Title: Enhanced anti-solvent sedimentation of solids from liquids using pressurized carbon dioxide gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6860393

A method for increasing the sedimentation of mineral particles in feed liquids containing the same, particularly coal-derived liquids, by the use of an anti-solvent gas pressure technique. The mixture is held under a pressurized carbon dioxide atmosphere which causes an increase in the initial settling rate for sedimentation of the mineral particles from such liquids so that they may be used as fuels.
