A SUBSTANTIALLY PURE MAGNESIA OR MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE IS OBTAINED BY PROCEEDING IN SUCCESSION AS FOLLOWS: (A) TREATING A MAGNESIUM SULFATE SUSPENSION OF A MAGNESIUM CONTAINING RAW MATERIAL WITH SULFUR DIOXIDE TO FORM A SOLUTION OF MAGNESIUM BISULFITE UPON RELEASE OF CO2; (B) SEPARATING THE FORMED GYPSUM AND INSOLUBLE RESIDUE FROM THE SAID SOLUTION; (C) CONVERTING THE DISSOLVED MAGNESIUM BISULFITE TO AN INSOLUBLE NEUTRAL HYDRATE OF MAGNESIUM SULFITE THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF CALCIUM; (D) SEPARATING THE HYDRATE FROM THE MOTHER LIQUOR; (E) DEHYDRATING THE SAID MAGNESIUM SULFITE HYDRATE; AND (F) DECOMPOSING THE SULFITE TO MAGNESIUM OXIDE OR MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE WHILE DRAWING OFF THE SULFUR DIOXIDE.
摘要:
An apparatus for carrying out a method of recovering underground deposits of soluble minerals according to which an access shaft is sunk to the region of the deposit and a tunnel is driven from the shaft to the deposit, whereupon an upright working shaft is advanced from the tunnel into the deposit. From the working shaft a plurality of vertically spaced substantially horizontal and at least substantially parallel flushing passages are driven into the deposit, and intermediate these passages the deposit is formed with a plurality of slots each connecting two adjacent ones of the passages and inclined thereto. Water is forced through the passages and slots to dissolve soluble minerals from the deposit and the thus-obtained solution is collected in the respectively lower of the passages. The collected solution is at least substantially saturated with dissolved minerals by supplying it together with fresh water through the deposit to the next lower of the passages. The saturated solution is collected underground and thereupon pumped from below ground to above ground where the dissolved minerals are recovered and where residual water remaining after recovery of the minerals is returned into the passages.

摘要:
A process and burner installation for burning combustible waste product sludges containing solid particulate contaminants, including a nozzle chamber adapted to mix the waste sludge with pressurized air. The static air pressure in the nozzle chamber is maintained at a predetermined pressure head in order to regulate the inlet of sludge to the chamber, so as to thereby effect control over the ratio of sludge to air in the mixture formed for burning.
摘要:
Process in which raw or crude salt and mineral mixture are intensively mixed with an aliphatic, unbranched fatty acid having a chain length of three to 18 carbon atoms or with an aromatic carboxylic acid or with mixtures of said aliphatic and aromatic acids and an ammonium salt of a lower aliphatic acid, and thereafter treated with air having a relative humidity of 5 to 40 percent in an electrostatic separation zone at a temperature of about 15* to about 40* C.
