A device for melting a metal-containing mixture includes a vacuum melting furnace, in particular with a plasma jet melting means. A metal-containing mixture, in particular catalysts from motor vehicles, is to be fed into a graphite pool through a feed line. A first lateral discharge opening can be inserted into the graphite pool for discharging metal melt, and a second lateral discharge opening, specifically a siphon discharge opening, is provided for molten slags. The discharge openings are to be inserted through a wall of the graphite pool by a piercing lance. The lateral siphon discharge opening comprises an attached siphon with an integrated slag brick. An adaptively designed metal cover plate close to the outlet opening is inserted, in particular a copper cover plate, which is prepared in such a way that it is designed to be replaceable even when the vacuum melting furnace is running.

A roller treatment process and a treatment device suitable for a total-amount steel slag treatment. The treatment process is: firstly, a slag tank (2) with the molten slag is tightly held by a slag tank tilting mechanism and moved to a slag inlet position, the slag tank (2) is tilted to pour the molten slag with good fluidity into a rotary roller device (5) through a feeding chute (51), so that a roller treatment is achieved; secondly, when the steel slag (3) without fluidity in the slag tank (2) cannot flow out, a slag removal machine (4) is used for pushing the high-viscosity slag or the solid slag into the roller device (5); and thirdly, the slag tank (2) is reversed by a large angle tilting to make the slag at the bottom of the tank drop into the roller device (5), so that the total-amount steel slag treatment of the same roller device (5) is achieved. The treatment device comprises a feeding system, the roller device (5), a particle slag conveying and storage system (7), a tail gas emission and purification system (6), a cooling water circulation system (8), a cold steel cleaning mechanism (10) and an electric control system (9); and the feeding system comprises the slag tank tilting mechanism (1), the slag tank (2), the molten slag (3) and the slag removal machine (4).

There is disclosed a furnace (10), a fluid feed component, a fluid reforming system, and a method of reforming a fluid (20). The furnace (10) comprises a vessel (12) that defines a chamber (14) for holding a body of liquid (16). A fluid inlet (18) is provided for introducing a fluid (20) into the chamber (14) below a level (22) of the body of liquid (16) to cause the fluid (20) to interact with the liquid (16) and to migrate therethrough towards an outlet (24) for discharging a product (26) of the interaction from the chamber (14). A liquid circulation passage (28) is implemented, having a weir (30) which is operatively located near the level of the body of liquid (16), and a port (34) which is located remote from the weir (30) and in fluid (20) communication with the fluid inlet (18) so as to enable the liquid (16) to flow over the weir (30) through the liquid circulation passage (28) and through the port (34).

A slag door for a melting furnace for the production of steel is suitable to be associated with an aperture provided in a lateral wall of the melting furnace and to cooperate with a slag channel provided inside the melting furnace itself.

A dross removal system for magnetohydrodynamic additive. A vacuum source is used to create a pressure differential at a nozzle opening sufficient to collect dross from a pool of molten metal. The dross and any collected molten metal can be captured in a waste bin for later disposal. 308

A method and an installation (10) for removing slag allows both slag removal and metal recovery from slag (60′) to be performed quickly and easily. The risk of slag fires is reduced.

A method is shown for handling a slag pot or ladle and pyrometallurgical tools made form steel or cast iron, comprising the steps of spraying a mineral suspension onto a wall and bringing said slag pot or ladle or the pyrometallurgical tool into service, wherein said mineral suspension comprises calcic particles in suspension in an aqueous phase forming a calcic particle milk having a calcic particle content of between 20% and 60% by weight with respect to the weight of said calcic particle milk, said mineral layer being a fine layer.

A device for maintaining efficient a tapping channel of a furnace for the production of metal, includes a bearing structure and a mobile support means associated with the bearing structure. An operating arm is associated with the support means and terminally provided with a rod. A linear positioner is configured to move the support means along an elongation axis. A corresponding method for maintaining efficient a tapping channel of a furnace for the production of metal is also provided.

A slag pusher apparatus having a boom with a plurality of telescopingly engaged boom segments. Rollers are positioned between each boom segment to provide support for the boom segments and facilitate extension and retraction of the boom.
