A method of manufacturing inorganic binder by reduction furnace slag includes a raw material preparation step, a stirring step, a maintaining step and a drying step. The raw material preparation step is to provide a powder mixture containing 30 wt % to 55 wt % of reduction furnace slag, and 45 wt % to 70 wt % of glass powder. The stirring step is to place the powder mixture in a mixing tank, and add an alkali activator to the mixing tank to stir and react to form mixed slurry. The alkali equivalent (AE) of the mixed slurry is 2% to 7%, and the water-binder ratio is 0.25 to 0.4. The maintaining step is to place the mixed slurry in a high-temperature and high pressure maintaining environment for a maintaining time to get a binder. The drying step is to dry the binder.

The present disclosure is related to the field of steel slag treatment, and in particular to a process for stabilizing steel slag, the process comprising subjecting the steel slag to an autoclave treatment by use of a high temperature and pressure saturated vapor at a pressure of 2.0 MPa or above. The process provides the slag with reliable volume stability and makes it possible to meet desired requirements of various building materials. Additionally, the process is low cost, non-polluting, and of very high industrial value.

An aqueous solution containing 30 ppm or more of carbon dioxide is brought into contact with a steel-making slag to elute phosphorus and calcium contained in the steel-making slag into the aqueous solution. Subsequently, carbon dioxide is removed from the aqueous solution to precipitate a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound. In this manner, a mixture comprising a phosphorus compound and a calcium compound and containing phosphorus in an amount of 1% by mass or more in terms of phosphorus atom content can be produced.
