  • Publication number: 20180353972
    Abstract: An apparatus for foam separation comprises a foam separation cell (12; 112; 212) provided with a treatment chamber (13), inside of which a flow of liquid containing material to be separated can be introduced. The apparatus further comprises one or more devices (21, 27) for introducing and/or generating air bubbles, useful to carry out the foam separation between the hydrophobic material and the hydrophilic material.

  • Patent number: 9073059
    Abstract: The invention relates to the dynamic separation of particles such as those resulting from crushing and grinding extracted minerals or recycled materials (glass, plastic, etc.). The separation is carried out by multi-stage dynamic separators (2, 3), a regulation being carried out therebetween by feeding a fluid. This latter can be a dense medium similar to that feeding the stages, and can have a rotational component with respect to the axis of the separator.

  • Patent number: 7028848
    Abstract: The invention relates to an axial feeding method of the material to be separated in a dense-medium dynamic separator (1). This method is based on the principle of imparting to the material and to the fluid in which it is dispersed, in order to facilitate introduction thereof into the separator (1), a rotational velocity component with respect to the axis of the latter, in this way the particles of material have a movement corresponding to that of the dense medium circulating in the separator, so as to prevent uncontrolled dispersion of the particles inside it. The invention also comprises a feeding apparatus (2) for carrying out the abovementioned method.
