A system for the physical-mechanical recovery and refining of non-ferrous metals from electronic scrap, with means for the separation of the interest metals from the polymeric and resin support frames, which does not require the addition of solvents or temperature rise, for the disintegration and separation of materials, so that no toxic waste is produced for the environment.

A particle separator is provided for separating small particles from large particles from material. The particle separator includes a conical shaped separator housing that forms a cyclonic separator enclosure, a cover attached at a top portion of the cyclonic separator enclosure, and an opening at a bottom portion of the cyclonic separator enclosure. The cyclonic separator enclosure has an inlet tube with a tangential entry opening along an inner wall of the cyclonic separator enclosure, where the inlet tube projects horizontally outward from an upper portion of the cyclonic separator enclosure. An outlet tube extends upward from a center of the cover with a vacuum unit connected to the outlet tube that creates a vortex in the cyclonic separator enclosure.

A modular quality improvement process and quality improvement system for high density coal measures oil shale. The process comprises: performing separation on the material with a particle size larger than 13 mm by an air dense medium fluidized bed, performing separation on the material with a particle size equal to or less than 13 mm and larger than 6 mm by an air dense medium fluidized bed, performing separation on the material with a particle size equal to or less than 6 mm and larger than 3 mm by a vibrated dense medium fluidized bed, and performing separation on the material with a particle size equal to or less than 3 mm by a vibrated fluidized bed, and recovery of a medium by magnetic separation for use as a circulating medium.

A horizontal axis rotary separation apparatus is deployed in a process for separating resinous trichomes rich in flavoring, aromatic and/or medicinal components produced in plant trichome glands from unwanted plant matter. The process physically separates resin rich beads at the trichome gland head from extraneous plant matter by one or move separation sieves. The sieves are provided in or as a casing over a rigid frame member. The sieves are mesh fabric bags or screen that are easily opened and replenished in a batch operating mode, and are removable from the frame for cleaning and maintenance. Other aspects of the invention include processes that improve process efficiency and speed, and yield products of superior quality.
