An apparatus for remediation of a copper and nickel co-contaminated soil includes a housing. A crushing device is arranged at the upper part of the inside of the housing. A stirring device is arranged below the crushing device. An anode electrode and a cathode electrode are provided at both ends of the inner bottom of the housing, respectively. In the present invention, the soil contaminated by copper and nickel is first poured from the top of the crushing device, and then crushed thoroughly under the action of the crushing device. The crushed soil facilitates the movement of copper and nickel metal ions therein toward the electrodes under the action of the anode electrode and the cathode electrode, thereby achieving optimal soil remediation.

A fragmentation system for electrodynamic fragmentation of material contains a feed and an outlet for transporting material along a transport path in a transport direction. At least one high-voltage pulse source is provided, each of the high-voltage pulse sources contains at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode for generating a high-voltage discharge in a discharge chamber. The transport path has a fractionation section, and the fractionation section extends through the discharge chamber. A selection device for selectively extracting the material on the transport path is provided in order to channel material and/or fragments of the material having a diameter smaller than a minimum diameter past at least one portion of one of the fractionation sections.

There is disclosed an apparatus 100 for reducing the size of a solid material into smaller particles including powder form comprising: an implosion chamber 3 for containing the solid material; and adapted for creating turbulence and ultrasonic soundwaves that bounce off the chamber walls at different angles to create sound frequencies of varying patterns; causing the expansion of moisture particles in the solid material leading to implosion of moisture particles within the solid material. The implosion thereby results to cavitation and reducing the size of solid material within the chamber 3 into smaller particles; a separating section A for separating the particles based on sizes; and channelling the coarser particles into the chamber to go through additional disintegration process; the implosion chamber 3 comprises a conical member 14, a static propeller 9 attached to at least one surface of the chamber 3 and a flail propeller 13 rotatably below the conical member 14 and static propeller 9; the flail propeller 13 and the conical member 14 being connected to an axis within the chamber 3. The rotation of the flail propeller 13 within the chamber 3 generating ultrasonic soundwaves that causes the moisture particles of the solid material to oscillate at high frequency and expansion that disintegrates the solid material. During this process, the moisture content is converted into vapour.
