An apparatus for processing magnetite iron ore, including an upstream cyclone and a mill for grinding particles, wherein the upstream cyclone is arranged to operate as a splitter by diverting material in an overflow of the upstream cyclone to bypass the mill and by feeding material in an underflow of the upstream cyclone to the mill.

A method of manufacturing pulp using corn stalks may include cutting the corn stalks into pieces having a length of 10 to 60 mm, separating and discharging the cut corn stalks into rind and pith using a separation unit while crushing the cut corn stalks, pretreating the corn stalks by filtering the rind and pith of the corn stalks and flakes of the rind, removing a portion of hemicellulose of the rind, and cooking the rind from which the portion of hemicellulose has been removed, using caustic soda and sodium carbonate.

A microwave applicator box for breakdown of medical waste materials, is provided comprising: an interior defined by at least one wall; a plurality of inclined grates in an alternating arrangement, including: a first grate extending from a first direction, and a second grate extending from a second direction and underlapping the first grate; vibration devices connected to the grates by arms; wherein the area above the first grate is defined as a Zone A and wherein the area below the first grate and above the second grate is defined as a Zone B; wherein a first waveguide is connected to an opening in the wall in the area of the Zone A; wherein a second waveguide is connected to an opening in the wall in the area of the Zone B; and wherein the interior of the waveguides is in communication with the interior of the microwave applicator box.

Embodiments of the present invention pertain to a plant trimming machine. Plants are placed in a tumbler. As the tumbler rotates, leaves are sucked through the tumbler by a vacuum assembly and cut by at least one rotatable blade adjacent to the tumbler. The tumbler and blade are housed in separate cartridges so that they can be easily removed and inserted. Thereby, it is relatively easy to clean and replace a tumbler or blade with minimal downtime to the machine.

Filter material, mainly in form of industrial remnants from the production of the filter fillings, is processed without the intake of the heat in such a way that it is cut in the disintegrator (4) at the presence of the air, where the material is during retention time repeatedly led to the contact with the rotating blades and bunches emerge in the disintegrator (4) through aeration. The flat carrier (3) is thus at least partially disintegrated to the original fibers (1); the released fibers (1) intertwine into bunches and the active carbon (2) is released from the original bond with the flat carrier (3). The swirl (vortex) created inside the disintegrator (4) carries the dust particles of the active carbon (2) and they adhere to the surface of the fibers (1). Part of the released active carbon (2) is—after the separation—carried away from the emergin bunches, which in the lower part of the disintegrator (4) run through the sieve out of the disintegrator (4). The resulting product is advantageously applicable as heat and noise isolation in all fields of technology, for example construction. The separated active carbon (2) in form of granules is also a resulting product of processing.
