The present invention relates to a novel cementitious product produced from steelworks slag additivation to obtain material having properties suitable for use in the partial or total clinker replacement for the production of different types of cement. The process, which is also object of this invention, aims to adapt the properties of steelworks slag, by means of thermochemical treatment, including and preferably, but not only, still in the liquid steelworks slag pot, taking advantage of the thermal input of steel processing, to form a greater amount of alite (essential compound to increase pozzolanicity), under controlled conditions. After additivation, preferably, but not exclusively, the additivated steelworks slag is subjected to quenching, comminution and concentration to stabilize the alite fraction, to release the present phases and to remove any excess contaminants, such as metallic iron.

The invention relates to a processing method of a battery pack that includes at least a battery body and a resin. The processing method includes a step of covering the battery pack with a slag that is at a predetermined temperature.

Methods and systems are provided for extracting and utilizing the energy contained in molten slags generated from metal producing operations. The energy is extracted while the slag is contained within a vessel, such as, a slag pot, after the slag has been discharged from a furnace. The energy is accessed by immersing into the slag a thermally stable treatment vessel, such as, a vessel made of graphite, having an internal cavity. The energy from the slag is transmitted by direct contact of the slag with the surface of the treatment vessel. The treatment vessel and slag may be moved relative to each other to overcome the low thermal conductivity of the slag. Any substance placed within the internal cavity is heated without directly contacting the molten slag. The methods and systems provide for high temperature chemical reactions, energy conversions, or transfer operations within the internal cavity.

An end effector for a torpedo car capping robot and a capping method thereof. which effector and method belong to the field of robot control. The end effector at least comprises: a pickup and release unit, a buffer unit, a heat preservation cover distance measurement unit, an end effector structure protection unit and a pneumatic execution unit. The capping method comprises: by means of a heat preservation cover visual system, identifying the center of a heat preservation cover at the current position to be subjected to picking up, feeding back the center to a robot system, and a pickup center position of an end effector moving to the position right above the center of the heat preservation cover; by means of a numerical value which is fed back by a heat preservation cover distance measurement unit, driving the robot system to descend with the end effector and pick up the heat preservation cover; and a tank opening visual system identifying the current direction of a tank opening of a torpedo car, feeding back data to the robot system, guiding the robot system to move to the position above the tank opening, and releasing the heat preservation cover, so as to complete a capping operation. A robot is automatically guided to perform accurate capping operation on a tank opening of a torpedo car, thereby ensuring the safety of an operation device and an operated object during the whole operation process.
