Abstract: The invention relates to the field of chemical and metal industry and may be used for integrated processing of finely dispersed metal-containing waste, in particular for processing red mud, as well as ash-slag waste of coal thermal power plants. Technical result of the claimed invention consists in improved efficiency of finely dispersed metal-containing waste processing by virtue of extracting target products via elimination of gel component and double electric layer in red mud, and elimination of double electric layer in ash-slag waste. Said technical result is achieved by a method of integrated processing of finely dispersed metal-containing waste that includes the step of mixing metal-containing waste with magnetic field activated water into the state of a pulp, and a step of subjecting the pulp in a reaction chamber to a rotating magnetic field generated by rotating ferromagnetic elements, wherein the step of subjecting the pulp to the rotating magnetic field is carried out in a vortex layer with rotation speed of ferromagnetic elements being at least 2800 rpm until a magnetostriction effect and subsequent reduction of metal oxides occurs, after which the step of hydrocyclone separation of the latter is carried out.

Abstract: In order to reduce vibration of movable airfoil structures (38), such as rudders (22), elevators (24), and ailerons (20), a spring device (48), a leaf spring (50) for example, is mounted to an airfoil mounting structure (28), such as a vertical tail plane (16), horizontal tail plane (18) or the wings (14), such that the spring device (48) exerts a force on a cam device (80), which transforms the spring force (F) into an airfoil torque (M). The airfoil torque (M) is applied to the airfoil structure (38) and thus reduces a risk of vibration or flutter. The cam device (80) is configured to redirect the spring force (F) such that when the airfoil structure (38) is moved in a first direction (108), torque decreases and when moved in the opposite second direction (110) the torque is zero.
