N2 - Blast furnace slag is well known as by-product of hot metal production in integrated steel and iron mills. About 300 million tons of this slag is produced ...
Molten slag is often considered as a waste material when it is cast into slag pits. INBA slag granulation and dewatering system is the proven route for converting molten slag into a value added product for the cement industry. The INBA system comprises two main components – the granulation unit which utilizes a granulation
For copper slag granulation, the main mass fraction peak moved to the range of small diameter with an increase in rotating speed. In metallurgical slag granulation, the particle size tended to be uniform with an increase in rotating speed. It is necessary to enhance the rotating speed to improve heat transfer between slag …
Dry granulation, as a new process of molten blast furnace slag (BFS) treatment, is an attractive alternative to water quenching. The performance of BFS obtained from dry granulation must be assessed. The glass content, which is a significant factor to evaluate the performance of BFS as a replacement material for Portland cement, was …
The results indicated that the length of molten slag ligament in granulation for ferroalloy slag, with high viscosity, was long. And there was small change in mean diameter of solid particles with an increase in rotating speed for metallurgy slag with low viscosity and surface tension. The semi-empirical relations, based on the experimental ...
Fig 4 Schematic diagram of a slag granulation plant. Granulation section – Here, the liquid BF slag is water quenched and solidified into small particles, eliminating the need for heavy crushing equipment. The liquid slag flows by runners from the BF to the granulation unit. From the runner, the liquid slag stream at around 1,500 deg C is …
Abstract. Slag dumping and water granulation are the most commonly used slag treatment methods in the metallurgical industries. In both processes, water is present (by desire for cooling and dispersion or as a result of rain accumulation) and thus equipment and operations are designed to minimize and mitigate the risk of steam …
A considerable amount of heat energy is contained in the molten slag tapped from blast furnace.At present,the BF slag is treated by impinging much water for granulation and the energy is wasted without recovery.Thus,dry granulation technology has attracted more and more attention.The basic problems and technical difficulties of dry granulation were …
dry slag granulation pilot plant is outlined below: Process Air Supply A radial fan is installed to supply the granulator and the various air cooling chambers with process air. Based on the thermal balance of the granulator an air amount of maximal 180,000 Nm³/h is provided to cool the granules down to target temperature. This air amount and ...
slag can effectively granulate the molten converter slag. At the same time, the heat of converter slag can be recovered with air as the medium, so that the converter slag resources can be applied to the maximum extent [4, 5]. The process of air quenching granulation is to use high-pressure air to impact molten converter slag.
The trials for dry granulation of slag date back to 1930 [20], but the research surged in 1970s and 1980s in Europe and Japan, resulting in laboratory and pilot scale testing of several methods. In Section 3, the processes that have been proposed for energy recovery from slag based on the use of dry granulation are described. 2.2.
Highlights The granulation and heat recovery technologies towards molten slag of steel industry are reviewed. The working principle, research status, challenges and prospects of these technologies are analyzed. Centrifugal granulation combined with chemical heat recovery is the most perspective method among all technologies.
As the largest output of solid waste in the ISI, the production of blast furnace slag (BFS) by the blast furnace method exceeded 1.279 billion tons with extremely high temperature of 1500~1600 ℃ based on the global iron production estimation in 2022 (Duan et al., 2024b).The slag contained total residual waste heat of 7.55×10 8 GJ, equivalent …
The molten slag granulation mechanism in the gas quenching granulation technique has been rarely reported. The granulation characteristics, waste heat recovery and the relationship between them have not been made a profound study with different airflow velocity and different molten slag mass flow rate. In the present study, the …
