METHOD FOR TREATING SLAG FLOWING FROM A METALLURGICAL VESSEL AND A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD

摘要

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.
