摘要:
In a method for separating low density particles from feed slurries, a bubbly mixture is formed in a downcomer and issues into a mid region in a chamber. An inverted reflux classifier is formed by parallel inclined plates below the mid region allowing for efficient separation of low density particles which rise up to form a densely packed foam in the top of the chamber, and denser particles which fall downwardly to an outlet.

The present invention provides a rail conveyor system of the type having a rail track (9) including a delivery run (1) extending between a loading end (5) and a discharge end (6) and a return run (12) extending from the discharge end (6) to the loading end (5), a plurality of carriages (8) spaced apart from one another and arranged to run on wheels (24) supported by the track (9), and a continuous carry belt (10) supported by the carriages (8); wherein, at least at the discharge end (6), the carriages (8) are turned around to return to the loading end (5) by being entrained around only one or more vertical turnover wheels (7) arranged such that the carriages (7) are delivered to the return run (12) beneath the delivery run (1).
摘要:
A flotation separation apparatus for separating particles in suspensions, feeds slurry containing the particles through an inlet into a contactor where gas is fed through an inlet to mix with the slurry, for example in a downwardly plunging jet, to form a gas-liquid bubbly two-phase mixture under pressure from an outlet restriction in a throttling duct. The mixture is passed through a flow manipulator configured to induce a high energy dissipation rate, for example by way of a Shockwave formed in a diverging section of the throttling duct reducing the size of the bubbles and brining those bubbles into intimate contact with particles in the mixture which is released into a separation cell where a flow manipulating draft tube is provided to reduce turbulence in the mixture. Alternative apparatus and methods for inducing the high energy dissipation rate and for reducing turbulence in the mixture are also described and claimed.

A method and apparatus for removing methane from ventilation air in a mining situation is provided by a carbonation reactor CAR which reacts a ventilation air methane stream VAR with a carbon dioxide scavenger to form a mineral carbonate which is passed to a calcination reactor CAL in which a regeneration reaction decomposes the mineral carbonate back to a mineral or mineral oxide. Additional heat may be added to the CAL by steam, solar energy or by burning drainage gas, natural gas, or coal. Steam or supercritical fluid given off by the CAR can be utilized for heating, cooling, or energy generation. The carbon dioxide scavenger can be any metal, metal oxide, mineral or mineral waste having a carbonation tendency, used in the process referred to as “Mineral Carbonate Looping Reactor” (MCLR), or can be stone dust from the mining site used in the process referred to as “Stone Dust Looping Reactor” (SDLR).

Provided herein are methods and compositions for the targeted delivery to myometrial tissue of one or more agents capable of regulating contractility of myometrial tissue, wherein the one or more agents are contained or encapsulated within a polymeric delivery vehicle conjugated with one or more molecules that recognizes and/or is capable of binding, directly or indirectly, to the oxytocin receptor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for the separation of materials from heterogeneous fluids and provides a means of effecting stimulant-sensitive flocculation and consolidation of solid suspensions within a liquid medium. Specifically, the present invention provides a method of controlling the state of a suspension of solid particles in a liquid, including applying to the suspension a stimulus adapted to control inter-particle forces between the solid particles. The stimulus is reversibly operable to control attraction and/or repulsion. Means of consolidating a sediment bed and of separating the resultant liquids-rich and solids-rich phases are also within the ambit of the invention.
摘要:
A rail conveyor system combining the low friction attributes of railway transportation with the continuous bulk handling advantages of belt conveyors, uses a multiplicity of spaced carriages running on steel wheels on rail tracks to support a continuous carry belt. The system is driven by various means including a rope extending between the carriages. Various other drive means including drive belt technology are also described along with loading and unloading stations and distributed drive stations.

摘要:
A flotation cell for separating hydrophobic particles from hydrophilic particles uses a mixer (1) with an air inlet (8) and slurry feed (7) to form a bubbly mixture in a u-tube mixer (4, 5, 6) and feed the mixture into a separation vessel (2). Plant cost and operating efficiencies are optimised by gravity feed of slurry and admitting air at atmospheric pressure. The separation vessel (2) has an upper inclined plate (9) which guides the froth layer (33) containing the hydrophobic particles to an overflow launder (11) without any significant turbulence or change in direction optimising the retention of hydrophobic particles in the froth, while the hydrophilic particles drop down in the liquid layer (34) guided along a lower inclined plate (24) to a tailings outlet (14).
摘要:
A method of separating mixed particles in a flotation cell uses a fluidized bed within the cell where particles are fluidized in a quiescent zone by liquid moving upwardly through the fluidized bed. The fluidizing liquid may be provided by the feed or by recycling liquid from upper parts of the cell such as from the disengagement zone. Bubbles are introduced into the lower part of the cell through a mechanical impeller which also breaks up any channels in the mixing zone, or by separate aeration in the bottom of the cell or by introduction through a recycle pipe.
