The invention relates to a method for mining and processing of an ore. The method comprises at least one mobile comminution device (26) comprising at least one mobile crusher unit and at least one mobile grinding unit located proximate to an ore body that is being mined (20), fragmented ore (22) from the ore body is comminuted in the mobile comminution device (26) to a size which can be readily pumped (28) without the use of special carrier fluids, preferably to a particle size p50 in the range between 0.05 to 1 mm and the comminuted ore is combined with water to form a slurry.

An apparatus for removing the husk from grain, in particular as a laboratory or small-scale grain kernel peeler, and for producing dehusked grain seeds, has a peeler including a first disk and a second disk movable relative to the first disk and drivable about a vertical axis. The disks enclose, between main faces made of a temperature-stable and elastic material, a working space fillable with grain from the side opposite the second disk through a central first disk filling opening. By rotating the second disk, the kernel and husk can be separated by a radial movement along the disks so that kernel and husk leave the peeler on its outer circumference via an outlet which opens via a chute into a collecting bin, the chute having a lateral air inlet supplied with an air stream so that the husks leave the chute laterally in front of the collecting bin.

Disclosed herein is a mask disposal apparatus having a serrated type crushing structure including: a main body including an inlet in which a wasted mask is put and a receiving space 110T disposed therein; and a crushing unit installed under an inlet in the main body to crush and discharge the wasted mask inserted into the inlet. The crushing unit includes: a rotary roller part provided in a cylindrical shape and having a first rotary shaft connected at the inner center thereof in a longitudinal direction; and a plurality of crushing parts having at least one serrated wheel portion having saw-teeth formed along the circumference thereof.

A system for cryogenic separation of plant material includes a hopper for receiving the plant material. A shredder mill grinds the plant material received in the hopper. A first agitation vessel receives the plant material from the shredder mill and performs a first separation process with cryogenic fluid on the plant material. A second agitation vessel receives the plant material from the first agitation vessel and performs a second separation process on the plant material. A containment vessel receives the plant material from the second agitation vessel.

A discharge arrangement (120) for a comminution reactor assembly (100). The discharge arrangement (120) comprises a main chamber (202) extending along a main axis (124). The main chamber has an inlet (121) arranged to be fluidly connected to a comminution reactor (110) and an outlet (122) arranged opposite from the inlet (121) along the main axis (124) and closeable by a common material take-out valve (204). The main chamber (202) is arranged to support a fluid-material stream (123) along a helical path about the main axis (124) from the inlet (121) towards the outlet (122). The discharge arrangement (120) further comprises an airduct (206) arranged extending into the main chamber (202) at an acute angle (a) with respect to the main axis (124). The airduct (206) comprises an aperture arranged facing the outlet (122). Thereby, a portion (125) of the fluid-material stream (123) changes direction from the helical fluid-material stream (123) about the main axis (124) from the inlet (121) towards the outlet (122) to a helical flow inside the airduct (206).
