    Electrical Interconnecting the nozzle and the container?

    I have a question about how I would electrically interconnect the nozzle of a 55 gallon drum to a plastic bottle that is being filled with a high solids / acetone(30%) glue? OSHA states in 29 CFR 1910.106(e)(6)(ii): Class I flammable liquid(s) was dispensed into containers without electrically...

    Copper Slag Tailings - How to extract Iron

    I have tailings that came from a copper extraction process. It is in solid 2" or less in size. We are curious if there is a way to make pig iron with this? And also how to get rid of the SiO2(silica). I'm not sure if grinding this stuff up and using some kind of mag separation process would get...

    Copper Slag containing 30% Si02 & 45% Fe

    The material is small form 2" diameter & less. It could be crushed and separated I would think. The strange thing is this material is a by product of copper refinement. And that is why I called is copper slag. That is what I was told it was. And the residual 1.1% copper is what they couldn't...

    Copper Slag containing 30% Si02 & 45% Fe

    You are right about the silica. I mistyped when I was referring to 3% silica content in pig iron, I meant silicon content. My mistake on the ol keyboard. :-) Here is what I have from the lab. Can you provide any other help on this? I'm really just trying to see if I can even do anything with...

    Copper Slag containing 30% Si02 & 45% Fe

    Is there anyway to get rid of silica in a refinement process like using a blast furnace to make pig iron? I have read everything I can find on making pig iron but I haven't run across anything that contains 30% silica. Most of the pig iron specs I have found contain 3% silica. I'm curious if...
