Metallurgical slags are produced at a massive rate of over 750 Mt/year, and carry a thermal energy equivalent to 40 Mt/year of coal. The potential mineral and thermal energy values of slags are in the order of $22 b and $3–6 b per year. Such attractive figures, together with tightening legislation on disposal of slag and the carbon footprint …

Outotec Slag Granulation. Typically, slag is granulated by using water sprays during tapping. Granulation is a cost-efective way to process slag for further usage. Because the granulation process uses water recycled from other water circuits in the plant, fresh water intake is minimized.

Abstract. Blast furnace slag, an essential part of the blast furnace process, is increasingly sold as a valuable by-product to cement producers. When selecting a slag composition, competing requirements must be considered to meet blast furnace and cement producer needs. To better understand the optimum slag composition, certain property data ...

Currently about 20 commercial scale dry granulation plants have been installed with two of them having waste heat recovery, which recover 30–40% of the latent heat of the slag. This technology is gaining good acceptance by the non-ferrous industry with technology maturity of TRL9.

'slag' generally refers to ground, granulated, iron blast furnace slag – with the descriptors to be explained and developed in this technical note. In a general sense, the term 'slag' refers to a waste material separated from metals during the smelting or refining of an ore in a blast furnace. 'Slags' are formed during the smelting or

Nickel slag is categorized as Hazardous and Toxic Substances which produced from nickel ore smelting and has large amount of deposits. On the other hand, suitable natural materials for road paveme ...

The smelter is a zero-effluent plant and all the water from the slag silos where the slag is dewatered, as well as the storm water, is ... Slag granulation Dewatering Dewatered slag to slag dump Matte Slag Figure 1: Simple schematic of Polokwane Smelter operation The smelter has been in operation since March 2003. The ramp up of the

Sintering is the most extensively used and economic agglomeration process to prepare iron ore fines for blast furnace use. Granulation is the most critical factor controlling iron ore sintering process, as it improves sinter mix permeability. Currently, sinter plants are receiving significant proportion (up to 40%) of − 150 μm micro-fines in iron …

Fill it with ore. The smelter can hold up to 25 pieces of ore. Fuel it with at least 12 pieces of charcoal or black coal by left-clicking the coal and right-clicking the ore smelter. Then light the smelter using a torch or other fire source. It takes 55 minutes to smelt a single load. Formula. This formula is outdated since W13 [Verify]

The main initial data for designing the DSGP are the yield of the liquid cast iron supplied for granulation G, m 3 /s, and the maximum particle diameter of the granulated blast-furnace slag d, mm.The secondary data are the temperature of the blast-furnace slag at the exit from the blast furnace, T s0, ℃; thermophysical parameters of …

The ultimate disposal of the slag at these works is effected by granulation and sluicing away; but the method may be better explained by considering the handling of the slag from three more or less distinct sources, namely, the blast-furnaces, the reverberatory tilting-hearths and the converters.
