Mineralogical composition of AOD slag were identified via X-ray and SEM.
Larnite, merwinite, pyroxene and periclase with Cr dispersed were the main minerals.
Chromium concentration in leachates obtained by EN12457-2 were measured.
Geochemical model was established by PHREEQC simulation combined with FactSage.
Cr leaching from AOD slag was controlled by Cr(Ⅲ)-hydroxide.
