162 Method and apparatus for feeding coolant liquid in a lathe EP03008863.7 1997-02-12 EP1338380A1 2003-08-27 Nakai, Yoshikazu

A method and apparatus for feeding coolant liquid to a lathe with a nozzle (53) having a discharge port (58) of substantially rectangular cross section and a constricted curved surface portion (62) on its inner wall to produce a turbulent flow and a loosely mounted tongue piece (59) crossing the section of the discharge port and projecting outside the port. The coolant is thus discharged as a collection of particulate turbulent flows containing air bubbles drawn into the coolant liquid as it passes by the tongue piece. The coolant is caused to impinge on the rotating peripheral surface (56) which is continuous with the region of the workpiece in contact with the cutter (57).

163 APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR RECOVERING A DESIRED FRACTION OF A RAW MATERIAL EP01914074.8 2001-03-09 EP1261433A2 2002-12-04 CRADDOCK, Mark Norman Paul; KILNER, Michael Roy; DALE, Warren Wentworth
An apparatus (10) for recovering a desired fraction of a raw material bearing the desired fraction includes a vessel or cell (12) defining a treatment chamber (14) therein and an inlet (22) into the chamber (14) for introducing a slurry of raw material to be treated into the chamber (14). An attrition zone (16) is defined in a portion of the chamber (14) near the inlet (22) in the flow path of material introduced into the chamber (14) so that particles of the raw material are caused to impact against each other. A flotation zone (18) is defined in a distal portion of the chamber (14), in flow communication with the attrition zone (16), in which the attritioned particles are contacted with gas bubbles (26). This forms a froth phase (28) separated from the slurry by a slurry-froth interface such that the desired fraction is either selectively taken up into the froth phase (28) by the gas bubbles or selectively left behind in the slurry. The froth phase (28) flows from the (14) chamber via an appropriate outlet (36).

166 FLOTATION TANK IMPELLER EP96927781.3 1996-08-14 EP0844911B1 1999-12-08 PEAKER, Richard, Asheton; SCHLITTLER, William, John; TRUDEL, Joseph, Rene; SVENSSON, Ulf, Krister
An impeller for use with apparatus to enhance mixing of a gas and a liquid, as used for example in froth flotation apparatus, having a substantially upright portion (11) substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (17), and a plurality of vanes (12) extending outwardly therefrom, at least some of the vanes (12) having an upper part (19) adapted to induce liquid flow generally downwardly towards the impeller and a lower part (20) adapted to induce liquid flow generally upwardly towards the impeller, wherein the impeller further comprises barrier means (14) at least partially dividing the upper and lower parts, and a gas input situated on the same side of the barrier means (14) as the lower part (20). The barrier means (14) may comprise a flange like member in a plane generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation (17) and may intersect, or be integral with at least part of the vanes.
167 FLOTATION CELL CROWDER DEVICE EP96938681.0 1996-11-01 EP0800422A1 1997-10-15 DEGNER, Vernon, R.
A froth crowder device (10) is disclosed for incorporation into a froth flotation cell (12) to improve the froth removal dynamics of the flotation cell. The froth crowder device (10) is positioned within a froth flotation cell (12) above and below the overflow launder, and provides a sloped surface to direct froth toward the overflow launder (28) in an expedited manner. Experimental data confirms that use of a froth crowder device (10) as disclosed expedites movement of the froth toward the launder (28) for more efficient operation, permits operating the rotor (46) of the flotation cell (12) at reduced speeds without compromising the efficiency of operation, and reduces the amount of air necessary to produce a froth in the cell. Experimental data also confirms that little or no surface eddies are observed in froth flotation cells (12) in which a crowder device (10) as disclosed is used. By comparison, flotation cells without use of a crowder device experience increased occurrences of surface eddies which traps the froth within the tank and extends froth residency time to the ultimate detriment of separation efficiency.

A powered bowl assembly includes walls (21) and a tubular shaft (4) journalled within a base (1) of the apparatus. A pressurized air flow is discharged into slurry in the bowl assembly via a circular array of bubble generators (10). An impeller (13) discharges the slurry outwardly against an upwardly inclined annular surface (18) of the bowl assembly to cause the slurry to merge upwardly with the streams to promote flotation. Slurry within the bowl assembly forms a vortex (V) with particle flotation forming a froth layer (F) inwardly of the slurry vortex (V). The froth exits the bowl assembly upwardly past a barrier (30) partially closing the bowl assembly. Heavier gangue particles exit via an outlet (29) about the bowl assembly periphery. A collector shroud (32) is partitioned to receive the froth and the heavier waste material. A modified form of the apparatus includes an independently powered bowl assembly and impeller.

172 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING GAS-LIQUID CONTACT EP91900143.8 1990-12-04 EP0504203B1 1993-11-10 SMITH, James, W.; ELLENOR, David, Todd, Richard; HARBINSON, John, N.
Components, usually but not exclusively gaseous components, are removed in a liquid medium from gas streams and chemically converted into an insoluble phase or physically removed. Specifically, hydrogen sulfide may be removed from gas streams by oxidation in aqueous chelated transition metal solution in a modified agitated flotation cell. A gas-liquid contact apparatus, generally a combined chemical reactor and solid product separation device, comprising such modified agitated flotation cell also is described. In order to effect efficient mass transfer and rapid reaction, gas bubbles containing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen are formed by rotating an impeller at a blade tip velocity of at least about 350 in/sec. to achieve the required shear. To assist in the reaction, a surrounding shroud has a plurality of openings, generally of aspect ratio of approximately 1, of equal diameter and arranged in uniform pattern, such as to provide a gas flow therethrough less than about 0.02 lb/min/opening in the shroud. In general, the gas velocity index is at least about 18 per second per opening, preferably at least about 24 per second per opening. Each of the openings has an area corresponding to an equivalent diameter less than about one inch.

Des composants, généralement mais pas exclusivement gazeux, sont ôtés de flux de gaz dans un milieu liquide et convertis chimiquement en une phase insoluble ou physiquement supprimés. Spécifiquement, on peut supprimer du sulfure d'hydrogène de courants gazeux par oxydation dans une solution aqueuse de chélate de métal transitoire se trouvant dans une cellule de flottation agitée modifiée. On décrit également un appareil de contact liquide-gaz, associant généralement un réacteur chimique et un dispositif de séparation de produits solides, et comprenant une cellule de flottation agitée modifiée de ce type. Afin d'effectuer un transfert de matière efficace et une réaction rapide, des bulles de gaz contenant du sulfure d'hydrogène et de l'oxygène sont formées par rotation d'un agitateur à une vitesse à l'extrémité des palettes d'environ 350 pouces/sec afin d'obtenir le cisaillement requis. Pour aider cette réaction, une enveloppe circulaire comporte une pluralité d'ouvertures, ayant généralement un allongement de 1 environ, de diamètre égal et disposées suivant une configuration uniforme de manière à fournir à travers lesdites ouvertures un flux de gaz inférieur à environ 0,02 livre/min/ouverture dans l'enveloppe. En général, l'indice de vitesse du gaz est au moins environ 18 par seconde et par ouverture, mais il est préférable qu'il soit au moins d'environ 24 par seconde et par ouverture. Chacune des ouvertures a une sperficie correspondant à un diamètre inférieur à un pouce environ.

177 PROCESS FOR TREATING CONTAMINATED SOIL EP89902988.0 1989-02-06 EP0410971A1 1991-02-06 BATESON, George, F.; CHILCOTE, Dennis, D.; MARTINSON, Michael, M.; VALINE, Steven, B.; ZAMBRANO, Adolfo, R.
La présente invention décrit un procédé servant à épurer un terraen contaminé par des matières organiques. Le procédé préféré comporte généralement des opérations d'abrasion (35) et de classifications (40) superposées, qui produisent l'extraction et la concentration des fractions fortement contaminées. Le procédé peut également comporter une étape de flottation (60) par laquelle les substances hydrophobes contenues dans le sol sont libérées à une interface avec des boules d'air et sont amenées par flottation au sommet d'une cellule de flottation. Dans les procédés préférés décrits par la présente invention, la terre à traiter est extraite du site contaminé et est broyée en particules relativement fines. Ces particules sont de préférence traitées par des opérations d'abrasion et de classification, destinées à extraire les substances contaminées en fines particules à sédimentation lente, telles que le bois et les fines particules terreuses. Les particules plus grossières isolées qui en résultent sont ensuite traitées par flottation en vue d'une opération de polissage finale. Ledit procédé est particulièrement bien adapté pour être utilisé dans le traitement de terrains contaminés par des huiles organiques et des matières grasses contenant du pentachlorophénol (PCP), qui proviennent par exemple d'installations de traitement du bois ou similaire.

PCT No. PCT/AU88/00184 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 8, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 8, 1989 PCT Filed Jun. 10, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/09696 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 15, 1988.A separation system for separating oil and water components of a liquid mixture wherein the oil component is comprised of droplets of a less dense phase in a more dense water phase. The mixture is fed to separation devices including a hydrocyclone for generally reducing the oil in water concentration to less than 500 ppm. The underflow of the hydrocyclone is passed to a downstream flotation device for further separation as by settling, which may be further assisted by liberating gas in the mixture, in the flotation device, to adhere such gas to oil droplets and thereby carry such droplets to the surface of the device. Pressure of fluids leaving the hydrocyclone may be reduced before entering the flotation device. A residence vessel upstream of the hydrocyclone may be provided to precoalese the mixture prior to entering the hydrocyclone.
