ActiSlag is a four-year RFCS project with the aim to increase ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) value and extend its field of applications via improving short-term reactivity.
To achieve this goal, we investigated the relationship between slag characteristics (glass structure, microstructure) and slag activation mechanisms (dissolution / hydration).
In this project the two industrial partners – Ecocem and ArcelorMittal – were reinforced with four research laboratories combining their expertise from different fields: civil engineering (LMDC), glass science (TU Clausthal), slag value creation (FEhS) and high-resolution measurements (CNRS-CEMHTI) to reach these objectives.

This webinar is an overview of the work and results achieved over the last four years.
