A positive electrode active material and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method includes mixing and grinding raw material particles to obtain ground product particles, where the raw material particles are source materials for a lithium composite transition metal oxide, sintering the ground product particles to synthesize the lithium composite transition metal oxide, and disaggregating and classifying the synthesized lithium composite transition metal oxide to obtain a positive electrode active material powder, wherein the mixing and grinding the raw materials includes placing the raw materials and beads in a chamber of a grinding device, where the grinding device includes a rotatable rotor in the chamber, and performing a dry process of mixing and grinding the raw material particles in the chamber by rotating the rotor to give kinetic energy to the beads, causing collisions between the beads and the raw material particles.

A shipping assembly to transport various components of a hammer mill including a hammer, a spacer, and/or a lock collar. The shipping assembly may hold a hammer in a pair of jaws that aligns an opening in the hammer with a spacer held in a collar or a lock collar held in a pair of exterior prongs so that a rod can be inserted through the components. A handle may be received through a stop arm to further secure the hammer mill components and simplify install into the hammer mill.

The present invention is directed to a process to produce agglomerated lignin with a controlled particle size distribution. The agglomerated lignin is essentially free of dust so that the risk of dust explosion is greatly reduced.

There is provided a method for enhanced extraction of cannabis oil from a cannabis plant material, and a free-flowing powder consisting of particles of cannabis plant material for use in such method for enhanced extraction. The cannabis plant material is characterized by a cannabis strain and a cannabis plant part. The method comprising a step of comminuting said cannabis plant material to a powder of a preselected particle size distribution (PSD) characterized by 10≤Dv(90)≤100 μm as determined by laser diffraction particle size analysis prior to extraction process. The PSD is preselected in accordance with said cannabis strain and said plant part.

A system includes a grinder to obtain a ground meat; a mixer to add fat to the ground meat; a payload bay to receive the ground meat; a plurality of evaporators coupled to the payload bay; a pump to force coolant flowing through the evaporators; and means for adding fat to the chopped meat product and then chopping the fat and adding liquid nitrogen to maintain the temperature of the chopped meat product and fat being chopped between 1° C. and 10° C. to obtain a chopped meat and fat product.
