A method for the granulation of a metallurgical slag includes blowing, from a blower or air nozzle, heated air onto liquid slag to atomize the liquid slag and subsequently form granulated slag as the atomized slag cools. The granulated slag is blown into and collected by a working chamber. In order to ensure a high quality of the granulated slag and operate in an energy-efficient manner, the atomization is provided by blowing a heated air jet free from the addition of water onto the liquid slag. The granulated slag particles are collected in the floor region of the working chamber. Air that is released from the working chamber is either supplied to a heat exchanger, which further heats the air jet blown onto the liquid slag, or the released air is directly recirculated to the blower or air nozzle in order to atomize the supply of liquid slag.

Method for granulating a metallurgical slag

The invention relates to a device and to a method for sensing a conveying rate at which liquid material is filled into a metallurgical target vessel () from a pivotable starting vessel (). For this purpose, means for determining an amount of liquid material with which the initial vessel () has been filled and means for sensing an amount of the liquid material which is discharged toward the target vessel () or filled into the target vessel () by pivoting of the starting vessel () are provided.
