The peculiarities of cooling high-temperature slag melts on moving metal bodies placed on grates forming a cylindrical surface are presented. Metal bodies (spheres) can move along the grate surface and simultaneously extract the heat of the slag melt. To control the cooling process, the design of the unit provides systems for supplying and distributing water and removing a combined-cycle gas mixture. The grate surface in the form of a rotor is covered with a heatproof and soundproof casing, which is connected to a steam–gas mixture removal system. The melt cooled in the rotor cavity enters the trough conveyor. The conveyor is also covered with a casing and connected to the steam–gas mixture removal system. Examples of different modes of slag melt cooling in a rotary-type unit are presented. A variant of discharging cooled slag directly under the rotor into a special box equipped with a sewage drainage system is tested.

These cables actually have the form of a cable made of several layers of steel wires with corrosion-resistant coating and a tubular case made either of aluminum or of stainless steel (central or in a whip) filled with a hydrophobic gel and optical fibers. Circular plastic compression in the process of production of lightning protection cable with integrated optical module enables us to improve the electric contacts of wires in and between the layers and increase both the resistance to the lightning discharge impulse and mechanical strength. For the incorrectly chosen geometric parameters of wires in the first and second layers, circular plastic compression may lead to a significant deformation of the optical module and, as a result, to the unacceptable elevation of the coefficient of attenuation of the transmitted signal. By the method of computer simulation, we determine the value of guaranteed gap between the inner layer of the lightning protection cable with integrated optical module and the central tube guaranteeing the decrease in the level of deformation of the outer shell of the optical module down to admissible values. The possibility of formation of lateral contacts between the wires of the first layer contributing to a decrease in the radial component of pressure transmitted to the surface of the module is demonstrated for the optimized design of the cable.

The porosity of a layer of such products largely determines their behavior during both reduction (in blast furnaces, ore-thermal furnaces, and direct-reduction reactors) and pellet firing. The results obtained made it possible to identify for the first time the local extrema in the porosity of agglomerates and the porosity of a layer of pellets (briquettes).
