A method for producing a powdered starting material, which is provided for production of rare earth magnets, including includes the following steps: pulverizing an alloy, including at least one rare earth metal, wherein a powdered intermediate product is formed from the alloy including the at least one rare earth metal, and carrying out at least one classification aimed at particle size and/or particle density for the powdered intermediate product. A fraction of the powdered intermediate product, which is formed by the at least one classification, is used for fabrication of rare earth magnets. Furthermore, at least one dynamic classifier is provided, implementing at least one classification directed at particle size and/or particle density for the powdered intermediate product and thereby separates the fraction from the powdered intermediate product, which forms the starting material for manufacturing rare earth magnets.

A system and method for separating granular particles according to particle size, and more particularly enhance ore grades by removing unwanted material. The system (10) comprises means (11) for transporting granular material (12) comprising multiple sized fractions with gradation of the particles according to particle size between relatively fine fractions and relatively coarse fractions, in a direction having a horizontal component; and subjecting the granular material (12) to vibration while being so transported to induce some separation of particles according to particle size. The system (10) further comprises means (13) for causing the granular material (12) to subsequently move as a granular flow (14) along a curved path (15) under the influence of gravity to further induce separation of particles according to particle size. The system (10) still further comprises means (16) for dividing the granular flow (14) moving along the curved path (15) into different streams (17) according to their trajectory.

A method to improve the solid/solid separation of an amorphous aluminium trihydroxide containing suspension from a gypsum containing suspension in a saturated calcium sulphate solution without the need for a dewatering step following the solid-solid separation.

An object-sorting apparatus includes a housing that extends from a top end to a bottom end, at least one vibration element, and a plurality of stages arranged in a vertical sequence in the housing between the top end and the bottom end. At least one of the stages includes a sorting base that at least partially defines a floor of the at least one stage. The sorting base is coupled to the at least one vibration element, and is configured to receive thereon a mixture of objects having different sizes, including a target size associated with the at least one stage. The stage also includes apertures defined in and extending through the sorting base and into flow communication with a next lower stage. The apertures are sized to receive therethrough, from the mixture, objects having a size smaller than the target size associated with the at least one stage.

A sorting device for sorting out coins from bulk material, includes at least one sorting gap (5) for coins that is limited by at least one roller (2) which can be rotated by a drive (33) about an axis of rotation (A) such that objects that cannot be conveyed through the sorting gap (5) are applied with force by the roller (2) in a direction away from the sorting gap (5) wherein a discharge hood (6) is provided for an eddy current separator device (29), which has an adjustable trajectory separator unit (4) in a hood interior (7), wherein the at least one roller (2) is arranged in or on the discharge hood (6) in relation to the trajectory separator unit (4) such that a non-ferrous metal fraction separated from the bulk material by the trajectory separator unit (4) is guided in the direction of the sorting gap (5) by the weight force of the non-ferrous metal objects (12).
