Abstract:
A classifier cleaning and optimization device is provided. The device includes a chamber that is adapted to contain a fluidized bed, an array of two or more adjacently arranged inclined plates positioned above the fluidized bed wherein an inclined channel is formed between each pair of adjacent inclined plates, and a means for introducing a process liquid into the chamber between the fluidized bed and the array of inclined plates such that in use, the process fluid travels through at least one of the inclined channels. A method of cleaning the separation section of a classifier is also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for processing waste incineration ashes (A), in particular domestic waste incineration ashes (HMVA), in which the ashes are classified into a plurality of fractions of different grain size distributions in a processing plant (11) separated from the actual waste incineration process. The ashes (A) are classified exclusively using a wet classification process in the processing plant (11), only wet classification processes that are gentle to the grains being used, and the wet classification process is performed in such a way that all of the ashes (A) are classified into at least one fine fraction (I) loaded with harmful substances and at least one coarse fraction (II, III) that contains only a small amount of harmful substances or no harmful substances at all.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufbereiten von Müllverbrennungsasche, insbesondere von Hausmüllverbrennungsasche (HMVA), bei dem die Asche in einer von der eigentlichen Müllverbrennung getrennten Aufbereitungsanlage in eine Mehrzahl von Fraktionen unterschiedlicher Korngrößenverteilung klassiert wird, wobei in der Aufbereitungsanlage die Klassierung der Asche ausschließlich durch eine Nassklassierung erfolgt, bei der Nassklassierung ausschließlich kornschonende Klassierungsverfahren angewendet werden, und die Nassklassierung derart durchgeführt wird, dass die Asche vollständig in wenigstens eine mit Schadstoffen belastete Feinfraktion und zumindest eine schadstoffarme oder schadstofffreie Grobfraktion klassiert wird.
Abstract:
A flange joint (60) for connecting two objects in a fluid connection so that fluid can flow between the objects. The flange joint (60) has a gasket (65), and the gasket (65) is installed in the flange joint (60). The flange joint (60) has at least one channel (67, 62, 63) for feeding additional fluid from outside of the flange joint (60) through the gasket (65) into fluid flowing between the two objects.
Abstract:
A method of operating an inclined plate classifier having an array of parallel inclined plates (4) within a chamber (1), defining inclined channels (5) between the plates, involves feeding feed material of varying density particles between the plates and providing re-suspension of lower density particles as the feed material moves through the inclined channels (5). Re-suspension is effected either by imposing vibration on the inclined plates by a vibrator (15) or by introducing bubbles between the plates to increase the shear rate in the inclined channels. The method works either for dry processing where the particles are fluidised by a gas, or for wet processing typically using bubbles.
Abstract:
A pre-separator feed well for use with hydrous slurry feed is provided in a hindered-bed separator that includes an elongate body defining an interior space with upper and lower portions. The feed well is elongate and includes a vertically adjustable conical plate adjacent the bottom thereof for control of downward flow of heavy material. The top of the feed well includes an overflow weir including an overflow ring having a plurality of vertical slots through which flows the lighter material onto an overflow weir adjacent an overflow launder and to an outlet pipe. Feed is introduced into the upper portion of the feed well in a tangential manner. A perforated barrier may be mounted below the feed well in some circumstances. Teeter flow is introduced in a lower portion of the feed well and flows upwardly.
Abstract:
The invention describes a process and a device for recycling sand and can, for instance, be used to recycle part of the reusable cutting agents that accumulate during sandblasting, especially abrasive high pressure water jet cutting, and to produce waste water which can be introduced into a circuit. The method is characterized in that fine grain particles are rinsed in an up-current, sedimented during calming phase of current, after which they are filtered and collected, and large grain particles are carried away, mechanically pre-desiccated, dried and despatched for reuse. The inventive device essentially contains at least one classifier (1) operating according to the principle of up-current separation, connected on the overflow side to at least one fine particle path, comprising a baffle plate clarifier (2a), a sedimentation basin (2b), a take-out device and a final clarifying basin, and connected on the outflow side (2c) to at least one large grain particle path, comprising an intermediate container (3) for large particles, a dryer (4), a tank for dry product (5) and pumps (P1-P4) that pump the solid-laden water out of the cutting basin (10) and redirect the water arising from the fine grain particle path and large grain particle path to the cutting basin (10) as industrial water.
Abstract:
A process and apparatus for the recovery of heavy metals from a heavy metal-contaminated material wherein the heavy metal, or particles containing the heavy metal, are separated from the material by a hydraulic mineral separator. The process and apparatus may be used, for example, in removing or recovering of mercury from a mercury-contaminated soil, caustic sludge, or similar material. The process provides a ready method for removal of mercury from mercury-contaminated materials or, more generally, heavy metals from heavy metal contaminated soils which process can allow recovery of the mercury or heavy metal for re-use. The apparatus allows for continuous operation of the mineral separator and automates various functions of the separator allowing for improved control of the process.
Abstract:
A device for separating organic and inorganic material in a fluid has a round container (1) having in its upper region a centrically arranged feed device (19) with a spinning chamber (22), a gravity pipe (23) and a trumpet-shaped diffuser (24) to introduce the fluid into the container (1). In the lower region (7) of the container (1) there is an extractor device (32) for the inorganic material and a device (29) to discharge the organic material and the fluid. In the lower region (7) of the container (1) there is a fluidised sand bed (14) which is kept in motion by an upward flow distributed via a perforated base (8). In addition there is a by-pass (38) to transfer part of the sand in the sand bed (14) into the extractor (32) in the lower region of the container (1).
Abstract:
Feeder means for feeding particulate material into a liquid stream to produce a slurry of a desired pulp density. The feeder means (100) comprises a housing (106), a feed column (108) extending downwardly into the housing (106), a perforate distribution plate (114) disposed below the lower end of the feed column (108), fluid pulsing means (109) to cause pulses of liquid or gas to fluidise the particulate material on the distribution plate and to cause it to flow over the edge of the distribution plate and into a liquid stream flowing through the housing. The feeder means may also be adapted to fractionate the particulate material according to the size and/or density of the particulate materials.
