Abstract:
A flotation machine includes a stator positioned in a tank adjacent a rotor. The stator has a plurality of vanes. Each of the vanes has a plurality of slots formed therein. Each of the slots has a shape that is elongated in a direction along the width of the vane in which the slot is formed. Each of the vanes is spaced apart from the other vanes to which that vane is adjacent. The vanes are positioned in series adjacent a periphery of the stator to define a central opening within the stator that is sized such that the rotor of a flotation machine may be positioned therein. The stator may be retrofitted onto a prior flotation machine installation. For instance, a stator may be offered for sale and then installed onto a flotation machine. A previous stator may be removed before the installation of the new stator.

Abstract:
The present application relates to a rotor (1) for an electrical machine. The rotor (1) comprises at least one substantially cylindrically shaped ferromagnetic base element (2). Said ferromagnetic base element (2) includes a multitude of posts (3, 3.1, 3.2) radially extending therefrom, each of said posts (3, 3.1, 3.2) being bordered by at least a first lateral surface (4) and a second lateral surface (5), wherein recesses (7) are defined between each pair of neighbouring posts (3, 3.1, 3.2). One ferromagnetic intermediate member (13) is arranged in each recess (7) between each pair of posts (3, 3.1, 3.2). Each ferromagnetic intermediate member (13) is affixed to the first lateral surface (4) of a first post (3.1) and to the second lateral surface (5) of a second post (3.2) of each pair of posts (3, 3.1, 3.2) by means of at least one permanent magnet (6, 6.1, 6.2), respectively, said permanent magnets (6, 6.1, 6.2) being each oriented such that the same pole faces said ferromagnetic intermediate members (13). The first lateral surface (4) and said second lateral surface (5) are shaped such that the distance between the first lateral surface (4) and the second lateral surface (5) decreases with increasing distance from the rotation axis (11) of the rotor (1) in a radial direction and an inner surface (15) of each ferromagnetic intermediate member (13) is facing towards the rotor axis (11) and is covered with at least one additional permanent magnet (20.1, 20.2, 20.3). At least one additional permanent magnet (20.1, 20.2, 20.3) is arranged such that the pole oriented towards the ferromagnetic intermediate members (13) and is the same pole as the pole of the permanent magnets (6, 6.1, 6.2) oriented towards said ferromagnetic intermediate members (13).
Abstract:
Disclosed are novel compounds which display enhanced reactive properties due, in part, to induced lattice strain. The new compounds demonstrate accelerated leaching of copper under oxidizing conditions. The activated compounds are produced under conditions of time, temperature, Eh, and pH which retard the rate of lattice strain relaxation. Further disclosed are methods of making and using the novel compounds.
Abstract:
A roller press is disclosed. The roller press [1] may comprise a pair of side-by-side rollers [22] configured to form a nip therebetween. The roller press [1] may further be configured to grind or crush feed material. Each of the side-by-side rollers [22] may share a first end and a second end. A pair of cheek plate assemblies [100, 200, 300, 400] may be provided to the roller press [1], wherein one cheek plate assembly [100, 200, 300, 400] is provided adjacent said first end of the rollers [22] and another cheek plate assembly [100, 200, 300, 400] is provided adjacent said second end of the rollers [22]. Each cheek plate assembly [100, 200, 300, 400] may be configured for engagement with a frame [30] and/or housing [40] portion of the roller press [1]. Cheek plate assemblies [100, 200, 300, 400] may further comprise at least one wear bar [110, 210, 310, 410], wherein the at least one wear bar [110, 210, 310, 410] is configured with a wear surface [118, 218, 318, 418] which is located proximate to a wear zone 180. As the wear bar [110, 210, 310, 410] wears, it may be adjusted via indexing means [126, 226, 326] and held in place via holding means [125, 225, 325, 425].
Abstract:
A system for the continuous monitoring of wear is disclosed. The system comprises a grinding mill (100) having at least one grinding disc (106). At least one detector (141) is provided to the at least one grinding disc (106), and at least one sensor (120) is provided to the grinding mill (100) which is configured to communicate with the at least one detector (141) during operation of the grinding mill (100). In use, the at least one grinding disc (106) wears away and ultimately affects a function of the least one detector (141). The at least one sensor (120) is configured to monitor said function of the least one detector (141). When the at least one sensor (120) detects a change in the signal of the at least one detector (141), an operator is notified that maintenance or grinding disc replacement may be necessary.
