.~.~.~> With recirculation of material to comminuting zone
DEFINITION
Classification: 241/60
(under subclass 38) Apparatus in which the fluid is applied subsequently to the comminuting operation.
(1) Note. Many of the so-called amalgamating mills in which material leaving the comminuting zone is treated by a mercurial bath to separate the values are included in this subclass. Where the material is subjected to the separating action of a plate which has been coated with an amalgamating
material, it was not considered, for purposes of this classification, to have been treated by a fluid, and these combinations have been classified with the other separator combinations in subclass 68.
(2) Note. See HEATING, COOLING, OR DRYING MATERIAL and Lines With Other Classes of the class definition. Where the disclosed purpose of applying fluid subsequent to comminuting is for supporting combustion the combination is classifiable in Class 110.
