In steelmaking areas, basic slag is an important type of fertilizer for farmers and gardeners because of its phosphate content. It is distinct from other types of slag such as blast furnace slag. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 14:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
If you are using 18,000 lbs lime a heat and reduce it to 14,000 a heat and the lime in the slag goes up. Why does this happen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slag101 ( talk • contribs) 02:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
"basic slag must contain at least 12% total phosphoric acid (P2O5)" – the chemical formula if fishy. Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with water violently, so this is probably an error. Vadim Makarov ( talk) 08:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
The reported temperature of 2600 degrees under "Modern slag uses" is clearly a conversion error and should be Fahrenheit and not Celsius: BF slag is tapped around 1500 degree C and cools in the runner to something like 2600 degree F at granulation [H. Saxen]
One use of slag I didn't see mentioned is road treatment. Where I live they used to spread it on roads in advance of winter weather to improve traction. I don't know if it's still used for that purpose anywhere, but as school kids we loved to hear "the slag trucks are out" on the news because it meant no school tomorrow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SquareWave ( talk • contribs) 16:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
The volcano article on Tuff mentioned that small-scale tephra (volcanic ash) is "slaggy" and linked to Slag. Can any more to be said about that here, such as what in particular makes them "slaggy"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.125.209 ( talk) 06:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
There are a number of types of slag, derived from different metallurgical processes. Some are glassy; others are not. I do not feel this article yet provides an adequate coverage. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:12, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Occasionally one reads stories of pieces of slag sold at exorbitant prices as pieces of meteorite. Old_Wombat ( talk) 09:52, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Steel slag + Carbon Dioxide = Precipitated Calcium Carbonate. [1] 78.149.18.53 ( talk) 22:59, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone. My name is Kiera Tran. I will be editing this Slag Wikipedia as my WikiProject in this semester. Please talk to me if there is something that we are disagree about during my editing period. Thank you! Ntran75 ( talk) 18:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
The article completely fails to mention that slag is a common British pejorative slang term for a promiscuous and sexually unselective woman, broadly equivalent to slut in American English usage (slut mostly retains its original meaning of a lazy or slatternly woman in BE).

@ Dustfreeworld Let's talk about how your video is relevant to this topic. While yes, slag may be used in some roads and construction, we do not know if that road was made in this way. Further, your source mentions roads in the USA but the video is sourced from Hong Kong. This seems too tenuous a connection. You need to show that the image content itself is directly relevant to Slag.
I would like a more experienced wikipedian to weigh in on this. Also, I want to bring WP:NOBLECAUSE to your attention, because of your username and multiple reverts on this same subject. 129.224.209.91 ( talk) 18:18, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
P.S. Please be aware of WP:3RR if anyone else decides to remove this file link, as you have already reverted this before. 129.224.209.91 ( talk) 05:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
upcycledin a different industry (e.g. construction) can be carried by the wind, affecting a larger ecosystem. It can be ingested and inhaled, posing a direct health risk to the communities near the plants, mines, disposal sites, etc.”
As the order of the above posts were altered and I’m confused, I’m starting a new section. I didn’t reply to your post because I don’t want to escalate, but now you are reverting again, there seems to be no choice left.
OK, you agreed that roadworks in the US use slag.
Then the question is:
But just to address to your specific concern:
And I still don’t understand why I need to prove the sky is blue just because a user said they didn’t know it. Slag is widely used in Hong Kong’s construction sector as early as 2012. Anyway, here you go:
As for “keep a civil tone in these discussions, and refrain from personal attacks”, if it’s referring to your erroneous accusation of another Wikipedian in violation of 3RR (plus starting a discussion with their user name in title), I totally concur with that. And would be more than happy to see the other party striking out their PA text and apologize, instead of keep edit-warring. As the discussion is getting uncivil, I’m not sure if I would like to commit to this potential time sink anymore.
And I think you may want to review WP:SPA, WP:FIES and Slag#Construction. Thanks and regards, -- Dustfreeworld ( talk) 10:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
