Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-cyclone and to a method for operating such a multi-cyclone for separating fine material and very fine material. In this context, a multi-cyclone according to the invention has multiple individual cyclones which are of essentially identical construction and which are housed in a housing that has an upper and a lower chamber. Via a supply into the lower chamber it is possible to introduce in a targeted manner cyclone regulating air which can be used to set the quantity, the fineness and/or the purity of the material separated by means of the multi-cyclone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing steel slag to produce a hydraulic mineral binder with a high hardening potential and to recover iron. There is provision for this purpose to provide a feed product comprising steel slag with MnO. This feed product is further processed as a melt by introducing reducing agents into the melt. A lime saturation factor of between 90 and 110 is hereby to be achieved in the mineral melt portion. Subsequently the melt is cooled in a defined manner and elemental iron is mechanically separated from the solidified melt. The solidified melt is then supplied for use as hydraulic mineral binder.

A funnel-like mixing device is provided in the extension of the annular clearance duct in the region of the end of the inner pipe. This funnel-like mixing device has openings in its wall for combustion media to flow through. The outer lances each have a nozzle which has openings along the lateral circumferential area, said openings being arranged asymmetrically.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing and activating a raw material, wherein the raw material is comminuted by means of grinding rollers in a mill-classifier combination, and wherein the mill-classifier combination is set and operated to produce a ground product with a fineness of between D50=3 ?m and D50=12 ?m. Here, a part of the grinding product is comminuted by means of the mill-classifier combination to a diameter of <5 ?m. Subsequently the ground product is subjected to a further classification in an ultrafine grain classifier unit which has a separation threshold in order to separate ultrafine grain with a fineness of <D50=6 ?m. The invention further relates to an installation configuration for carrying out the method according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preparation method for stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags for recovery of metal. In order to create a dry preparation method which guarantees a low wear and energy efficient comminution and de-agglomeration of stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags as well as a selective separation of a metal fraction and a silicate fraction and which can be variable in relation to the different slag compositions and different requirements upon the quality of the metal fraction and the at least one silicate fraction, a roller mill is used at least for the comminution. The slags are supplied with a feed grain size of up to approximately 150 mm. The use of an air swept roller mill is advantageous, in which the comminution and de-agglomeration, if necessary drying, and at the same time a separation into an extensively mineral-free metal fraction and a virtually metal-free silicate fraction are brought together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a multi-gas burner having at least one burner lance with a first, second and third nozzle and having a first, second and a third feed chamber. It is provided according to the invention that for high-calorific operation air is fed via the first nozzle, O2-depleted gas via the second nozzle and the high-calorific combustion gas via the third nozzle into the combustion chamber, where they are combusted. Furthermore the invention relates to a multi-gas burner for operation with a low-calorific and a high-calorific combustion gas.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solid fired hot gas generator which comprises a plurality of solid burners for extending the regulating range, which form a multiple solid burner with an enlarged regulating range. A solid feed and a combustion air feed are assigned to each solid burner and with the aid of a dosing means a separate, dosed solid feed to each solid burner is guaranteed. The firing power of the multiple solid burner which is in particular a multiple impulse burner extends from the minimum power of one of the solid burners to the maximum power of all solid burners so that a regulation of all necessary load regions of a plant unit to be supplied is covered.

Abstract: Apparatus for the combustion of vanadium-containing fuels that makes use of the extremely high reactivity of the vanadium-containing fuels for combustion in a dust furnace. To avoid disadvantageous slag caking in a combustion area and in particular in the vicinity of the feed nozzles, e.g. for the pulverized fuel-air mixture and for combustion air, in a dust furnace, a top burner is placed in a roof of a combustion area and at least one dust nozzle is so positioned for the supply of the pulverized fuel-air mixture that a return flow of liquid slag particles to the top burner is prevented.
