(under subclass 49) Apparatus and methods in which some of the components of a mixture of solids are caused to adhere to surfaces coated with mercury or its equivalent, and are thereby separated from other components which do not so adhere.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
14, through 16, and 41-43, for separation combinations provided in combination with either mercurial adhesion or mercurial suspension.
176, through 181, where chemical or electrical action is involved, since there is no essential difference in effect whether the separation is a gravity or an adhesion separation. Processes involving such chemical or electrical action are classified in said subclasses whether adhesion or gravity separation by means of a metallic gravity liquid.
