A distribution member may include a distributing plate, a plurality of protecting plates and a second protecting plate. The distributing plate may be connected with a vertical shaft of the vertical shaft impact crusher. The distributing plate may have a first distributing surface having a conical shape, and a second distributing surface. The first protecting plates may be attached to the first distributing surface of the distributing plate. The second protecting plate may be attached to the second distributing surface of the distributing plate. Thus, the distribution member may be semi-permanently used by properly exchanging any one of the first protecting plates and/or the second protecting plate.

Apparatus and method in converting municipal solid waste into geo-polymer briquettes and geo-polymer bricks comprising bag opener cum crushers, magnetic separators for ferrous and-eddy current separators for non-ferrous things; squeezer for removing liquid content; inter particle collision driers for drying; pulverizer for pulverizing, and devolatizing carbonization reactor for carbonisation of combustible MSW to produce solid char with low water content. Solid char is mixed with geo-polymer binding agent/starch/tar/to form combustible pellet/briquette. These highly combustible briquette/pellets have high calorific value. The pellet/briquette is formed by rotating combustible char at high rpm and compaction. Pellet has a water content of less than 5% by weight and fuel value of 5500 to 6500 KCAL. This process produces non-combustible geo-polymer brick. The non-combustible MSW separated by a trommel is crushed by inter particle collision crusher and pan mixers mixing with geo-polymer binding agent/fly ash/quarry dust/chips or china clay and moulded.

The present document related to the processing of mining materials, such as ores, rocks, minerals, and aggregate materials to separate valuable components. There is provided a process and system for extracting a valuable component from a mining feedstock comprising geological materials. The process can comprise subjecting the mining feedstock to a kinetic pulverization stage wherein the mining feedstock is subjected to self-collisions created by vortices within the kinetic pulverizer to produce a pulverized material; admixing the mining feedstock or the pulverized material with a chemical additive configured to selectively liberate the valuable component from the geological material; and subjecting the pulverized material to an extraction stage to produce a valuable component-rich stream and a valuable component-depleted stream. There is also provided processes for producing a homogenous mixture of a geological material derived from a mining feedstock and an additive, as well as processes for mechanochemically processing a raw material.

A system for processing a heterogenous material, the system comprising: a vessel in communication with a primary screen; a first collision chamber in communication with the vessel; a first recovery vessel; a second collision chamber in communication with the first collision chamber; a second recovery vessel; and a secondary screen. A method for processing a heterogenous material, the method comprising: disposing the heterogenous material in a vessel; clarifying the heterogenous material in a clarifier; ablating the heterogenous material in a first collision chamber to form ablated heterogenous material; disposing the ablated heterogenous material in a first recovery vessel; further ablating the ablated heterogenous material from the first recovery vessel to a second collision chamber; and flowing the further ablated heterogenous material in a second recovery vessel.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for producing nanoparticles of a material, including: a core for accelerating the material, wherein the core can include a first disc and a second disc facing the first disc, and one or more drives for rotating the first disc, the second disc, or a combination thereof, wherein the first disc and the second disc each can include a plurality of concentric rings, wherein each of the plurality of the concentric rings can include a blade base and a plurality of hypersonic blades arranged on the blade base; and a plurality of concentric channels alternately interleaved with the plurality of concentric rings. A method for producing nanoparticles of a material using the apparatus is also described.

Heterogeneous mineral-based particulate is comminuted by exposing the particulate to a cavitation fluid. In another embodiment, two or more streams of fluids with particulate entrained therein may be directed at one another to create, in an impact zone, collisions between the particulate of the two or more streams of fluid. Exposing the particulate to the cavitation fluid may occur inside or outside the impact zone, either before, at the same time, or after the collisions.

There is disclosed a mill comprising a motorized rotating drum having an internal cavity of the rotary drum; a lifter and grinding media located in the internal cavity for promoting breakdown of mineral; a bolt configured to hold the lifter to the inner surface of the rotary drum, one end of the bolt elongated to the full height of the lifter located in the internal cavity of the rotary drum, the other end of the elongated bolt located outside of the rotary drum; an acoustic sensor acoustically coupled to the elongated bolt for capturing acoustic waves carried by the bolt from the inside to the outside of the internal cavity; and a condition monitoring system mounted on the rotating drum communicating data to a base station. AI assisted condition monitoring of the acoustic signals, provides control parameters for safe operation of the mill, optimizing lifter wear and through put.

The present disclosure relates to a physically pretreated biomass composition capable of membrane filtration treatment in a biomass solid-liquid separation process, and a method for preparing sugar therefrom. The physically pretreated biomass composition is very useful for the biomass treatment process because MF clogging phenomena do not occur through specific physical pretreatment (attrition milling) of herbaceous biomass and because MF passage speed is improved such that MF can be used in the biomass solid-liquid separation process.
