waste slag from blast furnaces is used for road surfacing.
Yes that Cracker welded the slag Hammer>
Slag purifies and removes unwanted materials from metal. Optimization is the application of foams and other agents to enable a higher quality and stabilized slag to produce a higher quality metal product. Efforts are made to achieve an optimum slag viscosity by the fixation of basicity and temperature.
Slag is the residue left on a weld bead from the flux. It shields the hot metal from atmospheric contaminants that may weaken the weld joint. Slag can also be globules of molten metal that are expelled from the joint and then re solidify on the metal surface. in either case, they are usually chipped away with a slag hammer.
Concrete is made from cement and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, coarse aggregate made of crushed stone, fine aggregate such as sand, water, and chemical admixtures. For more information please visit the related link.
Yes it can, you can buy a sort of funnel with about 1 sq. ft. of fine screen in it to filter the junk out of the blasting media. I reuse mine until it just quits cutting or gets so fine that it blows away. The funnel is available from Northern tool. I forget what they call it, not a funnel. Look on their website. I assume you wear a high quality breathing mask and have a good hood to cover your head and neck, there is free silica in real sand, as well as in some of the slag products.
After degating and heat treating, sand or other molding media may adhere to the casting. To remove this the surface is cleaned using a blasting process. This means a granular media will be propelled against the surface of the casting to mechanically knock away the adhering sand. The media may be blown with compressed air, or may be hurled using a shot wheel. The media strikes the casting surface at high velocity to dislodge the molding media (for example, sand, slag) from the casting surface. Numerous materials may be used as media, including steel, iron, other metal alloys, aluminium oxides, glass beads, walnut shells, baking powder among others. The blasting media is selected to develop the color and reflectance of the cast surface. Terms used to describe this process include cleaning, bead blasting, and sand blasting. Shot peening may be used to further work-harden and finish the surface.
It is a mixture - partially metallic and partially non-metallic

Sand is small particles of rock and minerals or other materials, such as coral or slag, and is not defined by its composition but rather by the size of its particles.
Slags are basically artificial silicates of varying formula. The is no overall formula for slag because it is dependent on the ingredients used and just what is being smelted. For example slag from iron smelting is different than from copper smelting. The most important aspects of slags are that they contain all the unwanted materials while allowing an economic separation of the valuable constituents of the ore. The chemistry of a given slag depends on the waste components of the ore plus the fluxes used to slag them off.
because a thin-protective layer of slag is formed over the molten metal
Add silica in anode furnace it will make lead silicate and skim out with anode slag

Coke is not used to oxidize the slag . It is carbon that is used to oxidize slag.
its still called slag
Copper Smelting Process:First the ore is enriched by a process called flotation. Powdered ore is mixed water as a slurry and then further mixed with oil and a chemical called amyl xanthate. Compressed air is then blown through the mixture. The flotation process is dependent on pine oil droplets (Pine oil is just an example.) The less dense copper sulphide particles are carried to the top and are skimmed off.The next step carried out in an oxygen flash furnace is heated using natural gas to a high temperature. Next added is limestone and sand, and fresh copper ore concentrate is blown into the furnace with oxygen. It is heated and the combustion with oxygen is endothermic.The silicone dioxide in the sand reacts with the limestone and part of the ore (often iron oxide) to form slag. At the same time another element (often sulphur) melts and flows out of the bottom of the furnace. The slag is less dense and floats on the top.The copper matte,(product of the previous step) is run into a converter furnace, where air containing oxygen is blown through the copper matte to oxidize the ions. At the same time some of the ions reduce the copper ions to impure blister copper metal. A final heating in an anode furnace is used to burn off the remaining oxygen.The final step is the conversion of the impure copper to pure copper. This is done by electrolysis where the impure copper is made into the anode electrode and the pure copper is formed at the cathode electrode.
