Abstract: The precipitation process of minerals in modified blast furnace slag was simulated with Factsage software. The crystallization process of modified blast furnace slag was studied by using differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) techniques. Based on the DSC curves, the crystallization activation energy was calculated by using Kissinger equation, Ozawa equation and Augis-Bennett equation. The crystal growth index n was calculated by using Augis-Bennett equations and the crystallization mechanism was also determined. The results show that with the increasing of heating rate, the modified blast furnace slag is changed from three-dimensional volume crystallization to surface crystallization. For the modified blast furnace slag of Mk=1.3 and 1.4, the main precipitations are gehlenite and akermanite, and the crystallization activation energies are 469kJ/mol, 471kJ/mol (Tp1), 393kJ/mol (Tp2), respectively.

Key words: modified blast furnace slag, crystallization activation energy, crystal growth index, acidity coefficient, kinetics
