Book Description
The mining industry is potentially the largest market in Northern Ontario for cement manufactured using granulated slag from Algoma Steel Corporation Ltd. in Sault Ste. Marie. A testing program was conducted in 1986 to evaluate ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) from Algoma Steel Corporation for possible use as an additive to mine backfill. The evaluation was based on compressive strength tests conducted at the laboratories of INCO Ltd., Falconbridge Ltd., Noranda Inc. - Geco Division, and Kidd Creek Mines Ltd., as well as at an independent laboratory. The objective was to evaluate GGBFS from the Reiss Lime Company of Canada for possible use as an additive to mine backfill.
