Granulated blast furnace slag (production)

The activity generating the emissions is granulated blast furnace slag production. The reference product is granulated blast furnace slag. The product "granulated blast furnace slag" represents the intermediate treatment of raw blast furnace slag, producing an output of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). GBFS resembles a natural sand grain, with a more angular form. It has a glass content of over 95% and presents excellent hydraulic properties. The GBFS usually goes through a subsequent grinding process, generating a supplementary cementitious material called ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). The most import part of the raw material for producing blast furnace slag cement is dry granulated blast furnace slag. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
