321 Ultrasonic conditioning and wet scubbing of fly ash US40515 1998-03-17 US5840179A 1998-11-24 Rafic Y. Minkara; Jerry L. Heavilon
Processes for treating fly ash to enhance the fly ash as a pozzolan for portland cement mixes and to separate therefrom a substantial carbon compound and/or to increase the fineness of the fly ash include the treatment of a fly ash slurry with ultrasonic energy using ultrasonic horns immersed in a slurry of fly ash and water and imparting to said slurry such ultrasonic energy as to cause microscopic cavities to form and implode with high localized energy to break up fly ash agglomerations along cleavage lines and to break up carbon particles and matrices which have entrapped fly ash microspheres therein to release the microspheres into the slurry. A conditioner agent may be added at or during ultrasonic treatment to enhance the flotation of the carbon compound.
322 Device for disintegration of argillaceous materials US765299 1997-02-24 US5794863A 1998-08-18 Vladimir Georgievich Kochnev; Sergey Albertovich Simankin
A device for disintegration of argillaceous materials comprises a plurality of vanes 8 mounted on the inner surface of the housing 1 between the outlets of the feed pipes 2 and 3 and the inlets of the discharge pipes 4 and 5. Each of the vanes 8 is arranged in a manner such that the angle between the tangent 11 to the cylindrical surface 1 in the plane of the vane 8 and the plane 12 perpendicular to the axis 6 of the housing 1, is between 0 and 60 degrees. As the hydraulic fluid stream impinges upon the vanes 8, the argillaceous material is multiply exposed to pressure differentials and cavitation, this favoring faster impregnation of clay lumps with water and their disintegration leading to separation of mineral grams.
323 Apparatus, system and method for treating process material such as waste material US447036 1995-05-22 US5655718A 1997-08-12 Joseph Anderson
An apparatus for treating process material includes a vessel into which process material can be introduced, an arrangement for introducing steam into the interior of the vessel to heat and impart moisture to process material in the vessel, and several fluid transport conduits extending helically through the vessel for conveying heated fluid through the vessel between opposite ends of the vessel in order to raise the temperature and pressure within the vessel to treat the material while also allowing the moisture content of the process material to be reduced. The fluid transport conduits are also configured to contact the process material and assist in treating and densifying the material. The vessel can also be adapted to be pivoted so that the forward end of the vessel can be selectively positioned above and below a horizontal position. The vessel can also be interconnected with one or more similarly configured vessels to define a system for treating process material. The system can include an arrangement that allows steam and heat from a hot vessel to be conveyed to a cold vessel. A method for treating process material can include introducing process material into two different vessels, raising the temperature within one of the vessels through the introduction of steam to heat the material in the vessel, and reducing the temperature in the one vessel while also increasing the temperature in the other vessel by venting the interior of the one vessel to the interior of the other vessel.
324 Method and apparatus for dividing and separating self-adhesive composite plastic materials US610628 1996-03-04 US5647544A 1997-07-15 Ralph Greiner; Michele Melchiorre; Bjorn Stuckrad
A method and apparatus for the single type recovery of plastic materials from starting pieces of a multiple composite material is disclosed. The starting pieces are firstly comminuted mechanically into particles of a size compatible with the process. These composite materials particularly are separated and a mixture of different materials is produced and, from this material mixture, the individual materials are isolated. For the recovery of starting pieces of prepreg fabric from flexible cutting residues, lined with films on both sides, the following steps are performed in sequence. First, the starting pieces are comminuted by cutting them up into shreds of composite material. Then the shreds of composite material are cooled down to temperatures below room temperature and, in a cold state, are subjected to a mechanical alternating bending stress and/or a shearing stress, the films becoming detached from the prepreg pieces in a scale-like manner to form a mixture. This mixture of film clippings and free prepreg pieces is subjected to a wet, density-selective flotation-like float and sink separation, the films floating and the free prepreg pieces sinking.

327 Ultrasonic vibrator tray apparatus US189361 1988-05-02 US4919807A 1990-04-24 William E. Morton; Harold V. Fairbanks; James Wallis; Raymond L. Hunicke; Joseph Krenicki
Processes and apparatus for treatment of flowing slurries of particulate material mixed in liquid employ a wide, elongated downwardly-slanted, metal tray with upturned edge flanges, cable-suspended for unrestrained vibratory flexing and undulation. The tray is provided with a plurality of ultrasonic transducers mounted on its underside, and the flowing slurry is delivered to the upper tray end, flowing lengthwise down the tray in a shallow flowing sheet. Ultrasonic vibratory energy coupled through the tray to the flowing slurry has a "microscopic scrubbing" action on all particles and agglomerates, breaking the surface tension on the particle, cleaning particle surfaces, and separating different constituent particles and coatings of gels, slimes, algae, clay or mud. Mixtures of fine particles of coal or other valuable minerals with ash, clay, rock or sand particles are separated with unexpected efficiency by these techniques. In a second embodiment, a second reflection tray is provided superimposed on the first tray.
328 System and method for recovery of salvageable ferrous and non-ferrous metal components from incinerated waste materials, and a selective crusher therefor US116399 1987-11-03 US4815667A 1989-03-28 Samuel Keller
The present invention pertains to a system and a method for recovering salvageable ferrous and non-ferrous materials from incinerated waste materials including friable, carbonaceous incineration byproducts such as ash and associated ferrous and non-ferrous metal components. The system includes at least one crushing means for selectively comminuting friable material comprised of a rotating roll having at least one protrusion, preferably a weld extending transversely to the direction of rotation of roll, on its exterior cylindrical surfaces in spaced relation to a backing plate. The backing plate is urged toward the roll by a bias means exerted a preferably adjustable pressure sufficient to comminute the friable carbonaceous material to a desired size, and insufficient so as to permit the backing plate to retract and allow passage of ferrous and non-ferrous components in the waste material through the crushing means substantially uncomminuted. The bias means tends to rapidly urge the retracted backing plate to its set position and exert a selective comminution pressure through the retraction cycle. At last a first separating means coacts with the first crushing means for at least partially separating comminuted carbonaceous incineration byproducts from ferrous and non-ferrous metal components; and first magnetic means separates ferrous metal components from the waste material. The present invention further relates to a novel crusher for selectively comminuting friable materials without substantially comminuting associated malleable materials.
329 Separation of mixtures of bituminous coal and lower rank coal by selective chemical comminution US550709 1983-11-14 US4630778A 1986-12-23 Ju-Nam Chew
Method for separating a mixture of bituminous coal and a lower rank coal such as subbituminous, lignite, and mixtures thereof, comprising contacting the coal mixture with an effective amount of an aqueous chemical comminuting solution for a sufficient time to selectively comminute a substantial portion of one of the ranks of coal in the mixture. Thereafter, the comminuted coal and noncomminuted coal of different rank is separated from the chemical comminuting solution. The smaller comminuted coal particles of one rank are then separated from the larger noncomminuted coal of the other rank by screening. Substantially anhydrous methanol or an aqueous methanol solution is used to selectively comminute the bituminous rank coal whereas an aqueous alkaline solution, preferably aqueous sodium hydroxide, is used to selectively comminute the lower rank coal.

331 Reducing ash content of lignite US574484 1984-01-27 US4575011A 1986-03-11 Roger W. Fenstermaker
Mine-run lignite having an unsalably high content of ash-producing clay is treated selectively to shatter the more friable portions; the effluent from the shattering operation is classified by size; at least the classification containing the smallest particles is discarded; and particles of size larger than those discarded are combined to produce a mixture of lower ash producing clay content. Preferably, the classified effluent is separated into a first portion containing the larger, salable particles; a second portion containing medium-size particles which contains too much clay to be readily salable with the medium-size particle mixture subjected to further treatment such as jigging or heavy media separation to yield a product of clay content that is salable; and a third portion of smaller size particles which is discarded.

334 Coal composition US295755 1981-08-24 US4377392A 1983-03-22 Lester G. Massey; Robert I. Brabets; William A. Abel
A shattered hydrocarbonaceous product comprising a mixture of discrete comminuted hydrocarbonaceous particles having a volumetric mean particle size equivalent to less than about 5 microns in diameter separate from or in admixture with discrete inorganic and mineral particles having a mean particle size substantially the same as in the unshattered original solid is disclosed. The shattered product is produced by the explosive comminution of a slurry of fluid permeable hydrocarbonaceous solid which was heated and pressurized to supercritical conditions and then permitted to suddenly expand. The product hydrocarbonaceous fraction is substantially scissioned from the mineral fraction and has a lower density, greater solvent solubility and different reactivity to oxygen than does the feed solid. This hydrocarbonaceous fraction also includes a subfraction of particles having a particle size, by volume distribution, of less than about 2 microns in diameter which contain substantially no sulfur compounds. In addition, the product hydrocarbonaceous fraction has a solubility in methanol at least about twice that of a product produced by explosive comminution at sub-critical conditions.
335 Method for removing undesired components from coal US261470 1981-05-07 US4364740A 1982-12-21 Lester G. Massey; Robert I. Brabets; William A. Abel
A process is disclosed for treating a fluid-permeable hydrocarbonaceous solid, such as coal, containing an admixture of hydrocarbonaceous components and mineral and sulfur components, to separate the solid into a hydrocarbonaceous enriched fraction and a mineral and sulfur enriched fraction. The process involves comminuting the solid in the presence of a low molecular weight alcohol under conditions sufficient to substantially scission the hydrocarbonaceous components from the mineral and sulfur components and to selectively comminute the hydrocarbonaceous components. The resultant product is thereafter separated into the enriched hydrocarbonaceous fraction and the enriched mineral and sulfur fraction.In a preferred embodiment of the process, the hydrocarbonaceous solid is mixed with a low molecular weight alcohol, such as methanol, to form a slurry. The slurry is then heated and pressurized to a temperature and pressure above the critical temperature and pressure of the alcohol. In particularly preferred form, the slurry is heated for a sufficient length of time to form: (1) a dissolved portion of the hydrocarbonaceous components in alcohol; (2) an undissolved suspended portion of hydrocarbonaceous material saturated with the alcohol; and (3) a discrete undissolved suspended portion of the mineral components. The superheated slurry is thereafter expanded, preferably by a substantially instantaneous adiabatic expansion, most preferably in the presence of a sulfur scavenger compound. The result is a selective precipitation, comminution and production of substantially mineral and sulfur free, ultra-fine hydrocarbonaceous particles in admixture with discrete relatively larger mineral particles.
336 Method for separating undesired components from coal by an explosion type comminution process US127740 1980-03-06 US4313737A 1982-02-02 Lester G. Massey; Robert I. Brabets; William A. Abel
A process for the fractionation of a porous or fluid-permeable hydrocarbonaceous solid, such as coal, containing an admixture of mineral matter and hydrocarbonaceous matter, into a separate mineral enriched fraction and a separate hydrocarbonaceous enriched fraction is disclosed. In this process, the hydrocarbonaceous solid is comminuted to convert the hydrocarbonaceous matter in the coal into discrete particles having a mean volumetric diameter of less than about 5 microns without substantially altering the size of the mineral matter originally present in the coal. As a result of this comminution, the hydrocarbonaceous particles can be fractionated from the mineral particles to provide a hydrocarbon fraction having a lesser concentration of minerals than in the original uncomminuted material and a mineral fraction having a higher concentration of minerals than in the original uncomminuted material.A preferred method for comminuting the porous or fluid-permeable hydrocarbonaceous solid, i.e. coal, is to first form a slurry of coal and a fluid such as water. This slurry is then heated and pressurized to temperatures and pressures in excess of the critical temperature and pressure of the fluid.The resultant supercritically heated and pressurized slurry is then passed to an expansion zone maintained at a lower pressure, preferably about ambient pressure, to effect comminution or shattering of the solid by the rapid expansion or explosion of the fluid forced into the coal during the heating and pressurization of the slurry.The supercritical conditions employed produce a shattered product comprising a mixture of discrete comminuted hydrocarbonaceous particles having a volumetric mean particle size equivalent to less than about 5 microns in diameter and discrete inorganic and mineral particles having a mean particle size substantially unchanged from that in the original solid. This mineral fraction, in turn, is then fractionated from the hydrocarbonaceous fraction.
