METHOD OF PROCESSING METALLURGICAL WASTE POWDER

摘要

A process of processing finely divided material produced in a metallurgical process, which process comprises: continuous washing of a first portion of granules formed from the finely divided material by movement of the granules through a wash solution, the suspended solids content of which increases as a result of washing of the granules; wherein washing of the granules takes place in a vessel comprising a second portion of granules formed from the finely divided material that are provided in the vessel to remove solids from the wash solution thereby reducing the suspended solids content of the wash solution; and wherein the first and second portions of the granules are continuously removed from the vessel and replenished with fresh portions of granules for processing.
