Sažetak
Due to growing environmental awareness, as well as stricter regulations on managing industrial waste, the world is increasingly turning to researching properties of industrial waste and finding solutions on using its valuable component parts so that those might be used as secondary raw material in other industrial branches. Although metallurgical slag is still today considered waste and is categorized in industrial waste catalogues in most countries in the world, it is most definitely not waste, neither by its physical and chemical properties not according to data on its use as valuable material for different purposes. Moreover, since the earliest times of the discovery and development of processes of iron and other metals production, slag as by-product is used for satisfying diverse human needs, from the production of medicines and agro-technical agents to production of cement and construction elements. This paper demonstrates the possibilities of using slag as one small part of industrial waste arising from the metallurgical processes of iron and steel production. Considering the specificity of physical and chemical properties of metallurgical slags and a series of possibilities for their use in other industrial branches, this paper pays special attention to slag significant trough the history and its using in the road construction.
