  • Patent number: 8262279
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wet-type recirculation system for particle size analysis of sample including coarse particles (hundreds to thousands ?m). According to the wet-type recirculation system of the present invention, the mixture liquid is recirculated using not a single recirculation line but two recirculation lines between the mixer and the particle size analyzer and the recirculation lines are connected with the mixer at the upper inputting part side of the mixer to discharge the mixture liquid. Further, the rotatable baffle is attached to the inside of the mixer to generate vortex in a horizontal direction as well as a vertical direction within the reservoir of the mixer and the baffle is rotated by a pressure of the mixture liquid discharged from the two recirculation lines to form vortex.

  • Patent number: 8191436
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for collecting marine deposits. The apparatus includes: a piston corer for collecting a deep part of marine deposits; a corer for collecting a surface part of marine deposits; and a trigger body connecting the corer for collecting a surface part of marine deposits and the piston corer for collecting a deep part of marine deposits to each other while being maintained at a laterally set interval. The apparatus for collecting marine deposits can greatly save costs consumed to collect marine deposits and increase accuracy of collecting the marine deposits.

  • Publication number: 20110176873
    Abstract: Provided is a method of remediating cyanide-contaminated soil. The method is provided to remediate soil contaminated with cyanide and treat the cyanide, which includes collecting the soil contaminated with first cyanide in a solid state and second cyanide in a gaseous or dissolved state, dissociating cyanide by mixing the soil with an alkali washing solution, dissolving the first cyanide in a solid state in the washing solution, and transferring the second cyanide in a dissolved state dissociated from the soil to the washing solution, dissociating the soil from the washing solution, precipitating the first cyanide in a solid state by acidifying the washing solution containing the cyanide, and performing post-treatment on the first cyanide after the first cyanide precipitated in a solid state is dissociated from the washing solution.
