Electric arc furnace (EAF) slags were investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. A slag sample characterised by well-developed crystalline phases was obtained. The EDXS elemental composition made it possible to recognize the grains corresponding to the brownmillerite, larnite and magnesioferrite phases, as identified by XRD in the same powdered sample. The grains were collected and analysed by μ-Raman spectra, and the results showed good reproducibility in each grain and good agreement with spectra of the phases reported in the literature. A Raman database devoted to crystalline phases of EAF slag identification was created to be used by portable Raman instruments, allowing the phase characterisation of the slag directly during steel production.

Abstract
Electric arc furnace (EAF) slags were investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. A slag sample characterised by well-developed crystalline phases was obtained. The EDXS elemental composition made it possible to recognize the grains corresponding to the brownmillerite, larnite and magnesioferrite phases, as identified by XRD in the same powdered sample. The grains were collected and analysed by μ-Raman spectra, and the results showed good reproducibility in each grain and good agreement with spectra of the phases reported in the literature. A Raman database devoted to crystalline phases of EAF slag identification was created to be used by portable Raman instruments, allowing the phase characterisation of the slag directly during steel production.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
