A ventilation assembly includes an air intake channel; a delivery channel; a generating device of an air stream between the intake channel and the delivery channel; a filtering section of the air stream to decrease, if not eliminate, the presence of particulate in the air stream. The filtering section includes a filter having a containment body provided with an intake opening and a delivery opening for the air stream passing therethrough, and air-tight bulkheads, arranged inside the containment body and shaped to force the air stream to collide therewith and with the inner walls of the containment body, the bulkheads and the containment body having a section portion suitable for being penetrated by the particulate in the air stream so as to retain it therein.

The present invention relates to a process for concentrating desired particles comprising a carrier-magnetic-separation comprising the following steps a) providing a feedstock which contains the desired particles and an undesired material; b) adding hydrophobic magnetic particles to the feedstock which results in a loaded feedstock containing agglomerates of the magnetic particles and the desired particles or of the magnetic particles and the undesired material; c) separating the agglomerates from the loaded feedstock by a separation method which results in isolated agglomerates, where the separation method is selected from sorting, electric separation, magnetic separation, screening, classification, gravity concentration, and flotation; d) breaking up the isolated agglomerates to obtain a suspension comprising the magnetic particles in desagglomerated form; and e) separating the magnetic particles from the suspension obtained in step d) by a separation method selected from sorting, electric separation, magnetic separation, screening, classification, gravity concentration, and flotation.

A method for producing valuable organic liquid from a biomass wherein a gas is heated to a predetermined temperature to produce a heated gas. The heated gas is mixed with a biomass to produce an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The biomass waste product is separated from the enriched organic vapor. The enriched organic vapor is cooled to produce a liquid organic oil and the liquid organic oil is collected. A system for producing the liquid organic oil wherein the system includes a heat source for heating a gas to produce a heated gas and a first separation unit to separate an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The enriched organic vapor and the biomass waste product are generated from mixing the heated gas and a biomass. The system also includes a wet scrubber for cooling the enriched organic vapor to remove certain compounds from the enriched organic vapor to generate an enriched organic smoke. The organic smoke can be transformed to the liquid organic oil in an electrostatic precipitator.
