STUDY ON THE APPLICABILITY OFSEAWEED BED CREATION BLOCK USING STEEL SLAG HYDRATION MATRIX

Abstract

 Rocky shore scorch is an issue in Japan's coastal environment. The restoration of seaweed beds is expected to improve the fishing environment and blue carbon. This paper examines the application of steel Slag Hydration matrix for marine use and examines the applicability of seaweed bed creation blocks more effectively by improving the materials and structures used. The results of these tests are shown in this report. The results of the pH change, bioavailability confirmation, and leaching tests indicate that the steel Slag Hydration matrix has a very low environmental impact and is applicable to marine applications. The porous type is more effective in creating seaweed beds and fishing reef blocks.
