TLDR
In this paper, a method for separating fine particles from contaminant particles suspended in a gaseous medium is proposed, which includes introducing a particle suspension at a predetermined velocity into a vessel having a top and bottom portion, each portion having a discharge outlet.
Abstract
A method for separating fine particles from contaminant particles suspended in a gaseous medium. The method includes introducing a particle suspension at a predetermined velocity into a vessel having a top and bottom portion, each portion having a discharge outlet. The particle suspension is then directed into an impingement plate, which is arranged within the vessel at a predetermined angle. The impingement plate is angled to achieve uniform distribution of the particle suspension within the vessel after impact with the plate. The fine particles will rise to the top portion of the vessel, and the contaminant, as well as residual fine particles, will settle to the bottom of the vessel. The fine particles and contaminant and residual fine particles are removed from the top and bottom discharge outlets respectively.

System and method for integrated waste storage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an integrated bunker storage system for waste streams based on the composition and characteristics of waste streams, where individual waste streams from wastes stored in bunkers are mixed in a given feed ratio to generate a feed stock that will produce a desired output from a chemical conversion process, e.g., gasification.

Systems and methods for processing a heterogeneous waste stream

Dingrong Bai
TL;DR: In this article, a system can include a processing sub-system configured to receive a municipal solid waste stream and to remove the non-processable waste, a processing apparatus configured and disposed to receive constituents of the waste stream from the processing sub system and reduce the size of the constituents of a waste stream to an average particle size of less than about ¾ inch.

In-line classifier for powdered products

TL;DR: In this paper, a classifier for classifying particulates entrained in a flowing stream of gas is configured such that a change of direction of gas flow causes particles to impinge upon a target, heavier particles being trapped in a downwardly extending fluidized trap.

Process for producing toner for developing electrostatic images and apparatus therefor

TL;DR: In this paper, a toner for producing electrostatic latent images is produced by classifying a pulverized feed material into a coarse powder and a fine powder in a first classifying means, pulverizing and recycling the coarse powder to the first classification means, introducing the fine powder into a multi-division classifying chamber divided into at least three sections.

Method and apparatus for the continuous centrifugal classifying of a continuous flow of particulate material in a deflected flow

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous flow of material is separated in a continuous centrifugal classifying method into at least one fraction of coarse material and at least 1 fraction of fine material using a deflected flow with the stream of material introduced in a thin layer into a classifying flow which is deflected in a region.

Process of and apparatus for separating mixed materials

Fraser Thomas
TL;DR: In this paper, a new and useful improvement in process of and apparatus for separating mixed materials, and is intended more particularly for cleaning coal by separating it from the refuse with which it is commingled, but may be used for separating two or more materials of differing types.
