A device for separating components of a mixture, particularly industrial fluids but also gases including air, allows for targeted components of the mixture to be attached onto a separating bar and removed from the mixture. The separating bars traverse a track formed within the body of the separating device and through respective tank, cleaning, free roll, and compression regions in a controlled cleaning system. The separating bars are detached from one another and allowed to move through the separating device independently of one another. The device removes the use of chains to connect cleaning bars traversing through a cleaning system.

A system for producing a stream of glass sand from mixed recyclables comprises first and second pulverizing system, each comprising a size-reducing pulverizer and a size-separating trommel. The pulverizers and trommels are heated, so as to also serve as driers.

Overmolded thermoplastic articles include a base component comprising rigid thermoplastic material and an overmold component comprising recovered thermoplastic elastomer material. The recovered thermoplastic elastomer material includes, based on weight of the recovered thermoplastic elastomer material, greater than or equal to about 97 wt % of antecedent thermoplastic elastomer material and less than or equal to about 3 wt % of antecedent rigid thermoplastic material. The recovered thermoplastic elastomer material is obtained from an antecedent separation process in which the antecedent thermoplastic elastomer material is separated from at least a portion of the antecedent rigid thermoplastic material.

A refractory recycling system includes a network of refractory aggregates including a first contaminant and an individual refractory component desired to be separated from the first contaminant, a computing device configured to determine a first critical velocity for separating the first contaminant from the individual refractory component, the first critical velocity being determined based on a mechanical property of the first contaminant, and a refining apparatus for refining the network of refractory aggregates. The refining apparatus is configured to receive the network of refractory aggregates, generate the first critical velocity based at least in part on a projecting mechanism, impart the first critical velocity to the network of refractory aggregates, thereby causing the first contaminant to separate from the individual refractory component, and provide a first refined set of particles of the network of refractory aggregates, the first refined set of particles comprising the individual refractory component.

The present invention relates to a system and process for dry magnetic concentration from fine iron ore concentrate. More precisely, the present invention deals with a reprocessing/cleaner route for pellet feed enrichment by providing a system for improving/increasing the efficiency of the cleaner step of concentrating pellet feed from previous mineral concentration steps and comprising a drying unit, a cooling unit and a magnetic separation unit, wherein the supplied pellet feed has a content of about 58% to about 64% Fe and reaches high purity contents of more than 67.5%.
