Abstract: The present invention concerns a granulation installation for granulating molten material produced in a metallurgical plant, the installation includes a water injection device, for injecting granulation water into a flow of molten material and thereby granulating the molten material; a granulation tank for collecting the granulation water and the granulated material; and a steam condensation system including a steam collecting hood located above the granulation tank, for collecting steam generated in the granulation tank, a gas conduit arranged between the steam collecting hood and a water column, and a gas compressor arranged within said gas conduit for compressing the steam before feeding it into the water column.

Abstract: A process for granulation of hot liquid slag wherein the hot liquid slag is mixed with solid metallic particles so as to form a solidified, vitrified slag cake mixed with said metallic particles and said slag cake is discharged in a water bath.

Abstract: A process for dry granulation of hot liquid slag wherein the hot liquid slag is mixed with solid metallic particles so as to form a solidified, vitrified slag cake mixed with the metallic particles, the slag cake is crushed so as to form hot slag particles and heated solid particles, said particles are cooled and said solid metallic particles are recycled.

Abstract: A method for producing a solder joint between at least one base part (2) and at least one first component (3) includes the following steps: providing the base part (2); partially blasting a surface of the base part (2) using a SACO blasting agent, the blasting material (50) of which has a silicate coating (52), in such a way that a SACO-blasted region (20) and a non-blasted positioning region (40) are present; and soldering the at least first component (3) onto the non-blasted positioning region (40), wherein the SACO-blasted region (20) acts as a solder resist.
