Experimentswere carried out to determinethe effect of pH on the dissolution behavior of various elements in the steelmaking slagwith and without free-CaO phase.When the pH was decreased, the dissolution behavior of Ca, Si, P and Fe from the steelmaking slag was increased. Furthermore, at a pH of 3, the dissolution ratio of P from steelmaking slag without the free-CaO was larger than that from steelmaking slag including free-CaO.

Matsubae et al.[1] reported the material flow of P in Japan. They revealedtwo important pieces of information with regard to the P resources in Japan. The first is that humans and soil are the main consumers of phosphorus. Both human-consumed phosphorus and soil-accumulated phosphorus are difficult to recycle for fertilizer. The second is that, natural phosphate rock is the only resource for phosphatic fertilizers now, and the amount of P from
