  • ROTARY BATCH REACTOR VESSEL
    Publication number: 20230304739
    Abstract: An assembly adapted for incorporation within, and use with, a rotary tubular vessel is disclosed. The assembly includes two oppositely directed finned disks, each defining a central aperture, of a particular size. The assembly includes a collection of longitudinally extending plates that extend between the disks. Upon installation in a tubular vessel, the assembly governs and controls the flow of granular or particulate material through the vessel.

  • Synthesis of lizardite from olivine
    Patent number: 7785555
    Abstract: Methods of converting olivine to lizardite without formation of chrysotile or brucite are disclosed. The methods comprise heating a mixture of olivine, silica, water, and a caustic agent. The addition of silica allows for complete conversion of the olivine to lizardite through a more thermodynamically favorable reaction. The olivine and silica are preferably of small particle size to increase reactivity.
