The present application provides an efficient treatment method and apparatus for multiphase steel slag. According to the present application, the treatment apparatus for multiphase steel slag comprises a steel slag feeding apparatus and a drum for treating steel slag, and the steel slag feeding apparatus comprises a feeding chute; the treatment apparatus for multiphase steel slag further comprises a storage compartment disposed between the feeding chute and the drum; the storage compartment is an open cylinder, and has one end forming a working fit with the lower open end of the feeding chute and the other end being fixedly connected to and coaxial with the treatment cavity of the drum. By means of the storage compartment obliquely placed between the front of the drum and the feeding chute and used for buffering and transition, there is no need to use a slag raking apparatus, and safe technological treatment of various steel slag by a drum is implemented.

The present invention provides a method of simultaneously recycling plastics and detoxifying chromite ore processing residue with residual heat from a steel slag. By heating and gasifying plastics with steel slag, followed by catalytically split-decomposing the plastics with catalysts such as chromite ore processing residue, the plastics are thoroughly converted into a energy gas under water vapor gasification. The surface coking of Chromite Ore Processing Residue is avoided. Meanwhile, the energy gas reduces Cr.sup.6+ in Chromite Ore Processing Residue into Cr.sup.3+, and the energy gas is cooled, and CO.sub.2 and Cl in the energy gas are adsorbed by alkaline substances in Chromite Ore Processing Residue. With this method, chromite ore processing residue is detoxified, and steel slag is cooled, furthermore, energy is saved and a energy gas is obtained.

An apparatus for cooling a material includes: at least one reactor, substantially tubular, which is rotatable and which includes a rotating tubular structure defining inside it a chamber for receiving and passing through the material to be cooled; and means for indirectly cooling the material passing through said chamber by means of a cooling fluid, the means for indirect cooling comprise at least one dispensing device for the cooling fluid. The at least one dispensing device includes at least two dispensing mouths defined by respective slots, with substantially longitudinal development, for the escape of the refrigerant fluid, the device being arranged with respect to the tubular structure in so that the flow outgoing from said two slits affects and laps two respective areas, distinct from each other, of the external surface of the tubular structure.
