Abstract
A comminution system for heterogeneous materials includes pumps, a source of liquid in fluid communication with the pumps, a source of heterogeneous material, a mixer to combine the heterogeneous material and the liquid, and nozzles in fluid communication with the pumps, respectively. The pumps are in straight-line alignment with the nozzles. The nozzles receiving the heterogeneous material combined with the liquid direct the combined slurry to an impact zone where the fractions of the heterogeneous material are disassociated.
Claims6
A machine for disassociating fractions of heterogeneous materials, comprising
- pumps including intake and discharge ports;
- a source of liquid in fluid communication with the pumps,
- a source of heterogeneous material;
- a mixer receiving the heterogeneous material from the source of heterogeneous material and in fluid communication with the source of liquid to combine the heterogeneous material and the liquid;
