A granular coating conveyor system for coating granular particles carried in compartments along a tubular conveyor member. Coating fluid is fed over the granular particles through radial nozzles located inside a co-axial rotating blender with tubular member upstream discharge port and tubular member downstream return ingress port for the granular particles. The blender is a drum having a helicoidal spiral screw integrally mounted to an interior peripheral wall face of the drum and extending therealong radially outwardly of the tubular member mixing in the drum in tumbling fashion the granular particles with coating fluid and guiding same therealong, so as to dynamically form a kidney shape mass of granular particles.

Provided is an ultrafine bubble generation device. A device 10 includes a rotary blower 31a, a rotary mixer 11, and a bubble shear filter 21. The rotary mixer 11 includes a hollow part 13 including a vertex X inside, an inflow hole 12 for introducing a fluid and a discharge hole 16. In an inner wall surface of the hollow part 13, a groove 14 having a spiral shape for the fluid introduced from the inflow hole 12 is provided, and the discharge hole 16 is provided away from the vertex X of the spiral shape on an axis of the spiral shape. The bubble shear filter 21 is provided with a hollow part inside, and includes an inflow hole 24 for introducing the fluid into the hollow part, and a discharge hole 26 for discharging the fluid.

Apparatus uses engineered collection media to recover mineral particles in a slurry. The apparatus has a tumbler cell and a rotation device to rotate the tumbler cell. The tumbler cell has a container to hold a mixture of the engineered media and the slurry containing the mineral particles. The container is turned such that at least part of the mixture in the upper part of the container is caused to interact with at least part of the mixture in the lower part of the container. As such, the contact between the engineered media and the mineral particles is enhanced. The surfaces of the engineered media are functionalized with a chemical having molecules to attract the mineral particles to the surfaces so as to form mineral laden media. After the mineral laden media are discharged from the tumbler cell, the mineral particles can be separated from the engineered media by stripping.

A mixing device includes a base, a side tube and a primary extruder screw. The base includes an upper case body and a lower case body cooperating with each other to define an accommodating space. The upper case body has a first inlet and a second inlet communicating with the accommodating space and adapted respectively for passage of two materials into the accommodating space therethrough. The lower case body has a third inlet communicating with the accommodating space. The side tube cooperates with the third inlet to be adapted for passage of elastic fillers into the accommodating space therethrough. The primary extruder screw is operable for mixing the elastic fillers with a reaction product made by the two materials to form a molding material.
