ADVANCING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR STEEL:

The ARC Research Hub

for Australian Steel

Innovation

The ARC Research Hub for Australian Steel Innovation (Steel Research Hub) represents a major collaborative effort to secure the future of Australia’s steel manufacturing industry.

This five-year, $28 million research program (2021–2025) has focused on enabling a transition to a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient steel sector through the development of advanced manufacturing processes and higher-value steel products.

A globally competitive domestic steel industry is not only central to Australia’s economic growth and employment but also to achieving national sustainability and circular economy goals - areas that strongly align with the interests of the Australasian (Iron & Steel) Slag Association (ASA) and its members.

Led by the University of Wollongong, the Steel Research Hub brings together nine leading Australian universities - RMIT, ANU, Swinburne University of Technology, University of Newcastle, Deakin University, University of Sydney, UNSW, and Monash University - alongside ten core industry partners: BlueScope, Infrabuild (Manufacturing and Wire), Liberty Primary Steel, ArcelorMittal, Australian Steel Institute, Bisalloy, Weld Australia, Australian Industry Group and the National Association of Steel-Framed Housing & Australian Steel Mill Services.

Together, this network of academic and industry expertise is driving innovative research designed to enable a technological transformation across the steel supply chain—one that embraces circular resource use, reduces emissions, and increases process efficiency.

The Hub’s multidisciplinary team includes around 20 Postdoctoral Research Fellows and 30 PhD candidates, working across four integrated research programs.

These programs focus on:

• Integrating advanced enabling technologies in both large and small steel enterprises;

• Delivering breakthrough improvements in anti-corrosion treatments and coating processes;

• Creating more functional, durable, and resource-efficient steel products; and

• Enhancing sustainability through improved material utilisation and waste recovery.

For ASA members and stakeholders, the work of the Steel Research Hub demonstrates the growing intersection between steel innovation and by-product valorisation. As the industry seeks to maximise resource efficiency and explore new applications for by-products such as slag, research collaborations of this nature are vital in supporting a low-carbon, circular steel ecosystem.

Through these coordinated efforts, the ARC Steel Research Hub is not only strengthening Australia’s industrial and research capabilities but also laying the groundwork for a more sustainable, innovative and globally competitive steel future.

17TH GLOBAL SLAG CONFERENCE RECAP Innovations and Research Across the Industry

The 17th Global Slag Conference was held in Vienna on 25–26 June 2025, drawing 140 delegates from 36 countries to review new research and technologies in iron and steel slags.

Across 20 technical presentations, two days of networking, and eight Global Slag Awards, the event underscored the growing role of slag in sustainable construction, resource efficiency, and industrial innovation. The next conference—the 18th Global Slag Conference— will take place in Istanbul, Türkiye, on 15–16 April 2026.

The conference opened with a comprehensive overview of the European slag landscape, highlighting the region’s transition toward greener steelmaking. As the European steel industry advances its decarbonisation strategies, the production of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) is expected to decline, while output from electric arc furnace (EAF) and direct reduced iron (DRI) processes will increase— creating both challenges and opportunities for slag management and utilisation.

Research presentations explored methods to enhance slag reactivity and performance, including innovations in water granulation, quartz treatments, and pilot-scale projects such as Sabine and WAGEOS2SHS (which transforms water-granulated EAF slag into black GBS). Early results indicate promising latent hydraulic properties, though further investigation is needed to assess long-term durability in concrete applications. Panel discussions addressed the need for a global mindset shift—viewing slag not as waste, but as a valuable product or co-product within the circular economy.

A number of industry case studies were shared, including insights from Hyundai Steel, which presented long-term trials using GBFS, BOF, and EAF slags in concrete and aggregates. These studies showed improved durability, chloride resistance, and corrosion protection, while also addressing volume stability issues in BOF slag through fine grinding techniques. Additional research highlighted the use of slag as a filler in polymer and rubber composites, demonstrating enhanced mechanical performance and reduced environmental impact.

The technical sessions showcased advancements in grinding, activation, and granulation technologies, as well as carbon dioxide removal using steel slags. Presentations also examined large-scale slag processing, recovery of valuable metals such as zinc, and the conversion of EAF slag into GBFS-type materials for cementitious use—further expanding slag’s potential applications in sustainable materials.

The Global Slag Awards recognised excellence across the sector, with Swecem named Company of the Year, Ecocem’s Dunkerque Plant awarded Slag Plant of the Year, Karbonetiq receiving Technical Innovation of the Year, and Titan honoured as Slag User of the Year. These awards reflected the breadth of innovation and collaboration shaping the global slag industry.

Delegates commended the event’s international scope, professional organisation, and strong networking opportunities. A postconference tour of the Voestalpine Leoben steelworks provided a live demonstration of steel tapping and slag granulation, bringing to life many of the technologies discussed throughout the conference.

Overall, the 17th Global Slag Conference reinforced the vital role of slag in sustainable construction, industrial efficiency, and environmental stewardship. With ongoing research and collaboration across the global steel value chain, slag continues to prove its importance as a cornerstone material in the transition to a low-carbon, circular economy.

NEW STEEL RECYCLING METHODS TO CUT INDUSTRY FOOTPRINT

University of Toronto engineering researchers have developed a new way to recycle steel that has the potential to decarbonise a range of manufacturing industries and promote a circular steel economy.

The method is outlined in a new paper published in Resources, Conservation & Recycling and co-authored by Jaesuk (Jay) Paeng, William Judge and Professor Gisele Azimi. It introduces an innovative oxysulfide electrolyte for electrorefining, an alternative way of removing copper and carbon impurities from molten steel. The process also generates liquid iron and sulphur as by-products.Currently, only 25% of steel produced comes from recycled material. But the global demand for a greener steel is projected to grow over the next two decades as governments around the world endeavour to achieve netzero emission goals.

STEEL CREATION

Steel is created by reacting iron ore with coke — a prepared form of coal — as the source of carbon and blowing oxygen through the metal produced. Current standard processes generate nearly two tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of steel produced, making steel production one of the highest contributors to carbon emissions in the manufacturing sector.

Traditional steel recycling methods use an electric arc furnace to melt down scrap metal. Since it is difficult to physically separate copper material from scrap before melting, the element is also present in the recycled steel products.

THE PROBLEM WITH SECONDARY STEEL PRODUCTION

"The main problem with secondary steel production is that the scrap being recycled may be contaminated with other elements, including copper," says Azimi.

"The concentration of copper adds up as you add more scrap metals to be recycled, and when it goes above 0.1 weight percentage (wt%) in the final steel product, it will be detrimental to the properties of steel."

Copper cannot be removed from molten steel scrap using the traditional electric arc furnace steelmaking practice, so this limits the secondary steel market to producing lower-quality steel products, such as reinforcing bars used in the construction industry.

THEIR METHOD

"Our method can expand the secondary steel market into different industries. “It has the potential to be used to create higher-grade products such as galvanized cold rolled coil used in the automotive sector, or steel sheets for deep drawing, used in the transport sector," says Paeng. To remove copper from iron to below 0.1 wt%, the team had to first design an electrochemical cell that could withstand temperatures up to 1600 degrees Celsius.

Inside the cell, electricity flows between the negative electrode (cathode) and the positive electrode (anode) through a novel oxysulfide electrolyte designed from slag — a waste derived from steelmaking that often ends up in cement or landfills.

"We put our contaminated iron that has the copper impurity as the anode of the electrochemical cell. We then apply an electromotive force, which is the voltage, with a power supply and we force the copper to react with the electrolyte." says Azimi.

"The electrolyte targets the removal of copper from the iron when we apply electricity to the cell," adds Paeng.

"When we apply electricity on the one side of the cell, we force the copper to react with the electrolyte and come out from iron. At the other end of the cell, we simultaneously produce new iron."

Azimi's lab collaborated with Tenova Goodfellow Inc., a global supplier of advanced technologies, products and services for metal and mining industries. Looking forward, the team wants to enable the electro-refining process to remove other contaminants from steel, including tin.

"Iron and steel are the most widely used metals in the industry, and I think the production rate is as high as 1.9 billion tonnes per year, Our method has great potential to offer the steelmaking industry a practical and easily implementable way to recycle steel to produce more of the demand for high-grade steel globally." says Azimi.

MEMBERSHIP SURVEY

JANUARY TO DECEMBER 2023

SUMMARY

For the calendar period January to December 2023, 3.569 million tonnes (Mt) of iron and steel slag (ISS) were generated within Australian and New Zealand steel operations and/or imported from overseas sources for Australian consumption. During this same period, 3.243 million tonnes or 90% of ISS was beneficially used within various value added applications of the construction materials sector, resulting in the conservation of energy, finite natural resources, and the reduction of carbon emissions from these co-products.

METHODOLOGY

Annually, the Australasian (iron & steel) Slag Association (ASA) surveys its members1 and non-members to capture data on ISS generation, recovery, importation, and sale into value added applications for the calendar year. This report, compiled during 2025, reports on the aggregated volumes of (1) production, (2) importation and (3) sales for 2023.

The survey results include data from all iron and steel slags generators (iron & steel plants), marketers (processing and marketing companies) and captured users for the total production and sales by each reported end use. Data in the report is supplemented with secondary sources importation data2 and other secondary data sources for accuracy purposes. Information provided is reviewed, compared, collated before being aggregated into this national report by slag type; BFS; GBFS; SFS; EAFS; KOBM; Others3 and by end uses for all slag products.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

During the period, the volume of ISS generated/imported increased slightly to 3.569 Mt from 3.374 Mt in the previous period. Production of domestic ISS was reasonably stable, except for domestic production and imports of GBFS which increased by ~ 200,000 tonnes, meaning almost 2 million tonnes of GBFS total. Overall demand for GGBFS use in the cement and concrete products continues to strengthen which is consistent with the longer term industry trends to reduce the carbon footprint for 1M3 of concrete. Utilisation across other categories correlates well with historical demand within the construction and infrastructure sectors, underpinned by major investments by State Governments within infrastructure. The trend and growth in iron and steel slags use in higher value-added applications continues.

Demand for fine and coarse aggregate use in structural/civil applications is closely tied to consumption or growth in the future development of infrastructure in both urban and regional Australia –estimated to be in excess of 200 million tonnes annually4. Extractive resources are generally widespread and remain in adequate supply nationally, however, shortages in important large-scale markets (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) continue to emerge, requiring additional logistics and associated handling costs not historically incurred.

These are mainly attributed to unsuitable geology, conflicting or incompatible land uses and environmental problems caused by high rates of urban expansion. Natural sand and gravel resources are also being depleted leading to opportunities for substitution by manufactured sands from crushing operations.

Demand for granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) within the cement and concrete sectors grew over the period. GBFS imports were 1.354 Mt. Overall from the combined 3.569 Mt generated and imported iron and steel slags, 3.243 Mt or 90% was effectively utilised within various value-added civil and construction material applications throughout Australasia.

The key results for the calendar period 2023 survey were:

• Approximately 3.569 Mt (million tonnes) of iron and steel slag was available for use within Australasia (Australia and New Zealand)

• From the ISS available, 2.243 Mt or 90 was effectively utilised [sold or reused for some beneficial use]

• On a per capita basis, this equates to approximately. ~100 kgs per person

• 1.99 Mt was used in cementitious applications - “high value add” [HVA]5 Note: approx. 1.354 Mt of GBFS was imported.

• 0.875 Mt was used in non-cementitious or road construction applications - medium value add [MVA]6

• 0.368 Mt was in general civil or fill applications – low value add [LVA]7

In summary, the longer-term trend of ISS materials end-use applications continues its movement from LVA to MVA and HVA applications. To these ends, the active use of these co-products continues to provide significant positive environmental impacts, including resource conservation and in this case, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the processing of virgin resources.
