Fifteen prepared field samples of Delta Steel Company (DSC) direct reduction (DR) steelmaking slag were studied with an energy dispersive electron microprobe including photo microscopy. Belite, melilte, merwinite (silicates), periclase, perovskite and wustite were the mineral phases present in the slag. Slag composition elements were very highly differentially concentrated in the mineral phases.
