Such ferromagnetic contaminants are permanently removed from the strip steel hot-dip galvanizing system by dynamically concentrating such contaminant which are flushed to a magnetically-assisted particle separation container, formed from paramagnetic sheet material, which retains such contaminants, while cleansing solution at a desired purity level, is returned to the surface cleansing system; with sedimentation tank means providing for diminishing waste disposal concerns by separating sludge and recycling liquid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable system for controlling and absorbing petroleum spills, such as occurs upon accidental damage to a diesel fuel tank of a truck. The system has a collapsible containment pool which can be stowed when not in use and then easily deployed to receive petroleum products as they are spilled, a quantity of microbial material for biodegrading petroleum products, a quantity of petroleum-bonding polymer-based material, safety glasses and safety gloves to be worn by the attendant using the system. The system further consists of a bag in which the containment pool can be stowed and a bag in which the microbial material, polymer-based material, safety gloves, and safety glasses can be stowed. Upon discovery of a petroleum spill or potential spill, the containment pool can be quickly deployed into position to receive any spilled petroleum products which can be biodegraded by dispersion of the microbial material onto the petroleum products.

Abstract: A buffer/cleaner for objects such as jewelry or coins includes a bowl for holding the objects. The bowl also holds a treatment material consisting preferably of a carrier material. The carrier material may be granular, a powder, fibers, etc., and may be pre- or post-treated with a chemical buffing or cleaning agent or abrasive. The bowl is mounted resiliently on a vibrating arm, preferably by using a resilient glue or a resilient insert in a channel separating an upper end of the vibrating arm from a protruding coupling portion on the bowl, into which coupling portion the arm extends. The arm is caused to vibrate by a driver motor, preferably of a pulsed electromagnetic type. When the arm vibrates, the bowl is "whipped," that is, the bowl is both translated and rotated about a resilient pivot point out of phase with the vibrating arm, but at substantially the same frequency. This whipping motion induces a counter-flow of the treatment material in separate regions of the bowl.
