    Abstract: A system for refining waste and other mixed material streams including a receptacle for receiving an input stream and a drill separating material from the input stream and outputting a processed stream. An incinerator incinerating the processed stream and outputting an incinerated stream. A mill grinding the incinerated stream and outputting a milled stream. A screen having screen holes filtering the milled stream and outputting a screened stream having particle sizes smaller than the screen holes. A mesh having holes smaller than the screen holes filtering the screened stream and outputting a meshed stream. A magnetic device removing magnetic particles from the meshed stream outputting a non-magnetic stream. A density separator receiving the non-magnetic stream and outputting a first output, a second output having a greater density than the first output, and a third output having a greater density than the second output.

    Abstract: According to the present invention fragmented material 2, e.g. made from a material having Polyamides, is passing through a liquid bath 6 filled with liquid nitrogen 7 to cool the fragmented material 2 before entering a mill 10 for grinding the fragmented material 2. The fragmented material 2 is moved through the liquid bath 6 by exciting mechanical vibrations in the liquid bath 6 e.g. by a vibrational motor 28 coupled to the liquid bath 6 and/or an ultrasonic resonator 26 attached to the liquid bath 6. The invention allows to grind even materials being difficult to grind by reaching a temperature of −150° C. and less before entering the mill 10 while avoiding a direct cooling e.g, by introducing liquid nitrogen directly into the mill 10.

    Abstract: The invention provides an integrated separator system for the preconcentration of a material comprising one or more grizzly bars and one or more electrodes which provide a high voltage pulse (HVP) discharge to the material. The invention also provides a process for preconcentration of a material preferably a mineral within a rock which comprises: providing the material into an integrated separator system comprising one or more grizzly bars and one or more electrodes which are capable of providing at least one high voltage pulse discharge(s) to the material; applying one or more high voltage pulse discharge(s) to the material as the material is travelling along the grizzly bar(s) to preferentially disintegrate the particles containing mineral grains of high conductivity/permittivity; separating the disintegrated particles by way of the grizzly bar(s) resulting in the separation of the feed material into low grade (oversize) and high grade (undersize) products; and wherein the disintegrated particles from step b) pass through a screening element for further treatment. The present invention also relates to a process for comminution of a material.
