Some methods for making a granular material comprise crushing demetallized slag particles with one or more crushers and screening the crushed demetallized slag particles with one or more screens to separate the demetallized slag particles into two or more fractions, the granular material comprising at least one of the fractions of the demetallized slag particles. Prior to the crushing, ones of the demetallized slag particles having a size that is less than or equal to 2 inches can account for at least 90% of the demetallized slag particles. An iron-compound content of the demetallized slag particles, by weight, can be less than or equal to 10%. Crushing and screening can be performed such that ones of the demetallized slag particles of the granular material having a size that is less than or equal to 1.25 mm account for at least 90% of the demetallized slag particles of the granular material.

A process for treating a fines stream in a material recover facility (MRF), comprising: providing an MRF fines stream comprising breakable material and ductile material: subjecting the MRF fines streams to a one-pass kinetic pulverization stage to produce a pulverized material comprising a size-reduced fraction derived from the breakable material and an oversized fraction derived from the ductile material; withdrawing the pulverized material from the kinetic pulverizer; and subjecting the pulverized material to separation to produce a size-reduced stream and an oversized stream. Also provided is a system comprising a kinetic pulverizer, a pulverizer conveyor and a screen operatively coupled to the pulverizer conveyor to receive a pulverized stream and produce a sized-reduced stream and an oversized stream. The system can also include a magnetic separator and a dust collection system respectively located upstream and downstream of the kinetic pulverizer.

A device for shredding material is provided. The device includes a baffle chamber with a discharge opening and a rotor shaft having a longitudinal axis and provided in the baffle chamber, where the baffle chamber is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft.

A distribution member may include a distributing plate, a plurality of protecting plates and a second protecting plate. The distributing plate may be connected with a vertical shaft of the vertical shaft impact crusher. The distributing plate may have a first distributing surface having a conical shape, and a second distributing surface. The first protecting plates may be attached to the first distributing surface of the distributing plate. The second protecting plate may be attached to the second distributing surface of the distributing plate. Thus, the distribution member may be semi-permanently used by properly exchanging any one of the first protecting plates and/or the second protecting plate.

A pulverizer comprising: a housing having top and bottom ends, an inlet located towards the top end for receiving input material to pulverize and an outlet located towards the bottom end for discharging pulverized material from the housing, the housing including a housing sidewall defining an interior chamber and having a central housing axis: a rotatable shaft extending along the central housing axis: a plurality of rotor hub assemblies mounted to the shaft, each rotor hub assembly including a rotor hub and a plurality of rotor arms extending outwardly from the rotor for forming an airflow revolving about the central housing axis within the interior chamber, wherein at least one of the housing and of one or more of the rotor hub assemblies is selectively reconfigurable between a plurality of configurations to adjust at least one parameter of an output flow of the pulverized material at the outlet.

A discharge arrangement (120) for a comminution reactor assembly (100). The discharge arrangement (120) comprises a main chamber (202) extending along a main axis (124). The main chamber has an inlet (121) arranged to be fluidly connected to a comminution reactor (110) and an outlet (122) arranged opposite from the inlet (121) along the main axis (124) and closeable by a common material take-out valve (204). The main chamber (202) is arranged to support a fluid-material stream (123) along a helical path about the main axis (124) from the inlet (121) towards the outlet (122). The discharge arrangement (120) further comprises an airduct (206) arranged extending into the main chamber (202) at an acute angle (a) with respect to the main axis (124). The airduct (206) comprises an aperture arranged facing the outlet (122). Thereby, a portion (125) of the fluid-material stream (123) changes direction from the helical fluid-material stream (123) about the main axis (124) from the inlet (121) towards the outlet (122) to a helical flow inside the airduct (206).
