摘要:
A method and apparatus for granulation in which particulate feed material is charged into a rotary cylindrical vessel (12) having its axis disposed horizontally, and respective cover plate (16,18) at each end for retaining the feed material, and a treatment gas and a process liquid is passed into the vessel during rotation of the latter. The gas is supplied from a source thereof, via a supply pipe (34), and discharged within a bed of the feed material (38) in the vessel (12) through port means (44,48) of at least one discharge conduit (42) which is in communication with the supply pipe (34), extends longitudinally within the vessel (12) and is fixed against rotation with the vessel (12); and the process liquid, selected from solutions, suspensions and melts of solids to be granulated, is distributed over the surface of the bed of feed material from sprays (59) spaced longitudinally in the vessel (12) to effect heat transfer between the feed material, the treatment gas and the liquid for formation granules of the solid and feed material.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing particulate material charged into a rotary cylindrical vessel (12) having its axis inclined to the horizontal so that one end thereof is raised relative to the other end, and having a respective annular cover plate (16,18) at each end defining a central opening at its end (17,19), the material being charged through the opening (17) at the one end thereof and caused to progress along the vessel (12) and discharge therefrom through the opening (19) at the other end by rotation of the vessel (12). Gas for processing the material is passed into the vessel (12) during rotation of the latter, the gas being supplied from a source thereof, via a supply pipe (34), and discharged within the material (38) in the vessel (12) through port means (44,48) of at least one discharge conduit (42) which is in communication with the supply pipe (34), extends longitudinally within the vessel (12) and is fixed against rotation with the vessel (12); the quantity of material (38) progressing along the vessel (12) being sufficient to cover the at least one conduit (42).
摘要:
A granular fertilizer is prepared by coating particles of a base fertilizer, selected from orthophosphates of calcium, ammonium and potassium and mixtures thereof, with:(a) a first layer comprising 1 to 5% (by weight of the total composition) of water or an aqueous solution of a salt selected from the group of sulphates and phosphates of ammonium or potassium and mixtures thereof; and(b) a second layer comprising (i) elemental sulphur and/or (ii) a supplemental micronutrient, and, if the first layer consists of water only, (iii) 0.1 to 10% (by weight of the total composition) of a salt selected from the group consisting of water-soluble sulphates and phosphates of ammonium or potassium, sulphates of metallic trace elements, and mixtures thereof.
摘要:
The preparation of dry, stable granular material from water-soluble potassium and ammonium salts and a mixture thereof by subjecting a dispersion of crystals of the salt in an aqueous liquid to the action of a granulating device in the presence of calcium sulphate hemihydrate and a hydrophilic surface active agent to effect agglomeration of said crystals, and thereafter subjecting the agglomerated crystals to a drying operation.
摘要:
An improved method of operating a display device having a bistable liquid crystal layer disposed in a conductor matrix consisting of rows and columns characterized by applying the various signals as a sequence of elementary pulses and during the addressing of a row, erasing the plurality of the next following rows. The method utilizes a two-phase write-in technique which produces images having a good optical quality and enables utilizing integrated circuits.
