102 Method and apparatus for treating animal waste and wastewater US11194829 2005-08-01 US07585413B2 2009-09-08 Robert O. Hoffland
Novel methods and apparatuses are disclosed for the treatment of wastewater to reduce, often associated, offensive odors. Irrigation of oxygenated liquid on top of a permeable cover effectively creates an aerobic treatment zone at the top of the lagoon whereby odorous gases being produced anaerobically below the cover are metabolized within this zone before being released to the atmosphere. This same system also serves to increase evaporation from the overall waste handling system therefore substantially reducing or eliminating the need for land application of treated wastewater.

106 Method and apparatus for preparation and deaeration of coating liquid US10378898 2003-03-05 US06884281B2 2005-04-26 Yasuo Takahashi
First, the overall quantity of bubbles in a coating liquid is reduced in advance by vacuum deaeration performed in conjunction with preparation of the coating liquid in a stirring tank in a first step, then bubbles of relatively large sizes, of bubbles that have not been removed in the first step are removed by a tank type deaeration device with ultrasonic waves in a floatation tank in a second step, and finally bubbles of very small to small sizes that are difficult to remove in the first and second steps are dissolved in the liquid under pressure with ultrasonic waves and thereby removed in a pipeline in a third step. According to this, bubbles in the coating liquid can reliably be removed irrespective of the nature of the coating liquid, a large amount of coating liquid can be treated, and the possibility that the quality of the deaerated coating liquid is adversely affected is eliminated.

Separation of target material from a liquid sample is achieved by coupling the target to targetable encapsulated gas microbubbles, allowing the microbubbles and coupled target to float to the surface of the sample to form a floating microbubble/target layer, and separating this layer from the sample. In a positive separation process the microbubbles are then removed from the target, e.g. by bursting. In a negative separation process target-free sample material is recovered following separation of the floating layer. The method may also be used diagnostically to detect the presence of a disease marker in a sample. Novel separation apparatus is also described.

120 Pressure-reducing spray nozzle and use thereof in a froth flotation method US913069 1986-09-29 USH458H 1988-04-05 Robert F. Turner, Jr.; Bruce C. Stouch
An improved spray apparatus for the froth flotation of a liquid-solid slurry, e.g., water-containing coal particulate, is disclosed. The initially high velocity of a spray of the slurry prior to its contacting the surface of liquid in a froth flotation cell is significantly reduced through a double deflection arrangement associated with the spray nozzle. This reduction in the velocity of the spray results in a more efficient froth flotation process.
