Abstract: 926,842. Separating solids. NORTONSTIVIDALE Ltd. March 8, 1961 [March 15, 1960], No. 9145/60. Class 117. In a float-and-sink method of separating solid materials into two or more fractions according to density in a dense medium, e.g. coal from shale in an aqueous suspension of magnetite, the mass is set into generally rotary motion and part of the float fraction is discharged over a weir in an overflow liquid depth less than that required for the discharge of large particles contained in it and the large particles are caused to travel onwards to be discharged over the weir in greater overflow liquid depth. The material is introduced at the top of an annular vessel as described in Specification 926,841 and descends through a sleeve 17 which acts as a shoot, some falling outside the sleeve. The sleeve surrounds the upper part of a rotatable structure carrying paddles and is supported therefrom by a cap 18 on the end of its shaft. The bottom of the sleeve 17 extends below the level x-x of the surface of the suspension and the material is discharged radially from the bottom of the sleeve, the float fraction into a launder 21 and the sink fraction through an outlet 23. Three forms of weir are shown which carry out the method of the invention. In Fig. 3 the weir is higher over the greater part of its length 24 than over the remainder 25. In Fig. 4, higher and lower parts 26, 27 are separated by a part of the wall 2 of the vessel over which no material normally flows. In Fig. 5 the weir 28 changes height gradually.
