The present invention includes a mining system adapted to change underwater mining by selecting and harvesting only the target ore or gem. It eliminates costly displacement in mass of ore or material to the surface or shore, reduces pollution of the water column, and minimizes disturbance of the environment. The system includes a trommel fluidly coupled to separators, wherein each separator uses a vortex-like flow pattern to separate high-density sediment from lower density sediment based on flow rate. The present invention is the capable of separating and collecting various sized of desired ore in one pass. Additionally, the system is adapted to be coupled with a ROV dredge to reduce or eliminate diving time and risk of human life.

Aluminum chlorohydrate products include particles of aluminum chlorohydrate, in fractured crystal form, the particles having a basicity in the range of about 50% to about 85.6%, a bulk density of 40 to 65 pounds per cubic foot, and a mean particle size in the range of about 10 microns to about 15 microns. The particles may also have a surface area to weight ratio of about 295 to about 705 m.sup.2/kg, inclusive of both endpoints and all numerical values therebetween, where the ratio is measured by laser diffraction. Methods of producing such products are also disclosed.

Disclosed is cylindrical ore washer for hydrometallurgical smelting of laterite nickel ore, comprising a mounting bracket, a screening component, a regulator, and an ore-washing component. The screening component comprises a frame, a cylinder body, a screening cylinder, and a driving component. The cylinder body is rotatably mounted on the frame along an axis oriented in a first direction. The screening cylinder is housed within the cylinder body, with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet located at opposite ends along the first direction, respectively. The cylindrical wall of the screening cylinder is provided with multiple screen holes, and an inner side wall of the screening cylinder protrudes to form a baffle plate. This disclosure is capable of impeding the movement of ore towards the discharge outlet, thereby prolonging the residence time of the ore within the screening cylinder and enhancing both the ore-washing efficiency and cleaning effectiveness.
