    Abstract: Pumping apparatus comprises a granular material pump assembly and a distributor having a distribution end for distributing granular material. The granular material pump assembly is configured to pump granular material through the distributor towards the distribution end. The distributor is configured to permit granular material to exit the distributor at the distribution end when an amount of granular material pumped towards the distribution end exceeds a threshold, for example wherein the distributor comprises a valve assembly configured to permit granular material to exit the distributor at the distribution end when the amount of granular material pumped towards the distribution end exceeds the threshold, optionally wherein the valve assembly comprises a valve configured to open to permit granular material to exit the distributor at the distribution end when the amount of granular material pumped towards the distribution end exceeds the threshold.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to damage detection systems for refractory linings for molten metal vessels, comprising an electrically conductive grid disposed underneath the surface of the refractory lining closest to a molten metal when in use, one or more electrically conductive electrodes disposed in contact with the molten metal when in use and an electrical power source, wherein the electrically conductive metallic grid and the one or more electrically conductive electrodes are electrically connected to each other, such as to form an open electrical circuit powered by the said electrical power source, and a detected closure of the said electrical circuit during normal use of the molten metal vessel indicates that the said refractory lining is damaged, or the presence of a molten metal during normal operation of the vessel closes the said electrical circuit in case the refractory lining is damaged. The present invention relates to a method for detecting damage in a refractory lining during use, and the use of a damage detection system according to the invention.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a polymer-based foam composition comprising a polymer and up to 20 M.-% particles of one or more inorganic particulate materials, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the one or more inorganic particulate materials comprise less than 20 wt.-% Al, calculated as Al2O3-content. According to one aspect, the one or more inorganic particulate materials comprise phyllosilicates. Also part of the present invention is the use of such polymer-based foam compositions and their method of production.
