The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing granules from an input material or a powder material. The process comprises feeding the input material for granulation in the processor using one or more powder feeders, introducing steam as a granulation activating agent in the processor, granulating the input material in presence of the steam to form granules, and optionally collecting the granules from a discharge zone of the processor, wherein feed rate of the steam into the processor is determined based on feed rate of the input material into the processor. A co-rotating twin-screw processor for preparing granules is also discl

A method for capturing material extracted from biochar, the method comprising the steps of: (i) providing a biochar; (ii) contacting the biochar with a treating liquid, where the treating liquid causes the removal of solids from the pores and surface of the biochar, thereby creating a resulting solution or extract comprised of the treating liquid and removed solids; and (iii) collecting the resulting solution or extract. The method further comprises the step of apply the resulting solution or extract to soil or for use in other applications.

A variable rate throttle for controlling a vehicle carburetor having control cables. The variable rate throttle includes a housing surrounding a cavity, a plurality of interchangeable throttle reels, each throttle reel having a different track radius, where a particular one of the throttle reels is positioned at a time in the cavity of the housing and which engages the control cables. A throttle handle engages the interchangeable throttle reel so that rotation of the handle causes rotation of the throttle reel and thus moves the control cables of the vehicle carburetor.

There is provided herein a process for the compaction of Polyhalite, comprising: mixing a feed of polyhalite with an inorganic binder in a mixer to yield a mixture; compacting said mixture in a compactor to yield masses; crushing said masses in a crusher to yield particles; and screening said particles in a screener to yield particles in three different sizes: oversized fine particles which undergo a second crushing process and are retuned to said screener for screening, undersized fine particles which are transferred to said mixer for further mixing and compacting, and desired size fine particles which are transferred to a polish screener for glazing and oiling.
