A process for the separation of electrolyte from the carbon in a solid carbon/electrolyte cathode product formed at the cathode during molten carbonate electrolysis. The processes allows for easy separation of the solid carbon product from the electrolyte without any observed detrimental effect on the structure and/or stability of the resulting solid carbon nanomaterial.

A filter press is disclosed for separating solid components from liquid components of a slurry. The filter press includes side beams and a plurality of filter plates oriented at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the side beams. The filter plates are adapted to move along the side beams. A stationary end is arranged on one end of the side beams and a movable head is adapted to transport the filter plates along the side beams. The filter press includes a press system adapted to exert a closing pressure on the filter plates to press the filter plates against each other. The press system further includes at least one electrically driven actuator adapted to generate an axially directed force on the filter plates by the movable head. The disclosure also relates to a method for separating the solid components from the liquid components of a slurry.

Various rosin press assemblies and methods are described. The rosin press assemblies can include a frame, press plates, a user interface, a press system, and a control unit. The frame can include a plurality of support elements, such as plates. Each plate within the frame can have tabs formed on the ends and edges of the plates and can have slots formed in the plates. The tabs from one plate can interlock with tabs or slots from other plates to form an interlocking frame. The interlocking frame can increase rigidity of the frame to prevent the frame from flexing during operation of the rosin press.

The present utility model discloses a juice pressing device, comprising an outer cup, an inner tank component and a juice pressing component. The inner tank comprises a filter grid frame and an inner tank. The inner tank is in a cylindrical shape. The filter grid frame is fixedly connected with the bottom end of the inner tank and is communicated with the inner tank. The height of the inner tank of the assembled filter grid frame is less than the depth of the outer cup. The inner tank with the assembled filter grid frame is inserted into the outer cup and fixed at the mouth of the outer cup. The juice pressing component comprises a pressing piece, a pressing shaft, a sealing cover of the inner tank and a pressing movable cover. One end of the pressing shaft is connected to the pressing movable cover, and the other end is connected to the pressing piece through a through hole in the center of the sealing cover of the inner tank. The pressing piece is provided in the inner tank, and the sealing cover of the inner tank is provided at the top of the inner tank. The inner tank and the sealing cover of the inner tank of the utility model form a sealed inner cavity structure, under the pressure of the piston type pressing piece, the juice above the filter grid is pressed out from the filter grid, with high juice output efficiency, stable juice output and no leakage.

A juice pressing machine and methods for pressing juice from a foodstuff includes embodiments having a removable pressing chamber and one or more filters which may be assembled and loaded with macerated foodstuff to form thin layers separated by a pressing plate. Once a juicing operation has been completed, the pressing chamber can be removed from the machine for emptying the pressed filters and solids contents therein. The empty pressing chamber may then be rinsed if needed and reattached to the machine for a subsequent pressing operation with newly filled filter(s). The platen may also be easily removed from the machine for cleaning as desired.
