Chairmen

Dear Sir/Madam,

After one year delay, which was considered reasonable due to the international economic circumstances, it is a pleasure to announce again that the 6th European Slag Conference of EUROSLAG - The European Slag Association, will be held from the 20th to the 22nd October 2010, in MADRID, and is to be organised by UNESID (Spanish Steel Association).

The purpose of the Conference holds the objective of encouraging the exchange of knowledge and promotion of more suitable technical, innovative, environmental sound and efficient uses on the less widely utilised slag, such as Electric Arc Furnaces for both Carbon and Stainless Steel and LD / AOD slags. An additional effort will be given to improve its use in Southern Europe. The Conference will also deal with the main challenges arising from the most recent environmental and technical legislation (REACH, presence of dangerous substances etc.). It will also include sessions related to more recent knowledge on the Blast Furnace slags.

The Conference is aimed not only at professionals already involved in the slag business, but also at people who may support slag applications in the future, and those involved in the decision-making process for the use of slags. It includes steel producers, slag processors, equipment and additives providers, administration, research community in the wider sense, and users such as construction companies, cement industry, civil engineers, innovative applications, etc.

The organisation details, and the instruction for sending technical paper to be eligible for being presenting at the Conference is available at:

www.euroslag2010.eu - www.euroslag.org

A preliminary program for the Conference will be published early in 2010.

We are looking forward to welcoming you.

With best regards.
