O aumento da demanda de matéria prima pelas indústrias de construção e transformação, em particular pelo aço produzido a partir do minério de ferro, tem causado impactos ambientais negativos nas comunidades localizadas no entorno das indústrias siderúrgicas. Assim, este estudo validou a hipótese de que é possível usar o rejeito produzido e descartado nas siderúrgicas (escórias de aciarias) na indústria da construção civil. Neste contexto, foram realizados experimentos de fabricação de concreto a partir da substituição do material agregado (areia e cimento) pelas escórias de aciarias (BSFF e BOF) e testes técnicos (análise granulométrica, teste de campo magnético, de expansividade e de resistência axial) para a comprovação da qualidade do material produzido. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o uso dos rejeitos de minérios de ferro produzidos na Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém (CSP) no Estado do Ceará apresenta potencial para a produção de concreto que podem se usados em pequenas e grandes construções (casas populares, mantas asfálticas, prédios e viadutos) e que isto pode auxiliar as ações mitigadores dos efeitos negativos produzidos pela poluição ambiental observada nas comunidades do entorno desta região, contribuindo para a diminuição dos impactos ambientais.
