Popis: We have examined whether the copper reduction slag (CRS) generated after recovering valuable metals from copper slag (CS) by reduction process can be used as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). According to the test results, the Cu secondary slag with low Fe, Cu, and heavy metal contents had a suitable oxide composition for using as a SCM. CRS showed better grinding efficiency than that of ground blast furnace slag (GGBS). Ground CRS contributed to the formation of tobermorite under autoclaved curing conditions. The compressive strength of CRS mortar replacing 50 % of OPC generated 93 % of that of the OPC mortar. Based on the results of this study, we found that the CRS has highly appropriate engineering characteristics for using as SCMs for concrete. In addition, it is judged that the method of using secondary slag as a material for precast concrete produced under hydrothermal conditions can greatly contribute to the construction process of buildings by securing mechanical performance.
