A method for producing conductive carbon coated particles of an at least partially lithiated electroactive core material comprises the step of premixing an oxidant electroactive material with a metallated reductant followed by chemically reacting the oxidant electroactive material with the metallated reductant, said reductant being a coating precursor, said metal being at least one alkaline and/or at least one alkaline earth metal, and said chemically reacting being performed under conditions allowing reduction and metallation of the electroactive material via insertion/intercalation of the alkaline metal cation(s) and/or the alkaline earth metal cation(s) and coating formation via a polymerisation reaction like polyanionic or radicalic polymerisation of the reductant.

A feed system for feeding grinding bodies to a vertical mill includes a pumping unit for sucking a propulsion liquid from a source and for supplying the liquid under pressure into a discharge tube. The system includes an intake connection having an inlet for grinding bodies, an inlet for propulsion liquid, connected to the discharge tube, and an outlet for grinding bodies and propulsion liquid. A principal tube is connected to the outlet of the intake connection for receiving the propulsion liquid and grinding bodies from the tubular intake connection. A static screen is arranged in the feed of the vertical mill for separating grinding bodies from propulsion liquid, the static screen having an inlet for propulsion liquid and grinding bodies, connected to the principal tube, an outlet for grinding bodies to be fed to the vertical mill, and an outlet for propulsion liquid separated from the grinding bodies.

A mechanochemical process for preparation of valuable products free from persistent organic contaminants and other organic halogen compounds, from waste of non-mixed and mixed, plastics and plastic laminates which is contaminated with persistent organic contaminants and/or contain the organic halogen compounds. Shredded waste is filled into a mill containing milling balls and is further shredded by milling. At least one dehalogenating agent is added. The mixture is milled further, and milling is stopped after a set time period. Before or after this step a further additive is added. The resulting products are separated from the milling balls, and the resulting halogen containing water-soluble products are jettisoned by washing with aqueous solvents and/or the resulting halogen containing, water-insoluble products are not washed out, but remain in the valuable products as fillers. Valuable products prepared in accordance with the process, and methods for their use are also provided

An open-ended grinding mill (1) includes a drum (2) including a cylindrical shell (3), wherein the longitudinal axis (4) of the drum is arranged in a substantially horizontal position in a use position of the grinding mill (1). The drum (2) includes a first end (5) at the feed end of the shell and a second end (6) at the discharge end of the shell. The grinding mill further includes a bearing (8) supporting the drum at the second end, and a support structure (9) to connect the drum (2) to the bearing (8). The support structure is configured to provide a wall external to the shell, whereby the shell and the support structure provide a double-wall structure separating the bearing from the inside of the drum.

Invention relates to material breaking or milling devices for ultra-fine milling of materials. A material breaking device comprises a frame structure (1) with an upper bracket (1A) and a lower bracket (1B); a tubular housing (4) arranged between said brackets (1A, 1B). The tubular housing (4) is attached to said frame structure (1) in rotatable manner such that the tubular housing (4) rotates relative to the frame structure (1). The material breaking device further comprises at least one conical distributor (5) arranged in the tubular housing (4) and at least one outlet cone (7) arranged in the tubular housing (4) downstream from the conical distributor (5). The device further comprises a permanent magnet unit (9) attached to the tubular housing (4) such that at least two permanent magnet units (9) are provided for each milling chamber (6, 8) for creating rotating magnetic field within the milling chambers (6, 8).

An ink mixture is manufactured by mixing carbon, graphite, and solvents in a mixing system which may include a Cowles disperser. The conductive portions (e.g. carbon, graphite) are evenly and universally dispersed, because an even dispersal means the conductivity of the resulting conductive strip (electrode) will be even, consistent, and reliable. The various embodiments of the ink mixture comprise a blend of different conductive pigments, including but not limited to carbon black and graphite. These embodiments must be grinded until below 6.5 Microns in particle size.
