Abstract
A process and apparatus for granulating slag in which molten slag is charged into a drum and is solidified and granulated therein on cooled surfaces. To ensure a rapid cooling at a high thruput rate, the molten slag is applied to the inside surface of a drum, which rotates on a horizontal axis and has a cooled shell, and the solidified film of slag is mechanically detached from the inside surface after about three-quarters of a revolution of the drum and is discharged.
