag in the solution at pH 2 provided the optimal operation conditions for the mineralization of RB5 yielding a 51.2% treatment efficiency at 100 min reaction time, and complete decoloration can be achieved within 30 min reaction time. The H(2)O(2)/Fe(2+) ratio was then determined to be 6.06:1.

The scarcity of conventional aggregates with tremendous growth in highway construction and the indiscriminate dumping of industrial waste materials in precious landfills has become a huge global concern. This study is aimed at utilizing wastes from various industries, including coalmine overburden (OB) dump, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag, and fly ash to produce suitable and sustainable cement-treated subbase/base course layers (CBSB/CTB) for flexible pavement construction. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the composition of the blended material considering unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and Poisson's ratio.

- The study examines how adding varying amounts of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag affects the mechanical properties of warm-mixed rubber asphalt (WMRA) and hot-mixed rubber asphalt (HMRA).
- Different proportions of BOF slag were tested (0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%), alongside a warm-mixed modifier (Sasobit) to evaluate performance through static and dynamic mechanical tests.
- Results showed that BOF slag improves asphalt resistance to deformation and cracking, particularly when combined with Sasobit, indicating its potential to enhance rubber asphalt mixtures' durability and expand the use of industrial waste materials.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzes the use of steel sludge and slag as substitutes for natural sand in cement mortars, addressing environmental concerns related to metallurgical waste from steel production and the potential leaching of harmful metal ions.
- - A Full Quadratic Response Surface Model (RSM) was used to assess the optimal replacement levels of sand with 0-20% of each waste type, revealing that while there are slight reductions in consistency and mechanical strength, mortars still show enhanced frost resistance and minimal environmental impact.
- - Incorporating a 40% mixture of sludge and slag allows significant sand conservation in mortar production, resulting in cost savings and promoting more sustainable construction practices, which is beneficial for a circular economy.
Evaluating the efficacy of biogeochemical cover system in mitigating landfill gas emissions: A large-scale laboratory simulation.

Article Synopsis
- Municipal solid waste landfills are a major source of methane emissions, contributing to global warming, and current management methods are not fully effective in preventing these emissions.* -
- An innovative biogeochemical cover (BGCC) combines a biochar-based layer for oxidizing methane with a BOF steel slag layer to reduce carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide emissions.* -
- Field performance of the BGCC has not been studied, so a large-scale tank setup tested its effectiveness, revealing that methane removal efficiency varied based on gas influx rates, reaching up to 79.7% under moderate conditions.*

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how well a biogeochemical cover (BGCC) system could reduce methane (CH) and sequester carbon dioxide (CO) from landfill gas emissions using a tank setup with three layers: biochar-amended soil for CH oxidation, BOF slag for CO and hydrogen sulfide capture, and topsoil.
- - Five phases of synthetic landfill gas were tested in terms of different compositions and flow rates, with the system later dismantled for analysis of moisture, organic content, pH, and electrical conductivity across various depths.
- - Results showed that CH oxidation rates in the biochar layer varied significantly, with higher levels near the surface, while the BOF slag had a residual carbonation capacity indicating uneven CO
