141 Process for separating polyethylene terephthalate from polyvinyl chloride US697857 1991-05-09 US5120768A 1992-06-09 Edwin A. Sisson
Today there is a growing demand to recycle plastics including polyethylene terephthalate. Sources of polyethylene terephthalate for recycling often contain polyvinyl chloride. It is necessary to separate polyvinyl chloride from the polyethylene terephthalate before it can be recycled into useful products. This invention reveals a process for recovering polyethylene terephthalate flakes from a recycle stream containing polyethylene terephthalate flakes and polyvinyl chloride flakes which comprises: (1) treating the recycle stream with (a) at least one inorganic base selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide and (b) at least one nonionic surfactant under conditions and for a time sufficient to decrease the contact angle of the polyethylene terephthalate flakes with water below a value of 25.degree. while maintaining the contact angle of the polyvinyl chloride flakes above a value of about 45.degree.; (2) adding the treated recycle stream to water, to form an aqueous mixture containing the treated polyethylene terephthalate flakes and treated polyvinyl chloride flakes; (3) agitating the aqueous mixture to allow the polyvinyl chloride flakes to come in contact with gas bubbles; (4) allowing the polyvinyl chloride flakes to float to the surface of the aqueous mixture and allowing the polyethylene terephthalate flakes to sink to the bottom of the aqueous mixture; and (5) removing the polyvinyl chloride flakes from the surface of the aqueous mixture and removing the polyethylene terephthalate flakes from the bottom of the aqueous mixture.
142 Method for achieving enhanced copper flotation concentrate grade by oxidation and flotation US626825 1990-12-13 US5110455A 1992-05-05 Richard O. Huch
The present invention involves a method for separating copper sulfide from rimmed iron sulfide by flotation.

Gold ore, or any other mineral treated to have a lyophilic surface, (e.g. chalcopyrites), is ground into a slurry in crusher (1) powdered coal and oil are added at location (2), and the mix is conveyed to a contact zone (3), where any micro-agglomerates formed are kept below 500 microns in size. Sequentially, the mix is passed to an agglomeration zone (4), where larger agglomerates of coal-oil and gold or the lyophilic mineral are allowed to form, then separated at (5) from the gangue (8), and recycle continuously via return line (6) and homogenister (7) to the contact zone (3), until a desired gold or mineral concentration in the agglomerates is achieved. Subsequently, the `loaded` coal-oil agglomerates are tapped off the return line (6) at (9), either batchwise or continuously, and the metal values are recovered by pyrometallurgical or concentional separation techniques.
152 Process for removing sulfur and ash from coal US598979 1984-04-16 US4537599A 1985-08-27 Edward H. Greenwald, Sr.
A process is disclosed for removing sulfur and ash, particularly clay and pyrite from coal particles having a mesh size of 30 or less. A slurry of coal particles is agitated in an ultrasonic mixer to separate the contaminants from the coal and weaken chemically-bonded contaminants on the coal surface. The clay and pyrite particles are dispersed as a colloid in the aqueous medium of the slurry. Treatment of the slurry with sonic energy also subdivides the particles along ash or clay seams. The slurry is then separated in a centrifuge and in froth-flotation cells so that coal particles greater than 2 microns are recovered and a slurry is again formed. The repulped slurry is then treated with sonic energy and ozone to release further quantities of surface components from the coal particles. The slurry is again treated in a centrifuge and coal particles 2 microns and greater are recovered. The slurry is normalized before each treatment with sonic energy and ozone to a pH of 6-9 to maintain the released contaminants as colloids suspended in the aqueous medium of the slurry.

156 Process for producing high brightness clays utilizing magnetic beneficiation and calcining US406074 1982-08-06 US4419228A 1983-12-06 Jerry A. Cook; Gary L. Cobb
A method is disclosed for separating titaniferous and ferruginous discolorants from a crude kaolin clay. A dispersed aqueous slurry of the clay is formed containing a deflocculant and a fatty acid collecting agent, and the slurry is conditioned to coat the discolorants with the collecting agent to thereby render the discolorants hydrophobic. A system of sub-micron sized magnetic ferrite seeding particles, the surfaces of which have been rendered hydrophobic, is thereupon added to the slurry. The seeded slurry is mixed to coalesce the hydrophobic-surfaced discolorants with the hydrophobic-surfaced seeding particles, and the slurry is then subjected to a froth flotation, which removes substantial quantities of the discolorants and seeding partices coalesced therewith, and also removes excess seeding particles and excess collecting agent. The floatation-beneficiated slurry is then subjected to a magnetic separation by passing the slurry through a porous ferromagnetic matrix positioned in a magnetic field, having an intensity of at least 0.5 kilogauss, to remove further quantities of the discolorants and seeding particles associated therewith, and to remove seeding particles unassociated with said discolorants. The product from said magnetic separation may then be calcined at a temperature of at least 1500.degree. F. to yield an exceptionally high brightness, low abrasion product.

Fine coal particles are recovered from a slurry of finely divided coal by mixing coarsely divided coal and a binder together to cause the binder to adhere to the surfaces of the coarsely divided coal pieces, mixing the slurry with the coal pieces having the binder adhered thereto to cause fine coal particles to adhere to the binder over the surfaces of the coal pieces serving as nuclei and thereby form agglomerates, and separating the agglomerates from the remaining slurry portion to recover the fine coal particles along with the coarsely divided coal and the binder.
