Abstract: In a method for separating rich ore particles from agglomerates which contain said rich ore particles and magnetizable particles attached thereto, especially Fe3O4, in the course of a process for obtaining rich ore from crude ore, in which agglomerates the rich ore particle and the magnetizable particle are bonded by organic molecular chains, the agglomerates are contained in a suspension containing a carrier fluid and are broken up by an input of mechanical energy so that an agent contained in the suspension and decomposing the exposed, hydrophobic molecular chains can act upon the molecular chains. The Fe-containing oxide components are separated from the suspension in a magnetic separation process.

Abstract: A device for separating ferromagnetic particles from a suspension has a tubular reactor having at least one magnet, a suspension being able to flow through the reactor. The reactor (2) has at least one extraction line (3) branching off from the reactor (2), to which extraction line a negative pressure can be applied and which extraction line is surrounded by a permanent magnet (4) in the region of the branching.

Abstract: A ship propulsion system for watercraft contains at least one propeller, by which a drive force can be created for the watercraft. The ship propulsion further contains an electric motor, the rotor of which is directly mechanically coupled to the at least one propeller via a shaft such that the at least one propeller may be brought into a respective rotating movement by a rotation of the rotor. In order to cool the rotor of the electric motor a thermosiphon is disposed in the shaft, and the propeller serves as a heat sink for a working medium of the thermosiphon.

Abstract: A circulating pump with an impeller disposed in a pump housing, by which a fluid can be delivered from a pump inlet of the pump housing to a pump outlet of the pump housing. The circulating pump includes an electric motor, the rotor of which is mechanically coupled to the impeller via a shaft such that that the impeller can be placed into an appropriate rotating movement by rotation of the rotor, and cools the rotor of the electric motor by a thermosiphon in the shaft, wherein the impeller serves as a heat sink for a working medium of the thermosiphon.

Abstract: A water jet type pump is part of a system for generating an ultrahigh vacuum. The pump includes a pump chamber through which an ionic fluid flows at high velocity. The chamber has a first fluid feed for the fluid, the first feed ending in a nozzle with a nozzle opening, and a fluid discharge. A second feed of the pump chamber is connected to a high pressure chamber to be evacuated. Gas is suctioned out of the high vacuum chamber through the second feed by way of the flowing fluid jet, which is used to discharge the gas out of the pump chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to improving the efficiency or the energy balance of a power plant. Here, the heat content waste heat from the power plant is employed in such a way that the waste heat is fed into a first and/or a second thermoacoustic machine. In the first thermoacoustic machine a work output is generated with the aid of the waste heat and as a result of the thermoacoustic effect, which is employed elsewhere in the power plant, for example to operate a compressor. The second thermoacoustic machine is likewise used for cooling a working fluid by utilizing the waste heat and the thermoacoustic effect.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for condensing CO2 or CO2 separation. According to the invention the thermoacoustic effect is used, with the aid of waste heat from a power station, to produce power for a compressor for compressing a working medium, in particular for compressing a CO2-containing flue gas, and/or for cooling the working medium.
