Patent number: 11103882Abstract: A separation system is presented that partitions a slurry containing a plurality of particles that are influenced by a fluidization flow (which comprises teeter water and gas bubbles) and a fluidized bed. The separation system comprises a separation tank, a slurry feed distributor, a fluidization flow manifold and a gas introduction system. All of these components are arranged to create the fluidized bed in the separation tank by introducing the slurry through the slurry feed distributor and allowing the slurry to interact with the fluidization flow that enters the separation tank from the fluidization flow manifold. The gas introduction system is configured to optimize the gas bubble size distribution in the fluidization flow. The gas introduction system comprises a gas introduction conduit and a bypass conduit. The gas introduction system can be adjusted by modulating the flow of teeter water through the gas introduction conduit.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Eriez Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Michael J. Mankosa, Jaisen N. Kohmuench, Eric S. Yan

Patent number: 10994284Abstract: A system for concentrating particulate mixtures of hydrophobic and hydrophilic material in a fluid medium is presented. The system comprises a separation chamber comprising three or more processing compartments in series. Each processing compartment comprises a manifold for the introduction of teeter water that comprises a mixture of water and air bubbles, suspended solids that form a fluidized bed that is created by the upward movement of the teeter water through the suspended solids; and each processing compartment is independently operable. An overflow launder is located above the separation chamber and a dewatering compartment is located beneath the separation chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Eriez Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Michael J. Mankosa, Jaisen N. Kohmuench, Eric S. Yan

Patent number: 10052637Abstract: What is presented is a material processing system for processing tailings discharged from an ore processing system. The tailings comprise coarse waste rock, the fine waste rock, coarse valuable product, and the fine valuable product. The material processing system comprises a classification element, a coarse flotation element, and a fines flotation element arranged to separate the coarse valuable product, the coarse waste rock, the fine valuable product, and the fine waste rock. The classification element separates the coarse waste rock and/or the coarse valuable product from the fine waste rock and/or the fine valuable product. The coarse flotation element separates the coarse waste rock from the coarse valuable product, the fine waste rock, and/or the fine valuable product. The fines flotation element separates the fine valuable product from the coarse waste rock, the fine waste rock, and/or the coarse valuable product.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Eriez Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Michael J. Mankosa, Jaisen N. Kohmuench, Eric S. Yan, Reginaldo Sérgio Liberato
