SSAB and Saint-Gobain’s unique joint project in Raahe to utilize ladle slag moves forward
Saint-Gobain and SSAB are building a circular economy process that will turn side streams from SSAB’s steelmaking into low-carbon binders for Saint-Gobain Weber’s dry mortars. A slag processing plant, where high-value binders to replace cements will be made from slag created in steelmaking, will complete in Raahe in The process means the carbon footprint of binders is as much as 90% less compared to traditional cements.
The process is the first of its kind in the world and will enable % of the slag created in SSAB’s steelmaking process to be recycled. Saint-Gobain and SSAB have been developing the process together for five years.
“When we studied SSAB’s manufacturing process, we noticed that the end step in the processing of special steel has similarities to the production of special cement. We can replace the slag created as a side stream of steel cleaning to replace, for example, the special cement used in Weber dry mortars,” says Gunnar Lauren, Senior R&D Manager at Saint-Gobain Finland.
The slag processing plant is a resource-efficient, circular economy project, which will
