The green sand, slag and&nbsp;particulate material presented, in their chemical composition, the major&nbsp;presence of SiO<sub>2</sub>, followed by Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>O and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. The mineralogical analysis</div><div>revealed the presence of quartz in all residues and hematite in the slag.These three residues had particle sizes ranging from 0.002 to 0.6 mm. It was&nbsp;identified that the residues have great potentiality of use in the production</div><div>of cement, concrete as material of the sub-base layer of pavements.</div> ER -
