The 17th Global Slag Conference, Exhibition and Awards will allow all attendees to maximise their profits from slag - both ferrous and non-ferrous, will keep them up-to-date with the industry state-of-the-art.
Attendees receive extensive networking and business opportunities for both producers and users of slag and slag-based products.
The enormous economic and ecological challenges can only be overcome at an international level.
The 16th Global Slag Conference has successfully taken place in Dubai, UAE, with 175 registered delegates from 32 countries, two field trips to slag grinding plants and the Global Slag Awards dinner at a spectacular camp on the edge of the Arabian Desert.
The 16th Global Slag Conference is being held this April in Dubai!
The Call for Papers is now OPEN - please send your proposed presentation title to the conference convenor Dr Robert McCaffrey - to rob@propubs.com - as soon as possible.
Take action to address the critical issue of carbon emissions associated with concrete and cement production. It's time to recognise that real solutions for emissions reduction are available! Low-carbon alternative binders for concrete not only help mitigate environmental impacts but are also becoming standardised, providing designers, contractors, and suppliers with clear guidance on their utilisation in concrete design and construction.
With the current focus on sustainable concrete construction solutions, the use of alternative binders in concrete has been an area of research, development, testing and discussion for some time. However, with the recent release of the Australian Standard document TS199 “Design of geopolymer and alkali-activated binder concrete” there is now a specific guideline for the industry to design and specify Lower Carbon Alternative Binder Concrete in a practical way to respond to some of the challenges posed by traditional cement and concrete, and to help reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry.
The Cement Association of Canada (CAC) along with member producers and downstream partners has released Concrete Zero, an action plan for carbon emissions reduction measures up and down the industry’s value chain. The document will build on formal CO2 benchmarks that CAC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada officials outlined last Autumn in a ultimate goal to reach net zero by 2050, cement and concrete producers detail the following 5 priority areas in the new action plan:
Traditionally, concrete specifications have been specified prescriptively, for example by defining the minimum cement content and maximum water-to-cement ratio to provide

One hundred years ago, the National Slag Association was created near Washington, DC with the goal of promoting the use of blast furnace and steel furnace slag. In September, Craig Heidrich (ASA CEO) raveled to the states for the centennial celebration.
The Concrete Institute of Australia will celebrate 50 years in 2020. The Institute was originally formed when members of the Australia Prestressed Concrete Group proposed a change in 1968 where it was resolved to adopt the name Concrete Institute of Australia.
