Agricultural Uses

Electric furnace slag is produced by the reduction of rock phosphate in an electric furnace during the preparation of phosphorus and the manufacture of pig iron and steel. The slag contains 0.9 to 2.3 % phosphorus pentoxide and its neutralizing value (calcium carbonate equivalent, CCE) is between 65 and 80%
