  • Patent number: 10174389
    Abstract: A method for treating desulfurization slag involves conveying desulfurization slag from pig iron desulfurization to a unit where the desulfurization slag is melted at a temperature of at least 1,400° C. In the unit, a thorough mixing is achieved. The treatment takes place in the unit under oxidizing conditions. Sulfur dioxide is generated and collected from the roasting gas and supplied for further utilization.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160289783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating desulfurization slag, in which desulfurization slag from pig iron desulfurization is conveyed to a suitable unit in which the desulfurization slag is melted at a temperature of at least 1,400° C., said unit assuring a thorough mixing, and the treatment takes place in the unit under slightly oxidizing conditions, with the SO2 generated being collected from the roasting gas and supplied for further utilization.

  • Patent number: 9261539
    Abstract: A method for measuring an electrical current with the aid of a field effect transistor inserted into a current path is disclosed, in which a control voltage is applied between the gate and source of the transistor in such a way that the voltage drop between the drain and source at the transistor in the current path remains within a specifiable range. Further, said voltage drop and the control voltage are determined. With these two values, and with a known relationship between the drain-source current, the drain-source voltage and the gate-source voltage the value of the current of interest can now be determined. Apparatus for implementing the method according to the invention is, furthermore, disclosed.
