Title: Soufflante d'asphalte a colonnes sectionnelles
Inventor: TIBAH DENIS MUKI
IPC: C10C3/04
Filed: 2017-09-26
Abstract: Il a été découvert quune soufflante dasphalte qui est segmentée par une pluralité de plaques perforées à différentes hauteurs dans la soufflante est beaucoup plus efficace que les soufflantes classiques. Les plaques perforées qui comportent une multitude de trous agissent pour réduire la taille des bulles dair et améliorer la dispersion des bulles dair dans le flux dasphalte. La taille réduite des bulles dair augmente en conséquence la surface totale par unité de volume des bulles dair et écourte ainsi le temps de traitement. Les plaques perforées augmentent également la durée du contact entre les bulles dair et le flux dasphalte, ce qui améliore lefficacité et réduit les temps de soufflage. Cela est hautement avantageux, car des temps de traitement plus courts peuvent être atteints, ce qui permet dutiliser léquipement plus efficacement, daméliorer les niveaux de productivité, de réduire la consommation dénergie et les coûts, de limiter les pertes de soufflage, ainsi que de réduire lhistoire thermique de lasphalte.

Abstract: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto an angled reflector, or mirror, that reflects light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements "intermittently dipping" into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

Abstract: Apparatus uses engineered collection media to recover mineral particles in a slurry. The apparatus has a tumbler cell and a rotation device to rotate the tumbler cell. The tumbler cell has a container to hold a mixture of the engineered media and the slurry containing the mineral particles. The container is turned such that at least part of the mixture in the upper part of the container is caused to interact with at least part of the mixture in the lower part of the container. As such, the contact between the engineered media and the mineral particles is enhanced. The surfaces of the engineered media are functionalized with a chemical having molecules to attract the mineral particles to the surfaces so as to form mineral laden media. After the mineral laden media are discharged from the tumbler cell, the mineral particles can be separated from the engineered media by stripping.
