Abstract:
A suspension consisting of a carrier fluid and particles suspended in the carrier fluid is mixed by a nozzle generating a suspension jet, a feeding device for introducing powder into the suspension jet, a mixing chamber designed to mix the particles with the powder such that the powder adheres to the particles, and a diffuser stabilizing the suspension such that the particles in the suspension form agglomerates due to the powder.
Abstract:
A switch for a high-voltage direct current transmission path includes a vacuum circuit breaker for disconnecting the transmission path and a gas-insulated circuit breaker for disconnecting the transmission path. The gas-insulated circuit breaker is connected in series with the vacuum circuit breaker. A device is provided for building up a counter-current against the current in the transmission path for the purpose of reducing the current across the vacuum circuit breaker. The elements of the switch are actuated by a control device in such a way that the switch is switched off at or close to the zero crossing of the current.
Abstract:
A device separates ferromagnetic particles from a suspension. The device has a tubular reactor through which the suspension can flow and which has a first region and a second region in the passage direction. The device also has a device for generating a magnetic field along an inside reactor wall. In the second region the tubular reactor has a tailings discharge pipe and a concentrate separation channel surrounding said pipe. The cross-sectional area of the tubular reactor in the second region is larger than that in the first region.
Abstract:
A method for magnetic ore separation and/or dressing is provided, in which metalliferous recoverable materials are separated from conveyed metalliferous ore rock. The method may include producing a pulp including metalliferous recoverable material, executing a hydrophobizing reaction of recoverable material in the pulp, synthesizing a hydrophobized, magnetizable material in liquid suspension and adding this suspension to the pulp, causing an agglomeration reaction between hydrophobized magnetizable material and hydrophobized recoverable material to form magnetizable agglomerates in the pulp, separating the magnetizable agglomerates from the pulp, mixing separation products containing the agglomerates with a non-polar liquid insoluble in water and decomposing the agglomerates in the non-polar liquid into magnetizable material and recoverable material, separating the magnetizable material from the recoverable material, and removing moisture from the separation portion containing the recoverable material of the second separation stage to synthesize the recoverable material.
Abstract:
A device for introducing dust into a molten bath of a pyrometallurgical installation is provided. An electrodeless plasma torch includes an essentially tubular housing, wherein the housing allows a passage of a carrier gas containing dust particles, and wherein the housing is coaxially surrounded by an inductive load coil which forms a heating zone.
Abstract:
A device (1) has a series circuit of submodules with a power semiconductor circuit and an energy accumulator connected in parallel with the power semiconductor circuit. Each submodule is associated with a short circuit device for shorting the submodule. The short circuit device is a vacuum switching tube. The device is cost-effective and at the same time enables safe bridging of a defective submodule.
