US Patent:

7604126, Oct 20, 2009
Filed:

Sep 2, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/217446
Inventors:

Alexander Patist - Maple Grove MN, US
Darren Miles Bates - Tewantin, AU
Karen Ann Mikkola - Lakeland FL, US
John Llewellyn Yasalonis - Lakeland FL, US
Trent William Weatherwax - Lakewood IL, US
Donald Robert Clark - Tampa FL, US
Assignee:

Cargill, Incorporated - Wayzata MN
International Classification:

B03B 1/00
B03D 1/00
B03D 1/14
US Classification:

209164, 209 3, 241 1
Abstract:

In a process for beneficiating phosphate rock a slurry is provided having 30% to 70% by weight of a liquid phase and having a solid phase comprising clay, sand, and phosphate rock. In the process, the slurry is exposed to ultrasonic energy released from a sonotrode located within the slurry. The slurry may be exposed to the ultrasonic energy for less than 10 seconds. The ultrasonic energy may be produced by a piezoceramic transducer to have a resonance frequency within the range of from 16 kHz to 100 kHz. The ultrasonic energy may have an intensity within the range of from 0. 0001 W/cmto about 1000 W/cm. The ultrasonic energy may create cavitational forces within the slurry. After exposure to ultrasonic energy, clay and sand are separated from the phosphate rock, perhaps using an air flotation process and a cycloning process.

US Patent:

20060204624, Sep 14, 2006
Filed:

Mar 14, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/078702
Inventors:

Alexander Patist - Maple Grove MN, US
Tamirat Mindaye - Lakeland FL, US
Todd Matthiesen - Winter Haven FL, US
Assignee:

Cargill, Inc. - Wayzata MN
International Classification:

A21D 13/00
US Classification:

426283000
Abstract:

A process of enhancing peel oil extraction from citrus fruit comprises providing a mixture containing citrus solids and water, subjecting the citrus solids and water mixture to high power ultrasonic energy under conditions sufficient to separate peel oil from the citrus solids, and recovering the peel oil. An apparatus for extracting peel oil from citrus fruit comprises an extractor, a conduit for flowing a citrus mixture containing citrus solids and water, and an ultrasonic generator for subjecting the citrus mixture to high power ultrasonic energy to separate peel oil from the citrus solids. In another embodiment, sonic energy is used to de-emulsify peel oil in a citrus mixture.
