| 20120037319 | Apparatus for Stripping Metal from a Cathode Plate - An apparatus for stripping metal from a cathode plate, the apparatus comprising stripping means adapted for positioning between the metal and the cathode plate in order to separate the metal from the cathode plate, and wherein movement of the stripping means is achieved through movement of a robotic arm. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110174696 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING FLOTATION CELL PERFORMANCE - A method of operating a flotation cell wherein a feed stream containing particles is provided to the flotation cell wherein a proportion of the particles rise in the cell and exit the cell in a concentrate stream and a proportion of the particles sink in the cell, wherein at least a portion of the particles that sink in the cell are subject to a classification process to produce classified particles and at least a portion of the classified particles are recycled to the flotation cell. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110108203 | Apparatus for Stripping Metal From a Cathode Plate - An apparatus for stripping metal from a cathode plate in which part of the metal has been separated from the cathode plate to form a gap between the part of the metal and the cathode plate, the apparatus comprising at least one roller for positioning in the gap between the metal and the cathode plate and drive means for driving the roller along the cathode plate or the metal to cause stripping of the metal from the cathode plate. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20100263752 | Pumpbox - A pumpbox, the pumpbox being in fluid communication with one or more vessels, wherein the pumpbox comprises a classification portion and level control means adapted to control the level of fluid within the one or more vessels. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100032330 | SELF DUNNAGED CATHODE BUNDLE - A method for producing self-dunnaged cathode bundles, comprising the steps of forming at least one deformed cathode by bending opposed ends of at least one cathode to form a pair of supports disposed at an angle to a central portion of the at least one deformed cathode, and stacking one or more further cathodes above or below the at least one deformed cathode. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20080250900 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LEAD SMELTING - A method for producing lead involves feeding lead concentrate, flux and solid fuel passing to a feed preparation unit. The prepared, mixed feed is then passed to a lead smelting furnace, such as an ISASMELT furnace or other top entry, submerged lance furnace. Air or oxygen, is injected into the molten charge in the ISASMELT furnace via the submerged lance. The feed mixture is converted into lead bullion and a lead-containing slag. The slag removed from the furnace is formed into lumps having a desirable size range. The slag lumps, together with coke and flux are fed into a blast furnace. In the blast furnace, the slag is converted into lead bullion and discard slag. The lead bullion removed may be subsequently fed to a lead refinery for further treatment. | 10-16-2008 |
