Disclosed herein is a method of reducing slag, including the steps of: examining the components of slag to be reduced, and setting a target composition ratio after reduction; determining the mixing ratio and input amount of a complex reducing agent of a plurality of reducing agents in accordance with the set target composition ratio to determine the complex reducing agent; and supplying the complex reducing agent into molten slag to reduce the slag. The method is advantageous in that the reduction efficiency of slag can be maximized, various kinds of reducing agents can be efficiently used, and the recovery amount of valuable metals can be increased, thus reducing cost. |

The invention relates to steel production in the steel and iron industry. The inventive method consists in dividing a solid slag stream which flows from a metallurgical vessel and falls down, into individual streams along the solid stream, in forcedly cooling the thus obtained individual streams, in dividing the individual streams into parts (pieces) by cutting across the movement thereof, in forcedly cooling said parts and transferring to a belt conveyor, on which said separate parts/pieces are forcedly cooled and transported away from the vessel. A shaped (with containers) conveyor belt, on which the slag pieces are crushed by means of a cylindrical roll, is used for additional crushing. The inventive device for carrying out the totality of the above-listed operations, comprises at least three throat grates which are horizontally positioned in an assembled body and one of which is provided with a drive for carrying out reciprocating motion. The device also comprises a drive for displacing to/from the vessel. In the position closest to the vessel, the device is fed with air and water from a stationary plant for forcedly cooling the individual slam streams and the parts (pieces) of slam. The throat grate displacing drives and a conveyor belt drive are mounted on the device assembled body, and the roll and a drive for rotating it, when the shaped belt is used, are fastened thereto. The ribs of the throat grate are made from tensioned steel ropes. |

The present invention relates to a process and apparatus to cast and form slag directly from the molten state into crystalline or amorphous products suitable for use as decorative and structural building and construction materials. Molten slag and additives are refined at high temperature in a treatment furnace for a period of hours. The eventual entrapped gas content is controlled using a variety of methods, such as vacuum pressures and bottom stirring with inert gas. The molten slag is cast directly into moulds, and these moulds form the slag into any shape desired. The formed products are immediately introduced into a heat treatment furnace at temperatures at or above the glass transition temperature (GTT) for the case of crystalline products, or just below the GTT for amorphous products. The product is thermally cycled over a period of hours to relieve thermal stresses during cooling to ambient temperatures. If desired, the product can be coated using enamel or glaze and cured in another furnace, or metal plated. |

A cement mix based on an inorganic hydraulic cement, for example, Portland Cement, an air-cooled blast furnace slag and silica fume produces concretes having strength characteristics superior to those achieved by the cement alone; furthermore this cement mix is superior to a corresponding mix based on the inorganic hydraulic cement, and the air-cooled slag without the silica fume, and to a corresponding mix based on the cement and silica fume without the slag; additionally a cost saving in the expensive Portland Cement is achieved by use of the air-cooled slag which is a waste material and cheaper than granulated or pelletized slag. |

The present invention is directed to a spheroidal particulate inorganic material of an inorganic particulate material such as spheroidal cement or slag whose respective particles are of a substantially spheroidal shape and have smooth surfaces having improved flowability and filling properties. The spheroidal particulate material is produced by subjecting the respective particles of the particulate inorganic material to a high temperature flame treatment and rapid cooling in air, or by dispersing fine particles of the inorganic material and an organic or inorganic binder in a non-aqueous solvent to form a slurry and granulating the slurry. Compositions containing the spheroidal particulate inorganic material are used in civil engineering works and construction. To improve energetic efficiency in the production of the spheroidal particulate inorganic material, particularly spheroidal cement or slag, an apparatus is used which is a retention furnace for retaining a molten liquid inorganic material, a nozzle assembly communicated to the retention furnace and capable of scattering therethrough the molten liquid inorganic material, a jet gas for entraining the molten inorganic material introduced in the nozzle assembly and scattering the molten inorganic material to cool it, and gas spray means for spraying the jet gas. |

A method for obtaining aluminum oxide where the smelted metallurgical slag is subjected to a slow cooling and then self-decomposition by simultaneous action of ultrasound or vibration of high frequency, carried out, which accelerates the formation, in a glassy (vitrous) phase, of a polymorphous, crystalline, high-temperature modification of calcium aluminate, 12 CaO.multidot.7Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, which can be easily lixiviated with aqueous solutions of soda. From lye liquors after extraction, the aluminum oxide is then recovered and the residue, after lixiviation, is burnt to standard portland clinker keeping possibly the lowest proportion of the quantity of clinker produced in relation to the quantity of obtained aluminum oxide. |

Iron-containing slag in flowable state is poured into a casting bed to form a layer. Upright tubular conduits are embedded in the layer during pouring, each having an upper section and a lower section telescoped from below over the bottom portion of the upper section. The upper sections have upper open ends outside the layer and explosive capsules are inserted through these into the lower sections and detonated. This ruptures the lower sections and forms in the slag layer cavities surrounding the lower sections. Cooling water is then introduced into the upper sections to flow into the layer via the lower sections and the cavities.
