Steel slag, as the main solid waste in the metallurgical industry, has a low overall utilization rate in China due to its large output and poor stability.The composition of hot pressed steel slag at Baotou Steel has been introduced in the text.The current main treatment processes and advantages & disadvantages in China have been elaborated, as well as the differences in composition, utilization rate, and main application manufacturers of steel slag under different treatment conditions.Based on the mineral phase and physical properties of steel slag, the current utilization status and usage pathways of steel slag both domestically and internationally have been elaborated, mainly including internal and external circulation of enterprises.Internal circulation of enterprises mainly includes the recycling of waste steel and the use of sintering materials.External circulation of enterprises mainly includes road construction and construction, agricultural fertilizer production and soil improvement, concrete, flue gas desulfurization, carbon dioxide absorption, and functional materials and related fields.In addition, aiming at the shortcomings in the current utilization of steel slag, the future development direction of steel slag has been expected.
