An artificial turf recycling system and method includes multi-phase processing of shredded turf laden with infill from an 8 inch minus product size down to about 1 mm minus particle size or less with a combination of special purpose equipment. Clean processed sand and crumb rubber may efficiently and expeditiously be reused in the installation of replacement artificial turf. Mobile apparatus and equipment may optionally be utilized proximate the site of the artificial turf needing replacement.

The present invention relates to the processing of carbonaceous materials for, inter alia, hydrogen production. In particular, the invention relates to the production of hydrogen, for example, as input for industrial manufacturing applications or as a fuel source for the associated generation of electric power. In one form, the invention provides a method of producing hydrogen comprising the step of reacting a combination of solid carbonaceous material and a catalyst comprising alpha phase iron-based material adapted to produce an exothermic reaction with the solid carbonaceous material.

A foreign matter removal device may include a chamber comprising a fluid, and a magnet assembly under the chamber. The chamber may include a loading section configured to load a first object, a second object, and a third object into the fluid, a first trap region configured to trap the first object, a second trap region configured to trap the second object and to be adjacent to the first trap region, and a third trap region configured to trap the third object and to be adjacent to the second trap region. The first object is a first foreign matter, the second object is a semiconductor light-emitting element, and the third object is a second foreign matter.
