Processes for upgrading of a coal product and preparing of a purified coal product are provided. The process comprises the steps of: (i) providing a purified coal composition, wherein the composition is in the form of solid particles, and wherein at least about 90% by volume (% vol) of the solid particles are no greater than about 500 μm in diameter; and (ii) combining the purified coal composition with a solid coal feedstock, in order to create a combined solid-solid blend upgraded coal product.

A gas-liquid-solid separator can include a separator body having a vertical outer wall and a gas collector having a vertical gas collector wall surrounded by the outer wall, with a gas inlet opening at a bottom of the gas collector. An annular volume between the gas collector wall and the outer wall can contain a plurality of inclined flow channels. The flow channels can have a channel inlet opening at the bottom and can slope upward following a helical path between the gas collector wall and the outer wall. A gas-liquid-solid mixture inlet opening can be in a floor of the separator body. The mixture opening can be positioned below the gas inlet opening and the mixture inlet opening can have a top-down profile that fits within a top-down profile of the gas inlet opening.

Provided is a filtration system and process that enhances mineral removal from sludge through a novel recirculation and mixing apparatus. In one example, the system may include a filter configured to remove minerals from sludge, a pump configured to move the sludge towards the filter, a pre-filtering system configured to add an agent into the sludge prior to the sludge making contact with the filter, a drainage collection system including one ore more reservoirs configured to collect water drained during and/or after the filtering and feedback the drained water to the pump, and valving configured configured to mix the drained water with the sludge to generate a mixture which is moved by the pump towards the filter.

A system includes a first separator configured to receive waste water, retain a first portion of the waste water, and separate the first portion of the waste water into a first vapor and a first solid material; and a second separator in fluid communication with the first separator, the second separator being configured to receive a second portion of the waste water from the first separator and to separate the second portion of the waste water into a second vapor and a second solid material, the second separator including a first condenser, a heating element, and a first electrocoagulation unit. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Process for the production of anionic water-soluble polymer obtained by the polymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide obtained by biocatalysed reaction, said process comprising the steps of preparing a diluted solution of acrylic acid by mixing acrylic acid and water wherein the mass ratio between acrylic acid and water is comprised between 95:5 and 70:30, preparing a diluted solution of bioacrylamide and water wherein the mass ratio between bioacrylamide and water is comprised between 60:40 and 10:90, mixing said diluted solution of acrylic acid with said diluted solution of bioacrylamide, neutralizing partially or totally the acid function of acrylic acid and polymerizing the resulting mixture.
