Quick and precise analysis of major and minor components of slag samples prepared as pressed pellets

This application note shows that the Epsilon 3^X is capable of analyzing MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, P2O5, S, K2O, CaO, TiO2, MnO and Fe in slag samples.

Slag is a by-product of iron and steel making processes. It is formed during the fluxing process used to remove the non-ferrous constituents of the blast furnace charge. Slag is an important raw material in cement and construction industry.
