US Patent:

6379919, Apr 30, 2002

Filed:

May 26, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/578867

Inventors:

Andrew J. Carter - Plano TX 75074

International Classification:

C12P 104

US Classification:

435 34, 435 29, 435262, 4352625, 4236585, 423 1, 75330

Abstract:

The present invention relates to microbiological processes for the oxidative treatment of refractory gold and base metal ores and concentrates, and specifically, to bacterial inoculums for use in such processes that are strongly resistant to thiocyanate toxicity. The present invention also relates to methods of developing and using these bacteria. The use of a bacterial inoculum with high thiocyanate resistance confers a number of technological advantages on biooxidation processes including improvements in operating flexibility, operation costs and environmental acceptability.

Appl. No.:

09/578868

Inventors:

Andrew J. Carter - Plano TX

Assignee:

Oxidor Corporation, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

C12M 104

US Classification:

4352871, 4352891, 4352941, 4352991

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to microbiological processes for the oxidative treatment of refractory gold and base metal ores and concentrates, and particularly, an apparatus for testing refractory gold and sulfidic base metal ores for their suitability to heap biooxidation or bioleaching processes. The invention can be used to simulate heap biooxidation. This apparatus incorporates features of heap biooxidation and may be used to generate engineering data for creating detailed process and engineering designs. The invention can be used to develop a select population of bacteria geared to optimize biooxidation of a specific refractory ore.

International Classification:

B64C 27/59
F01D 5/02
F01D 7/00
F01D 5/30

Abstract:

A blade pitch adjustment mechanism includes a pitch cylinder having a first face and pitch slots extending longitudinally from the first face, a blade sleeve having a second face and a blade slot extending longitudinally from the second face, the blade sleeve is configured to be rotationally positioned in the pitch cylinder with the second face located with the first face, wherein the blade slot and the pitch slots are cooperative to form keyway, corresponding to a discrete blade pitch, when the blade slot is aligned with a pitch slot.
