Current total productions of steel slag in India, are around 12 million tonnes per annum (Indian Minerals Yearbook, May 2016), which is far behind the developed countries. Presently in India, due to limited modes of practices of utilization, huge amount of iron and steel slag dumped in yards of each production unit and engaging of important agricultural land and grave pollution to whole environment. An efficient approach to overcome these problems is the slag utilization. Physical and chemical characterization of steel slag is a deciding factor of steel slag utilization as recycled raw material as road aggregate, cement and concrete admixture, soil stabilizer and construction materials, etc. This review presents utilization trends of steel slag and possible potentials for large-scale employment of steel slag in Indian context.
