    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus for winnowing. In one aspect, a method includes loading an initial material into a winnowing system via a feed member; feeding the material into a fluidically accelerated winnowing cavity, where the initial material impacts at least one plate member to yield chaff material and processed material, and where the processed material and the chaff material circulate in the winnowing cavity; and separating the chaff material and the processed from the winnowing cavity based on density. Other aspects include yielding intermediate material, where the intermediate material reimpacts the at least one plate member until yielding chaff material and processed material, preprocessing the initial material, controlling the flow of initial material into the winnowing cavity with a feed gate, where the chaff material egresses the winnowing cavity via a chaff chute, where the chaff material collects in a collection cavity, and/or more.

    摘要: A vertical roller mill provided with a cyclone-type fixed separator that separates fine powder and allows the separated powder to flow out to the outside, the cyclone-type fixed separator being provided inside a housing, wherein the fixed separator is configured so that a solid-gas two-phase flow is introduced from a fixed blade inlet window opening on a cone into the inside and the solid-gas two-phase flow is swirled using a fixed blade attached in the inside vicinity of the fixed blade inlet window, whereby the fine powder flows out to the outside from a pulverized coal outlet in an upper portion of the vertical roller mill through the lower end side of an inner cylinder provided inside the cone, a surface layer in which the rebound coefficient of collided particles is higher than in an iron plate surface being formed in the outer surface of the inner cylinder.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and system for the environmental remediation of materials that are contaminated with heavy minerals, such as heavy metals. The invention finds utility in removing heavy minerals from materials such as soils, sediments, mine tailings and ores. The invention provides a means for removing heavy minerals from contaminated materials without the use of water while reducing the generation of dust. Thus, the invention provides an environmentally friendly method for the remediation of sites that are contaminated with heavy minerals.

    摘要: The powder classifying apparatus classifies raw material powder having a particle size distribution into fine powder and coarse powder and includes a disk-like centrifuge chamber formed as a space between two facing members, a plurality of air nozzles for supplying gas into the centrifuge chamber to generate a whirling stream, a raw material ejecting nozzle for supplying the raw material powder to the whirling stream generated in the centrifuge chamber, a fine powder collecting tube disposed in a central portion of one of the two facing members and communicating with the centrifuge chamber to discharge the gas including the fine powder separated in the centrifuge chamber to the outside, a cylindrical first wall disposed at an opening portion formed of the fine powder collecting tube, and a cylindrical second wall disposed on the other one of the two facing members and facing the first wall with a given interval.

    摘要: An aerodynamic recirculating separator of bulk materials that includes an air blower capable of forming an air stream, an outlet stream directing means, a separation chamber including two inlets and two outlets, a loading hopper, at least one discharge channel, a return air duct including a plurality of turning portions, and at least one residue collection chamber. An outlet of the air blower connects to the first inlet of the separation chamber, an outlet of the loading hopper connects to the second inlet of the separation chamber, the first outlet of the separation chamber connects to the return air duct, and the second outlet of the separation chamber connects to the at least one discharge channel. The air blower, the separation chamber, and the return air duct are consecutively connected so as to form a recirculation channel. The separator forms a material particle flow from the loading hopper to the separation chamber, to distribute commercial particles by their aerodynamic parameters in the separation chamber as the commercial particles fall from the loading hopper and are blown by the air stream formed by the air blower, and to remove the commercial particles through the at least one discharge channel. The separator forces remaining material particles into the at least one horizontally flared portion, directs at least a part of the remaining material particles into a residue collection chamber by way of gravity, and injects air into the separation chamber via the discharge channels. The first downstream horizontally flared portion includes a downwardly curved bottom wall and an opening in communication with said flared portion and the external environment. The opening is disposed in a smooth turn zone from said flared portion to the first of the plurality of turning portions, which has an upward turn.

    摘要: A cyclone main body includes a cylinder-shaped upper barrel and an inverse cone-shaped lower barrel; a top plate which covers a top edge of the upper barrel and includes an opening at a center portion; a first introduction pipe which introduces a first fluid containing powder along an inner wall surface of the cyclone main body; a second introduction pipe which is disposed near the top plate in a portion upper than the first introduction pipe and introduces a second fluid; an exhaust pipe which is inserted in the opening of the top plate along a vertical center axis of the cyclone main body, makes an exhaust flow rise from the cyclone main body, and discharges the exhaust flow from the cyclone main body; and a collecting section which collects powder separated by turning movement of each of the first fluid and the second fluid in the cyclone main body.

    摘要: A contactor is positioned coaxially with and substantially within at least one separator, and otherwise is configured to receive aerosolized target particles of interest as a sample. The use of a plurality of separators that are coaxial with each other and the contactor increases the number of separations involving target particles and other constituents of air at a sampling point, whereby in some embodiments the separators are rotatably configurable relative to each other and to the contactor.
