  • Publication number: 20220288543
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an installation and to a method for recirculating and mixing a fluid which is preferably a shear-thinning fluid. The installation comprises a tank, a pump, a piping assembly connected to the pump and comprising an injection piping for injecting said fluid into the tank and a return piping coupled to the injection piping for pumping the said fluid from the tank to the injection piping, wherein the piping assembly and the tank form a flow recirculation path in which fluid is homogenized by recirculation of the fluid upon action of the said pump, the injection piping being designed such as to reinject the fluid in at least two peripheral bottom locations with an horizontal and/or inclined orientation such as to create a swirl movement in the tank and to reinject simultaneously said fluid upwardly through a central location in a zone comprised between the central axis of the tank and the half radius of the tank such as to create a jet of fluid having a main vertical component.

  • Patent number: 10947157
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing green or thermally treated briquettes which are made up of at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound that is an iron-based compound. The method includes the steps of supplying a homogeneous pulverulent mixture to a roller press, the press having pockets where the pulverulent mixture is compressed to form the green briquettes. The rollers of the roller press develop linear speeds at the periphery of the rollers between 10 and 100 cm/s and linear pressures between 60 and 160 kN/cm. The method can also include a thermal treatment of the green briquettes to produce fired briquettes containing calcium ferrite, the briquettes having a Shatter Test Index less than 8%, and a porosity value greater than or equal to 30%.

  • Patent number: 9909033
    Abstract: The invention relates to a suspension of cerium oxide particles, of which the particles (secondary particles) have an average size of at most 200 nm, these secondary particles consisting of primary particles whose average size measured by TEM is of at most 150 nm with a standard deviation of at most 30% of the value of said average size, and for which the ratio of the average size measured by TEM to the average size measured by BET is at least 1.5. This suspension is prepared from a solution of a cerium III salt, comprising a colloidal dispersion of cerium IV, which is brought into contact, in the presence of nitrate ions and under an inert atmosphere, with a base; the medium obtained is subjected to a thermal treatment under an inert atmosphere and then acidified and washed. The suspension can be used for polishing.
