Claim Text:
1. A slag powder production system comprising: a first non-contained atomizer and an atomizer containment vessel downstream of the first non-contained atomizer, where the first non-contained atomizer and the atomizer containment vessel have an injected gas and slag; wherein the slag has embedded thermal energy, wherein the injected gas into the first non-contained atomizer has an entering and an exiting temperature, wherein the slag into the first non-contained atomizer has an entering and an exiting temperature, wherein the injected gas entering temperature into the first non-contained atomizer is lower than the slag temperature entering the first non-contained atomizer, wherein the injected gas exiting the first non-contained atomizer is heated by the slag embedded thermal energy within the atomizer containment vessel, and wherein the injected gas exit temperature within the atomizer containment vessel is higher than the injected gas entering temperature within the atomizer containment vessel.
