Title:
REMOVAL OF MELTABLE SOLIDS FROM MIXTURES WITH OTHER SOLIDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001036325
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A separator for separating a meltable solid from a mixture with other solids has a tank for holding a fluid; a container at least partially inside the tank, made at least in part of a screen through which the fluid can pass and melted solids can flow, but through which the unmelted solid material will not flow; and a heater for heating the fluid above the melting point of the meltable solids. In a method of separating a meltable solid from a mixture with other solids the mixture of solids is placed in the container of the separator and the fluid is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the meltable solid, whereby the meltable solid flows through the screen out of the container, while the other solids remain within the container.
