Patent number: 9200345Abstract: A process and a plant for treating ore concentrate particles containing valuable metal and having at least arsenic and sulfur containing components. The process comprises a two-stage roasting process comprising a first roasting step and a second roasting step. A gas mixture is formed from the first process gas component obtained from the first roasting step and from the second process gas component obtained from the second roasting step. Post combustion of the gas mixture is made in a post combustion chamber that uses the sulphide rich first process gas component and the second process gas component as oxidizer gas in order to decompose SO3 in the gas mixture. The exit gas is exposed to subsequent gas cooling and dust removal steps.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Outotec OyjInventors: Åke Holmström, Karin Lundholm, Gunnar Berg, Jochen Güntner

Publication number: 20130291684Abstract: The present invention concerns a process and a plant for treating ore concentrate particles containing valuable metal and having at least arsenic and sulfur containing components. The process comprises a two-stage roasting process comprising a first roasting step (1) made in a first roasting reactor (16) and a second roasting step (3) made in a second roasting reactor (17). A gas mixture is formed from the first process gas component (2) obtained from the first roasting step(1)and from the second process gas component (4) obtained from the second roasting step (3). Post combustion of the gas mixture is made in a post combustion chamber (6). The post combustion operates with said reducing and sulphide rich first process gas component (2) and the second process gas component (4) as oxidizer gas in order to decompose SO3 in the gas mixture to reduce the SO3 content. The risk of accretion formation and corrosion in the post combustion chamber and in subsequent steps is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2010Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: OUTOTEC OYJInventors: Åke Holmström, Karin Lundholm, Gunnar Berg, Jochen Güntner

Patent number: 7892721Abstract: The invention relates to a storage medium for storing information/data, wherein the storage medium comprises a dielectric storage material, more particularly a disk-shaped storage material on which a metal ion donor medium is arranged or can be applied on at least one side thereof. Metal ions can be transferred from the donor medium into the storage medium by exposing the storage medium to radiation, more particularly to laser radiation. The invention also relates to a storage medium for storing information/data, wherein the storage medium comprises a dielectric storage material, more particularly a disk-shaped storage material having at least one local metal ion doping, wherein the metal ions can be converted into metal particles and/or metal particles agglomerations by means of radiation, more particularly laser radiation.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2003Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Inventors: Alexander Cioc, Gerhard Fehr, Reinhard Borek, Thomas Rainer, Jochen Schneider, Klaus-Jürgen Berg, Gunnar Berg

Patent number: 6039539Abstract: A radial fan wheel comprising a number of fan blades symmetrically arranged with substantially equal spacing around the rotational shaft of the fan wheel. The blades are mounted between two end plates that are arranged perpendicularly to the shaft and are provided with blade surfaces which are substantially parallel to the shaft and each of which blade extends from one point at a distance from the shaft and substantially arched in the direction outwardly towards the periphery of the wheel. One first end plate is provided with a central air inlet and is shaped with a curve that, in a position radially outwardly from the innermost edges of the blades, substantially arches towards the second end plate and further radially outwardly towards the peripheral edges of the blades. Each blade is so designed in the peripheral segment that the blade extends radially longer outwardly adjacent the first end plate than the second end plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1998Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Inventor: Gunnar Berg
