slag granulation

Liquid effluent discharges are minimized by reusing water for slag granulation.

Water from the cooling recycle pond is used for slag granulation and cooling of the furnace top.

Any surplus process water is directed to the cooling recycle pond, which receives slag granulation water as well as surface water.

Automation, combined blowing for BOF (LBE) and post combustion lances, automated devices for lance changing, BOF slag granulation systems.

Bell-less Top Charging, modernised double Cast Houses, Coal Dust Injection and Cast House Slag Granulation technologies have been deployed in the furnaces.

Examples include slag granulation water, which is used for mineral flotation in the Concentrator, and copper sulphate solution from the Copper Refinery, which is used as a reagent in the Concentrator.

In the first years of operation at Mount Isa, the throughput of the ISASMELT furnace was constrained by problems with some of the ancillary equipment in the plant, including the boiler, slag granulation system and concentrate filters.

This revamped the process of supply of raw materials, new oxygen plant, improved techniques in blast furnaces, selling of dolomite plant, cast house, slag granulation plant, supply of raw materials sintering plants and coal handling plants among others.
