Title: Dual fuel boiler
Inventor: ASHTON LARRY J
IPC: F23K5/00
Filed: 2004-11-12
Abstract: A fuel-fired boiler having a supply fan for providing essentially all of its combustion air requirements and has a non-aspirating type burner section to an inlet portion of which pressure regulator apparatus is coupled, the pressure regulator apparatus having a predetermined pressure regulation setting. Fuel delivery apparatus is coupled to the inlet of the pressure regulator apparatus and is operative to deliver thereto, from sources thereof, a selectively variable one of (1) a first fuel at a pressure greater than the pressure regulation setting, and (2) a second fuel at a pressure less than the pressure regulation setting, the second fuel having a Wobbe index greater than that of the first fuel. The design of the fuel delivery apparatus permits the burner section firing rate to remain essentially constant, without modifying the burner section, regardless of which of the two fuels is being utilized.

Title: Method for recovery of nonferrous, rare and precious metals from robust minerals
Inventor: SHAPOVALOV VIATCHESLAV DMITRIE
IPC: C22B3/06
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: The method is referred to hydrometallurgy process and it serves for recovery of nonferrous, rare and precious metals from robust (hard to process) minerals, which may contain natural carbon or other robust compounds. This invention is aimed at increasing the recovery of nonferrous, rare and precious metals from robust minerals with simultaneous reduction of processing costs.  The objective is attained, as the method for recovery of nonferrous, rare and precious metals from robust minerals envisages the processing of robust carbon-containing minerals by oxygen-containing oxidant with subsequent extraction of precious metal compounds from liquid phase, moreover, the treatment of robust carbon-containing minerals by oxygen-containing oxidant is performed in the presence of reducing agents featuring donor-acceptor properties, which are manifested in the fact that at the first stage of chemical reactions the reducing agents give their electrons to oxygen-containing oxidant and, as a result, form a stronger oxidant than the initial one, in the from of short-lived radicals and intermediate oxidation products of donor-acceptor reducing agents, which are oxidants, as well.
