Assignee:

Edward Lowe Industries, Inc. - Cassopolis MI

International Classification:

B07B 400

US Classification:

209134

Abstract:

An apparatus for separating fine particulates from a particle flow having a generally vertically disposed column with a particle flow channel. A particle flow inlet and outlet are located at opposite ends of the column in which an airstream is produced. Alternatively arranged downwardly slopping baffles are exposed on opposite sides of the channel for receiving and distributing the particle flow to the airstream. Each successive baffle is longitudinally spaced from the previous baffle. A mechanism is provided adjacent the bottom of each baffle for fanning out the particle flow and for removing the fine particulates from the fanned out particle flow into the airstream.

Abstract:

A cap having two chambers provides a means for and method of decomposing or neutralizing a hazardous chemical residue in a container after it has been emptied at the point of consumption. One of the chambers is a screw cap which normally closes and seals the container prior to the consumption of the hazardous chemical. The other chamber contains a measured amount of a second chemical which decomposes or neutralizes the residue of the hazardous chemical. The other chamber may be sealed off by a rupturable membrane, a screw cap, a friction held stopper, or a tear-off top, any of which may be ruptured or removed at the time when the residue is to be decomposed or neutralized. In the preferred embodiment, a screw cap is removed from the second chamber and the cap is inverted and screwed onto the container rupturing the membrane in the process, thereby releasing the second chemical into the container.
