The steel company Qatar Steel, located in the United Arab Emirates, has signed a sale and recycling slag contract with Slag Aggregate Producer (SAP), located in Doha, UAE.
As part of the contract, Qatar Steel will sell to SAP 1 million tons of slag as steel wastes. SAP will process, recover the scrap and return the recovered scrap to Qatar Steel’s steel mill in Jabal, UAE, where it will be recycled back into end products. The aggregate will be used in construction and infrastructure works, including rebar and wire rod.
SAP is expected to process around 100,000 tons of slag a month.
According to a release, Ali Bin Hassan Al-Murakhi, director of general manager of Qatar Steel, the recycling and processing of slag has many environmental advantages, including the reduction of slag disposed of as solid waste.
