Un minéral, plus fort que ceux qui l'entourent, peut exercer en s'accroissant des efforts mécaniques comparables à ceux de la glace qui fait éclater une roche gélive. Il peut déplacer les minéraux voisins, englober certains d'entre eux [...] Ces inclusions deviennent alors «inertes», ne s'accroissent plus et demeurent plus petites que les minéraux de la trame.

Record 7 1998-08-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Establishments
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
DEF

a place at which material(as wool, ore, coal, or crushed stone) is freed from impurities or dust by washing.

DEF

A coal preparation plant in which a cleaning process is carried out by wet methods ....

OBS

... the term is sometimes applied to a cleaning plant using dry methods.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Établissements industriels
  • Minéralurgie (Métallurgie)
DEF

lavoir : Atelier de préparation du charbon dans lequel un procédé d'épuration est appliqué par voie humide [...]

OBS

[...] ce terme [lavoir] est parfois appliqué à un atelier d'épuration utilisant des méthodes par voie sèche.

DEF

laverie : Lieu, usine où on lave le minerai, la houille.

OBS

Le Grand Robert semble préférer le terme «laverie», en lui donnant le sens général ci-haut (lieu, usine ...); le terme «lavoir» y est d'ailleurs absent. Cependant le Petit Robert fait la distinction suivante : un «lavoir» désigne un appareil, une machine à laver le minerai, les laines, etc., et, par extension seulement, un «atelier» de lavage du minerai. Cependant, le terme «laverie» est absent du Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse. Les autres auteurs ne semblent pas ressentir le besoin de distinguer «laverie» et «lavoir» et ne retiennent que ce dernier terme. En conclusion, nous pensons que «lavoir» peut être utilisé lorsque l'on veut désigner un appareil ou un atelier, et qu'il faut réserver le terme «laverie», moins fréquent devons-nous préciser, à une usine.

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Preparation and Mixing
  • Air Pollution
CONT

Stone dust, fly ash, soot, and unburned droplets of fuel oil are the main types of particulate resulting from the operations of hot-mix asphalt paving plants. The predominant particulate emission is stone dust and its major source is the dryer. Other sources of particulate emissions include the screens, open bucket elevators, weigh hoppers, asphalt heaters, storage piles and bins, and traffic dust from the yard. Particulates from the dryer are normally termed "dryer dust", those from the screen cover, weigh and mix area, and hot material elevator are usually called "fugitive dust".

CONT

The Hot-Mix Paving Industry... Stone dust ranges in size from 0. 1 [microgram] to more than 300 [micrograms]. The amount of dryer dust depends upon the dryer design and operation, and the aggregate makeup. Studies in the Los Angeles area have shown that, all other factors being the same, the amount of dryer dust increases linearly with the amount of mineral dust in the aggregate.
