This paper discusses mineral composition and pore microstructure characteristics of water-cooled
manganese slag and its effects on durability of concrete. The Mn slag has an alveolate pore structure, and the
ground Mn slag is characterized by multiangular shape which consists of α-C2S, C3MS2, CaO· MnO·2SiO2 and
C2AS. Experimental results show that the Mn slag has potential hydraulic reactivity. Concrete made with Mn slag
as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) exhibits very low strength loss and weight loss in the synthetic
seawater corrosion and freezing-thawing cycle tests. The research provides useful reference for knowing about Mn
slag and for applying Mn slag to improve the durability of concrete.
