Carsten Gerold has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11318477
    Abstract: A magnetic separator for the dry separation of material particles having different magnetic susceptibilities includes a rotatable cylinder that has a stationary magnetic device arranged therein, and extending essentially across its length. A sorting chamber is furthermore provided for which extends along at least a portion of the outer surface of the cylinder in the circumferential direction of the cylinder and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The magnetic separator includes means for the dispersed output of material particles into the sorting chamber, as well as means for generating a stream of conveying air in the sorting chamber. A motor for rotating the cylinder around its longitudinal axis is included, wherein, during operation, the outer surface of the cylinder is moved by the rotation of the cylinder in a direction essentially perpendicular to the direction of the stream of conveying air.

  • Patent number: 9212404
    Abstract: The invention relates to a preparation method for stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags for recovery of metal. In order to create a dry preparation method which guarantees a low wear and energy efficient comminution and de-agglomeration of stainless steel slags and modified steelworks slags as well as a selective separation of a metal fraction and a silicate fraction and which can be variable in relation to the different slag compositions and different requirements upon the quality of the metal fraction and the at least one silicate fraction, a roller mill is used at least for the comminution. The slags are supplied with a feed grain size of up to approximately 150 mm. The use of an air swept roller mill is advantageous, in which the comminution and de-agglomeration, if necessary drying, and at the same time a separation into an extensively mineral-free metal fraction and a virtually metal-free silicate fraction are brought together.
