  • Fig. la shows a rotary atomising granulator 1 having a cup or dish shaped disk 2 mounted on a support 3 for rotation about an axis of rotation 6, the support being attached to a rotatable base 4.
  • the disk 2 has sidewalls 10 and rotates within a shroud 5.
  • the rotatable base 4 is connected to a variable speed drive shaft (not shown).
  • the rotating disk 2 is typically formed in section as the segment of a circle. The radius of the circle varies depending on the diameter of the disk so that the edge of the disk is inclined at a preferred angle to the horizontal.
  • the angle ⁇ of the disk 2 at its outermost edge is preferably chosen such that an extension 9 of a chord 7 between two points A, B on the circumference of the disk passing through the axis of rotation 6 forms an angle of between 30 and 50 degrees to a tangent 8 of the disk surface at the edge of the disk pointing towards the axis of rotation, as illustrated in Fig. lb.
  • the preferred edge angle is 40 degrees.
  • the diameter of the dish is chosen dependent upon the design slag flow rate and a preferred speed of rotation of the disk, which is intended to avoid slag wool generation and to produce correctly sized slag droplets.
  • the disk is made of a metal, such as stainless steel, typically 31 OSS, or spheroidal graphite (SG) iron, or mild steel, although other suitable metals may be used.
  • the metals need to be able to cope with the operating temperatures encountered in slag granulation and have good thermal conductivity.

  • FIG.3 illustrates using cooling sprays and in Fig.4 using a flow of coolant.
  • the coolant is applied to the underside 18 of the disk 2, away from the surface 23 onto which the slag falls during operation.
  • the examples show the disk 2 mounted on its support 3.
  • This support may be a cylindrical support, concentric with the axis of rotation 6, attached to the base 4.
  • the support 3 is typically a punctuated support to allow the coolant to reach the surface 18 of the disk nearer to the centre of the disk.
  • a plurality of support columns at least 3, preferably 4 are provided, spaced substantially equidistant from one another in contact with the disk surface 18.
  • coolant sprays 13 as shown in Fig.3.
  • any suitable coolant could be used, water is preferred, as it is easily available, relatively inexpensive and does not require special storage conditions.
  • the underside 18 of the dish is cooled by one or more water sprays 13.
  • the rotation of the cup 2 and application of coolant ensures a good heat transfer coefficient (HTC) to keep the metal dish within its operating range of temperature.
  • the cooling effect of the water on the underside is enhanced by the velocity of rotation.
  • the thermal conductivity of metals such as stainless steel, spheroidal graphite (SG) iron, mild steel, low carbon steel with a carbon content of less than 0.15%, or copper are such that applying cooling to the underside 18 causes a layer 22 of solidified slag to form on the upper surface 23.
  • Operating temperature and thermal conductivity of the metal, in combination, influence the choice of material. Copper has a lower operating temperature, but conducts heat away more quickly, leading to a thicker layer of solidified slag forming on its upper surface, so still giving sufficient protection against wear caused by the impact of the hot slag.
  • the solidified slag layer follows the outline of the metal disk.
  • the thickness of the solidified slag layer is such that the shape of the disk is not changed, and particularly, the shape of the disk lip is not changed.
  • the advantage of the formation of this layer 22 is that it protects the metal surface 23 which might otherwise suffer thermal shock caused by contact with each new molten slag flow 25 landing on the surface of the disk 2.
  • This protective layer is illustrated in Figs.7 and 8.
  • the slag 25 is supplied via an outlet of a slag runner or tundish (not shown) and falls substantially vertically through the outlet onto the centre of the rotating disk. Use of a tundish allows irregularities in the slag flow from the blast furnace to be evened out.
  • the top surface of the disk finishes at its outer edge with a 90 degree angle between that surface and the surface extending over the thickness of the dish material.
  • the water from the water sprays is retained by the rotating side wall 10 of the disk and water thrown off the lower edge of the side wall is retained by the shroud 5 and returned to a sump (not shown).
  • the sprays 13 may be air atomised water sprays provided with an air pipe 12 and a water supply pipe 13.
  • the sprays may be replaced by a flowing fluid cooling system, again typically water cooling.
  • the water is delivered in an annular passage 19 formed between a drive shaft 15 and a stationary pipe 14.
  • One end 16 of the pipe is attached to a stationary dish 17 shaped with substantially similar contouring to the contours of the underside 18 of the granulating disk 2 and spaced from the underside 18 by a small amount.
  • the water flows between the stationary dish 17 and the rotating disk 2 and discharges at the outer radius 20 into a cavity 21 below the stationary dish and is returned to the sump.
  • This design means that there is no need for more complex sealing between the rotating dish 2 and the shroud 5.
  • the rotatable disk 2 may be provided with terracing 24 on its upper surface 23. Examples of terracing are shown in Figs. 5 and 6 for the examples of Figs.3 and 4. A series of terraces 24 are formed in the upper surface 23 of the disk 2, for example by casting, machining, or pressing.
  • the mechanism used is chosen according to the material properties, some being easier to machine or cast. Pressing and welding on terracing involves more process steps and potential issues with the integrity of the weld at typical operating temperatures make this option less preferred.
  • the terracing 24 helps to ensure that the protective layer 22 of solidified slag is formed at the start of operation and remains in place and does not slip off during slag granulation.
  • the number of terraces 24 is dependant upon the diameter of the disk 2 and optionally, each of the terraces is arranged to have equal areas in plan view, resulting in the terraces being closer together at larger radii where the forces tending to remove the slag layer are greater.
  • the terracing aids in the formation and retention of a protective slag layer on the dish surface, which helps to reduce damage due to thermal shock and therefore leads to increased service life.
  • the terracing may be used on an otherwise substantially flat rotating disk, such as that shown in Fig.2, or the surface of the disk could be roughened, or provided with protruding tags to slow the first slag that impacts on the metal surface, enough that the cooling effect forms the protective layer.
  • the support 3 is modified to comprise a cylinder 28, typically made of metal, which is connected, e.g. by welding to both the disk 2 and the rotating part 4.
  • the disk 2 is annular. In the centre 29 of the disk, there is no metal, leaving the cylinder 28 open where it joins the disk 2.
  • the disk is provided with terracing on the upper surface beyond the maximum radius of the cylinder. Up to the minimum radius of the terracing 24, i.e.
  • the cylinder 28 is filled with a castable refractory 26, comprising slag which forms a solid impact pad for the molten slag.
  • a castable refractory 26 comprising slag which forms a solid impact pad for the molten slag.
  • this filling could be made separately and dropped into the cylinder, in which case, the supports may be punctuated or columnar as previously, a cylinder open only at the slag receiving surface has the advantage that molten material can be poured in and cooled, so that the solidified slag filler so formed replenishes the impact pad if it wears down. It is also more robust and easier to manufacture, so whether spray or flowing coolant are used, a cylinder closed by the rotatable base and only open where it joins the disk 2 is generally preferred.
  • the design is very durable. Any maintenance, if required, amounts to simply refilling the cylinder 28 with castable refractory, such as ceramic refractory, solidified slag, or crushed filing of old slag, or other suitable material with insulating, rather than conducting, properties.
  • replacing the centre 29 of the rotating disk with a replaceable refractory section has he advantages of dealing with the issue of poor heat transfer due to the difficulties of applying sufficient cooling in the centre of the metal disk, where the slag impacts, which may lead to excessive wear and therefore the requirement to replace or repair the dish. This is not a problem in other areas of the dish, where there is no direct contact with hot slag, so installing a replaceable centre section is an effective solution without losing the advantages of a metal rotatable disk with cooling and terracing.
