Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring solid materials between zones at substantially different pressures which includes, generally, an intermediate vessell or lock hopper which contains a liquid and can be filled with and emptied of solids, two valves, one at each end of the lock hopper, a solids feed device, and a pump to maintain liquid level in the system. In operation, the valve at the upper end of the lock hopper is opened while the valve at the lower end thereof is closed, thereby permitting solids to be transferred into the lock hopper which contains a liquid such as water. The solids displace some of the liquid, and the displaced liquid rises above the top valve and overflows into a collecting vessel. The top valve then is closed, and a pump adds or removes liquid until the pressure in the lock hopper is close to the reactor pressure. The lower or bottom valve is opened after the pressure differential is compensated for, allowing the solids to drop into a feeder which conveys the solids to the reactor. The liquid level in the feeder and the lock hopper is maintained by the pump to replace the volume of solids fed. This liquid level is maintained at a sufficient height to inhibit gas flow into the lock hopper, and is independent of operating pressures. After solids discharge, the bottom valve is closed and the top valve opened, and the cycle is repeated. For continuous solid feed, two or more valved lock lock hoppers can be used in tandem to feed solids to the feeder.

Abstract translation: 一种用于在基本上不同的压力的区域之间输送固体材料的方法和装置，其通常包括含有液体并且可以填充和排空固体的中间容器或闭锁料斗，两个阀，一个在封闭料斗的两端 ，固体进料装置和泵，以保持系统中的液位。 在操作中，封闭料斗上端的阀门打开，而其下端的阀门关闭，从而允许固体物料转移到含有诸如水的液体的锁料斗中。 固体置换液体中的一些液体，并且位移的液体升高到顶部阀上方并溢出到收集容器中。 然后关闭顶部阀门，并且泵添加或去除液体，直到锁定料斗中的压力接近反应堆压力。 在压差被补偿后，下阀或底阀打开，允许固体落入将固体输送到反应器的进料器中。 进料器和锁料斗中的液位由泵维持以代替进料的固体体积。 该液位保持在足够高的高度以阻止气体进入锁定料斗，并且与操作压力无关。 固体排放后，底阀关闭，顶阀打开，重复循环。 对于连续的固体进料，可以串联使用两个或更多个带锁的锁定料斗，以将固体送入进料器。

Abstract: A gas illuminating burner in which a gas mixture is delivered through a porous ceramic support and a heat radiating layer of a metal oxide to a layer which is a mixture of thorium and cerium oxides. The gas mixture burns in an improved manner at the upper surface of the layer of oxides.
