A method for separating primary ore containing rare earths into dead rock and at least one type of rock which is enriched with at least one valuable mineral which contains at least one rare earth mineral , said method comprising:comminuting the primary ore into rock particles having a particle size in a range from >1 mm to 300 mm and composed at least mainly of dead rock and also valuable mineral particles composed at least mainly of rock which is enriched with a valuable mineral;separating out the rock particles;feeding the separated-out rock particles to at least one measuring unit;determining by the at least one measuring unit at least two different rock properties of each of the rock particles, with at least one of the two different rock properties being a secondary rock property of the rock particle;assigning the at least one secondary rock property to the rock particle;classifying each rock particle as a function of its rock properties as a dead rock particle or valuable mineral particle; andseparating the dead rock particles from the valuable mineral particles.14. The method of claim 13 , wherein another one of the two different rock properties claim 13 , determined by the at least one measuring unit claim 13 , is a primary rock property.15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the primary rock property is a type of at least one contained valuable mineral and/or a valuable mineral content.16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the secondary rock property is a member selected from the group consisting of atomic density claim 13 , magnetic susceptibility claim 13 , natural ...

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF FROM RECYCLABLE PLASTIC

The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing biodegradable plastic from high percentage recyclable plastic feedstock and the product thereof. The process comprises receiving recyclable plastic feedstock including high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, expanded polyethylene, and stretched wrap, separating the plastic feedstock by plastics of like type, grinding the separated plastics into particulate while maintaining the temperature below said separated plastic's decomposition and melting point. The plastics are mixed in proportion, adding a biodegradable additive to the particulated plastic mixture with further mixing to produce the biodegradable plastic. Optionally, the resulting plastic is extruded for later use. 1. A process for producing biodegradable plastic from recyclable plastic , said process comprising:receiving recyclable plastic feedstock including high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, expanded polyethylene, and stretched wrap;separating said plastic feedstock by plastics of like type;grinding said separated plastics into particulate, maintaining the temperature below said separated plastic's decomposition and melting point;mixing said particulated plastics in proportion;adding a biodegradable additive to the particulated plastic mixture with mixing.2. The process of claim 1 , wherein said particulated plastics comprise about 2% to 15% by volume high density polyethylene claim 1 , from about 25% to 35% by volume low density polyethylene claim 1 , from about 33% to 43% by volume expanded polyethylene claim 1 , from about 15% to 23% by volume stretched wrap claim 1 , and about 1% biodegradable additive.3. The process of claim 1 , wherein said particulated plastics comprise about 10% by volume high density polyethylene claim 1 , about 30% by volume low density polyethylene claim 1 , about 39% by volume expanded polyethylene claim 1 , about 20% by volume stretched wrap claim 1 , and about 1% biodegradable ...
