<p>The invention relates to a method for preparing a hydraulically settable cement base material starting from steel slags formed in a steel-making process, which method comprises the formation, in steel slags in the liquid state, of a ferrite gradient by adding a ferrite-precipitating compound, the separation, if required, of the high-ferrite fraction formed, the separation of at least the low-ferrite fraction formed, the cooling and the comminution thereof to obtain a hydraulically settable material. The ferrite-precipitating compound used has preferably acid components, and can expediently generate silicic acid. At least before the cooling of the low-ferrite fraction, the aluminium content of the liquid slag material is regulated by the addition of an aluminate-containing material, such as bauxite. The high-ferrite fraction separated can be returned to the steel-making process to reduce or remove the addition of a flux in the production of steel.</p> |
