[0040] [0040] The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for filtering, and particularly to the use of improved screen baskets to be used in methods and systems for sorption of metals from metal-containing ore. Embodiments of the present disclosure may be utilized with carbon- in-pulp (CIP), carbon-in-leach (CIL), and resin-in-leach (RIL) systems, among others. CIL and CIP systems are, for example, two counter-current methods for adsorbing leached gold from a pulp stream onto activated carbon. In such CIL and CIP processes, a plurality of adsorption tanks are placed in a series. Pulp flows continuously from the first tank of this series to the last tank.
[0042] [0042] A description of existing metal screen baskets and methods of use thereof in the above- described CIP processes may be found in U.S. Patent No. 5,238,117. The process described in U.S. Patent No. 5,238,117 have generally become known in the art as 'NKM” vertically swept interstage screening processes, and the screen baskets used therein have generally become known in the art as NKM screen baskets. Generally, such NKM screen baskets include a metal support frame provided with a wedge wide screen wrapped around a peripheral sidewall thereof. The wedge wire screen is used to filter materials from a metal-rich pulp. The screen basket is attached to an NKM screening device, and a lower portion of this NKM screening device, including the attached NKM screen basket, is immersed in a tank containing carbon-in-pulp material. Impellers on the NKM screening device cause the pulp in the tank to follow through the wedge wire screen and into the interior of the NKM screen. However, the wedge wire screen has a very low open screening area, which leads to inefficient screening. The low open screening area also leads to clogging. Clogging, in turn, forces increased volumes of pulp to flow through the unclogged areas of the wedge wire screen, which increases the wear rate of the screen. Additionally, the individual wires that form the wedge wire screens tend to deteriorate or break over time due to forces _ encountered during screening processes, such as sweeping of internal and external propulsion R blades. 3 o- [0043] In exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, an improved screen basket device 2 for screening material is provided. The device comprises a support frame having a substantially . closed bottom and an open top, and a substantially cylindrical sidewall support portion extending 3 between the bottom and top of the support frame. The support frame may be metal, such as & 6
[0044] [0044] The polyurethane screen sidewall may be formed from a plurality of individual polyurethane screen members. These individual polyurethane screen members may be aligned adjacent to one another to provide a generally continuous screening area across the screen sidewall. In one example, the plurality of individual polyurethane screen members may include eight individual polyurethane screen members. In such embodiments, these eight individual polyurethane screen members may be arranged such that four of the screen members are on a lower half of the support frame and four of the screen members are on an upper half of the support frame.
[0045] [0045] In certain embodiments, the substantially closed bottom may be provided with a centralized aperture that allows receipt of the drive shaft of an NKM apparatus.
[0046] [0046] The high open-area polyurethane screen member, in certain embodiments, comprises a flexible molded polyurethane body; screen openings in the body: a set of first, substantially parallel _ flexible members defining opposite first sides of the screen openings; a set of second, substantially R parallel flexible members defining second opposite sides of the screen openings, whereby the 3 second members are substantially perpendicular to the second members; a set of third, substantially 2 parallel members having multiple first members therebetween; a set of fourth, substantially parallel e members having multiple second members therebetween; side edge portions substantially parallel 3 at opposite sides of the body, between which the third members therein extend; and a first end
[0047] [0047] The polyurethane screen member can also include reinforcement members molded integrally within at least one of the first and third members and at least one of the second and fourth members. In some embodiments, the reinforcement members integrally formed within the first members may have a substantially uniform thickness having a magnitude in the range of about
[0048] [0048] The side edge portions of the polyurethane screen member may be configured for use in attaching the screen member to the support frame. A plurality of enlarged polyurethane ribs can _ be integrally formed on an exterior surface of the polyurethane screen body, with the ribs arranged R substantially vertical relative to the sidewall support portion. Each of the plurality of ribs may 3 extend substantially from a top to a bottom of the polyurethane screen member. 2 [0049] In further embodiments of the present disclosure, a basket cage may be provided that . includes a tubular, or substantially cylindrical grid frame with multiple openings. The multiple 3 openings in the grid frame can be arranged in a square lattice, and each one (or, in some
[0050] [0050] The basket cage may feature flanges at the top and bottom of the cage. The top flange and openings can permit or otherwise facilitate mounting a plate or another type of cover on the flange. In addition or in other embodiments, the flange and openings can permit or otherwise facilitate mounting the basket cage into a screen separator machine (e.g., an NKM vertically swept interstage apparatus).
[0051] [0051] The basket cage can be utilized in a separation process to separate specific particulate matter from slurry or another type of fluid source. To that end, in one embodiment, screening cartridge assemblies can be mounted to the basket cage, where the screening cartridge assemblies can permit or otherwise facilitate the separation of specific particulate matter from the slurry. Each one of the screening cartridge assemblies can be mounted or otherwise affixed to a respective _ group of grid members that define, at least in part, a respective opening of the grid frame. For
[0052] [0052] In some embodiments, each one of the multiple screening cartridge assemblies 3 mounted or affixed to the grid frame includes a screening assembly and a case (or another type of & 9
[0053] [0053] The screen assembly has, in some embodiments, three individual screen units. The case includes a first opening configured to receive and/or fit the screen assembly within the case, and a second opening that permits exposing a screening surface of the screen assembly to an exterior of the grid frame. The case also includes ridges that extend from a first edge of the case, near the first opening, to an opposing second edge of the case. The ridges and respective portions of the case form respective recesses that permit or otherwise facilitate mounting (e.g., gripping or clipping) the case to the grid frame.
[0054] [0054] The entirety or substantially the entirety of the grid frame of the screen basket can be covered with screening cartridge assemblies in operation of a separation process. As such, in an _ example embodiment, 264 screening cartridge assemblies can be mounted to the respective 264 R square openings in the grid frame. 3 [0055] Further, the case can include an attachment frame section and a holder frame section. 2 The holder frame section can receive and/or hold the screen assembly formed by screen units. The . attachment frame section can include a set of ridges that form respective recesses, which in turnLOS
[0056] [0056] Screen cartridges according to the present disclosure may be any suitable shape for attachment to a grid frame of a basket cage. For example and without limitation, the screen cartridges may be of a square shape, or rectangular, or ovular, or any other shape. Although example embodiments may provide for screen cartridges that are shaped to substantially match the grid openings of the grid frame (i.e., a square screen cartridge on a grid frame with square grid openings), screen cartridges of varying shapes may be affixed to grid openings a different shape. Similarly, the grid frame of the basket cage may be of any suitable shape for screening.
[0057] [0057] Screen elements and screen cartridges according to the embodiments discussed herein resist wear, abrasion, bending, and chemicals better than metal, and thus tend to last longer than wedge wire frames in CIL processes. Screen elements as discussed herein also allow for the formation of significantly smaller screen openings than those of conventional wedge wire frames, which in turn improves screening efficiency. Use of the screen members as described herein provides for significantly larger screening areas, and significantly reduces blinding as compared to conventional wedge wire screen baskets. In use, screen elements and screen cartridges as described herein also allow for a substantially consistent distance between the external propulsion _ blades of the screening apparatus and the screening cartridge assembly, thereby reducing clogging R and elongating the life of the screen elements. 3 [0058] Referring now to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the screen basket 1 of the 2 present disclosure comprises a basket frame structure 510 that has a high open-area polyurethane N screen 600 attached thereto.LO
[0059] [0059] As indicated in FIG. 1, the basket frame 510 generally has a cylindrical configuration, although other shapes may be used. The basket frame 510 may preferably be formed of stainless steel, although other materials may be used. The frame has an upper end 511 and a lower end 515, and includes a plurality of vertical support members 530 forming a vertical support portion extending between the upper and lower ends 511, 515 of the frame 510. As shown in FIG. 2, the vertical support portion of the frame 510 has an interior side 521 and an exterior side 522.
[0060] [0060] As shown in FIG. 3, the support of the basket frame 510 may be formed from a plurality of the vertical support members 530 and a plurality of horizontal support members 550. The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 includes four primary support members 531 spaced along a periphery of the frame 510, along with a plurality of secondary support members 542 spaced between the primary support members 531. Together, the primary and secondary support members 531, 542 join the upper and lower ends 511, 515 of the frame 510 in a spaced arrangement. The horizontal support members 550 may be provided by a plurality of annular rings or curved sections that are joined end-to-end to form a plurality of annular rings in a spaced relationship throughout the basket frame 510.
[0061] [0061] As shown in FIG. 3, each of the vertical support members 531 may include an interior strut portion 532. The interior strut portion 532 may, in turn, include apertures 534 therethrough. _ The horizontal support members 550 pass through the apertures 534, thus maintaining the R horizontal support members 550 in a stacked and spaced arrangement. 3 [0062] As shown in the top view of FIG. 2, the upper end 511 of the frame 510 is provided 2 with an opening to allow for use in receiving and processing materials within the screen basket 1. e The lower end 515 of the frame 510 is provided with a substantially solid or closed bottom 516 3 for retaining materials in the screen basket 1 during processing. The substantially closed bottom
[0063] [0063] Embodiments of the disclosure may include a high open-area polyurethane screen 600 attached to a periphery of the frame 510, thereby forming a screen basket 1 having an open top, a substantially solid or closed bottom 516, and a polyurethane screen sidewall 601.
[0064] [0064] Polyurethane screen 600 may be provided in the form of separate, smaller screen members 10, due to potential size constraints in the molding process of the polyurethane screen
[0065] [0065] FIGS. 4 to 6 show features of an example embodiment of a screen member 10 configured for use in forming the polyurethane screen sidewall 601 of a screen basket 1. FIGS. 4 to 5 show the exterior and interior sides of an embodiment of the screen member 10, respectively, while FIG. 6 shows a side view of an embodiment of the screen member 10. The screen member may comprise polyurethane screens described in more detail in the following patents and patent publications, which share a common assignee with the present disclosure and are incorporated by reference herein: U.S. Patent No. 8,584,866; U.S. Patent No. 9,010,539; U.S. Patent No. _ 9,375,756; U.S. Patent No. 9,403,192; U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015/0197827A1; R and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016/0303611A1. 3 [0066] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure may provide for a 2 screen member 10 with a body 12 of molded polyurethane having unperforated side edge portions e 14, 16. Side edge portions 14, 16 may each have an integral side ridge portion 29 for use in sealing 3 adjacent screen members 10 to one another and for securing screen members 10 to the basket frame
[0067] [0067] Body 12 of screen member 10 also includes a lower edge portion 18 and an upper edge portion 20, which, in combination with side edge portions 14, 16, define an outer border of the screen member 10. In certain embodiments, side ridge portion 29 may extend the entire length between upper edge portion 20 and lower edge portion 18.
[0068] [0068] Body 12 further includes an exterior surface 22 and an interior surface 24. FIG. 4 depicts an exterior surface 22 of the body 12 when screen member 10 is affixed to the basket frame 510, as shown, for example, in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 depicts an interior surface 24 of the body 12 when screen member is affixed to the basket frame 510 as shown, for example, in FIG. 1. Body 12 includes first members 101 and second members 102 forming screen openings 26, as shown in _ detail in FIG. 8 and FIG. 8A. First members 101 and second members 102 may, in some R embodiments, be configured to include reinforcement members 50, as discussed in more detail 3 below. As shown in the side view of FIG. 6, screen element 10 may further include vertical ribs 2 28 on the exterior surface 22 of screen element 10. Screen element 10 may, however, not include e vertical ribs 28 in certain embodiments of the present disclosure.LO
[0069] [0069] Body 12 may further include third members 203 and fourth members 204. Third members 203 and fourth members 204, and vertical ribs 28 if present, may also include reinforcement members 50, discussed in more detail below. Third members 203, fourth members 204, and vertical ribs 28 may, however, not include reinforcement members 50 in certain embodiments of the present disclosure. Third members 203 and fourth members 204 are generally configured to provide support to the screen openings 26 formed by first and second members 101,
[0070] [0070] FIG. 8 shows a portion of an embodiment of screen element 10, with FIG. 8A depicting an enlarged view of a portion of FIG. 8. As shown in the detail view of FIG. 8A, first and second members 101, 102 form a first integrally molded grid structure 100 that defines screen openings
[0071] [0071] Reinforcement members 50 may be incorporated into desired members of the screen element 10. Reinforcement members 50 provide stability to screen element 10 by preventing the side edges 14, 16 from deforming and/or hour-glassing. In an exemplary embodiment, reinforcement members 50 may be integrated (such as by molding integrally) with the appropriate _ members. Reinforcement members 50 may be made of plastic, metal, polymer, or any other R suitable material with the necessary structural properties. For example, the reinforcement 3 members 50 may be embodied in rods that are molded integrally with the screen members. The 2 reinforcement members 50 may also be embodied in aramid fibers that are at least one of a twisted . multistrand and a woven multistrand, such that the fibers act as wicks to absorb the polyurethane 3 molded around it, thereby providing a strong bond therewith. The twisted or woven multistrandN
[0072] [0072] Referring back to the example embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, and the detail view shown in FIG. 8, grid structures 200 and 300 include bi-directionally integrally molded members forming support grids within the members. Due to the properties of the reinforcement members 50 and the configuration of the bi-directional grid structure, the members may have a relatively small size and thus provide for increased open screening area. The grid structures provide screen strength and support for openings 26 during vibratory loading, and significantly increase open screening area. _ [0073] As shown in the detail view of FIG. 8A, first members 101 may extend transversely R between side edge portions 14, 16, in a manner substantially parallel with each other. Second 3 members 102 may extend transversely between the lower edge portion 18 and the upper edge 2 portion 20, in a manner substantially parallel with each other and substantially perpendicular to . first members 101. In certain embodiments, second members 102 may have a thickness greater 3 than that of the first members 101 to provide additional structural support to screen openings 26.
[0074] [0074] As referred to above, and as shown in the exploded isometric view of FIG. 12, first members 101 and/or second members 102 may include reinforcement members 50, and may or may not be supported by additional support members or support grid structures. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, which depicts a fragmentary cross-sectional view of body 12 of screen member 10, body 12 has first and second members 101, 102 with bi-directional reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therewith. Reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therewith first members 101 have a thickness in the range of about 0.006 inches to about 0.015 inches. Reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therewith second members 102 (not shown) have a thickness in the range of about 0.015 inches to about 0.040 inches. Such configurations may be beneficial for screening applications requiring screens with larger screen openings.
[0075] [0075] Embodiments of the present disclosure may incorporate reinforcement members 50 in any one of first, second, third, and fourth members 101, 102, 203, 204, as well as ribs 28, and may be incorporated into either all or a portion of the first, second, third, and fourth members 101, 102, 203, 204 and rib members 28.
[0076] [0076] As shown in FIG. 8 and detail FIG. 8A, screen openings 26 may be elongated, with a greater length dimension along sides and between ends thereof than the width dimensions. Screen openings 26 may be approximately 0.044 mm to about 4.0 mm in width, the width being the _ dimension between the inner surfaces of adjacent first members 101. Screen openings 26 may be R approximately 0.44 mm to about 60 mm in length, the length being the dimension between the 3 inner surfaces of adjacent second members 102. Screen openings 26 may additionally have a 2 variety of different shapes. For example, screen openings 26 may have a rectangular shape, or a e sguare shape, or an ovular shape, or any other shape that may be formed by the first and second 3 members 101, 102. The overall dimensions of screen element 10 may be about 1.2 meters by 1.6
[0077] [0077] Referring briefly to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, screen openings 26 may diverge downwardly between exterior surface 22 and interior surface 24, with the first members 101 being substantially in the shape of inverted trapezoids. This general trapezoidal shape of first members 101 prevents blinding in screen element 10 and overall polyurethane screen 600. First members 101 may include reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therewith, as shown in FIG. 10, or may optionally not include reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therewith, as shown in FIG.
[0078] [0078] As illustrated in the detail view of FIG. 8A, third and fourth members 203, 204 may have a thickness greater than first and second members 101, 102. The increased thickness of third and fourth members 203, 204 may provide additional structural support to first and second members 101, 102. As shown in the example embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 8A, third members 203 may extend transversely between the side edge portions 14, 16 in a manner substantially parallel with each other, and may have multiple first members 101 featured therebetween. Fourth members 204 may extend transversely between lower edge portion 18 and upper edge portion 20 in a manner substantially parallel with each other, and may have multiple second members 102 featured _ therebetween. Reinforcement members 50 may be molded integrally with third and fourth R members 203, 204. Third and fourth members 203, 204 may be configured to have a minimal 3 thickness through inclusion of reinforcement members 50, while maintaining the necessary 2 structural support for screen openings 26 formed by first and second members 101, 102 during e vibratory screening applications. The bi-directional support system provided by third and fourth 3 members 203, 204 and the added support of reinforcement members 50 integrated therein, where
[0079] [0079] Body 12 may further include a plurality of vertical ribs 28. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a series of nine ribs 28 may be provided. Ribs 28 may have a thickness greater than that of third and fourth members 203, 204, and may have a portion extending away from the interior surface 24 of body 12. As shown in FIG. 2, ribs 28 may also be provided extending away from the exterior surface 522 of body 12 and thus providing vertical support along the exterior screen sidewall 601. The greater thickness and positioning of ribs 28 provides additional structural support to first and second members 101, 102.
[0080] [0080] Ribs 28 may extend transversely between the lower edge portion 18 and the upper edge portion 20 in a manner substantially parallel to each other, and may have multiple fourth members 204 therebetween. Ribs 28 may, additionally and in the alternative, extend transversely between the side edge portions 14, 16 in a manner substantially parallel to each other, and may have multiple third members 203 therebetween. Ribs 28 may have reinforcement members 50 molded integrally therein. Ribs 28 may be provided for additional support to screen openings 26, and may be configured to have a minimal thickness through inclusion of reinforcement members 50, while providing the necessary structural support to maintain screen openings 26 during vibratory _ screening applications. Like third and fourth members 203, 204, provision of a support system of R ribs 28 greatly reduces the thickness of the support members and provides for increased open 3 screening area and overall screen efficiencies. 2 [0081] Various configurations of reinforcement members 50 may be provided in the support . rib members 28 to add stability to screen member 10. Reinforcement members 50 provided in the 3 support rib members 28 may be an aramid fiber (or individual filaments thereof), a naturally
[0082] [0082] Each element of screen element 10 able to incorporate such reinforcement members 50 may include zero, one, or multiple reinforcement members 50, and the reinforcement members 50 used therein may be of different sizes and materials. Reinforcement members 50 may be located in the bottom halves of the members so as not to be exposed relatively early during the life of the screen element 10, as the upper surface of the screen may wear.
[0083] [0083] The inclusion of the reinforcement members 50, as well as the support framework of the bi-directional support members, allows the first members 101, as well as second members 102, to be relatively thin, creating larger screen openings. Embodiments as described herein have relatively large tensile strengths with relatively small cross-sectional areas. The making of the support members and the thin first members 101 results in the screen member 10 and overall screen 600 having a greater percentage of open area, which, in turn, increases the capacity of the system. Open screening areas according to the embodiments described herein may range, for example, from about 40 percent to about 46 percent of the screen.
[0084] [0084] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a vibratory screen 10 includes a flexible molded polyurethane body 12 having substantially parallel side edge portions 14, 16 at _ opposite ends of body 12, as well as a lower edge portion 18 substantially perpendicular to the side R edge portions 14, 16, and an upper edge portion 20 substantially perpendicular to the side edge 3 portions 14, 16 and opposite the lower edge portion 18. Polyurethane body 12 further includes an 2 exterior surface 22 and interior surface 24. First and second members 101, 102 are provided, e forming screening openings 26. The first members 101 extend between the side edge portions 14, 3 16, and the second members 102 extend between the lower and upper edge portions 18, 20. TheN
[0086] [0086] In the aforementioned embodiments and examples, the size of each grid unit formed by the intersection of the third and fourth members 203, 204 is approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. Generally, grid units may be larger for screens with larger screen openings and grid units may be smaller for screens with smaller screen openings. This principle may be generally applicable for each example embodiment discussed herein. Grid units may also have a generally rectangular shape, or may have any other suitable shape for supporting the screen openings.
[0087] [0087] The use of polyurethane screen members 10 as described herein to form a screen sidewall 601 on a basket frame has significant advantages over conventional wedge wire screens. Polyurethane screen members 10 as described herein resist wear, abrasion, bending, and chemicals better than metal, and thus tend to last longer than wedge wire frames in CIL processes. Polyurethane also allows for the formation of significantly smaller screen openings than those of conventional wedge wire frames, which in turn improves screening efficiency. Use of the _ polyurethane screen members 10 as described herein provides for significantly larger screening R areas, and significantly reduces blinding as compared to conventional wedge wire screen baskets. 3 [0088] In operation, the screen basket 1 described herein may be used with known CIP and 2 CIL devices and processes, such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 5,238,117. For example, e as shown in FIGS. 13 to 14, the screen basket 1 is attached below a volute portion of an NKM 3 vertically swept interstage apparatus. A drive shaft of the NKM apparatus passes from the top to
[0089] [0089] With the screen basket 1 attached to the NKM apparatus, the lower portion of the NKM device, including the screen basket 1, is inserted into and suspended over a large adsorption tank containing slurry of pulp to be processed. The level of the pulp in the tank is higher than the level of the fluid in the screen basket 1. This arrangement causes the pulp to naturally flow through the screen of the screen basket 1 in an effort to equalize the fluid levels in the pulp tank and the screen basket 1. Blades on the outside of the NKM unit rotate within the tank around an outer periphery of the screen sidewall of the screen basket 1. The outside blades also assist in preventing particles from clogging the exterior side of the polyurethane screen, such as by carbon and pulp. The pulse and sweeping action reduces the possibility of carbon and near size material blinding the screen openings. Impeller blades located on the inside of the screen, such as on the drive shaft, serve to keep particles in suspension and drive pulp upward toward the volute and launder.
[0090] [0090] During the process, pulp flows upward through the inside of the screen basket 1. Carbon is retained in the screen. The pulp exists via the launder interface situated above the _ polyurethane screen and volute interface. R [0091] In these processes, it can be seen that the continuous rotation of interior and exterior 3 blades in the vicinity of the polyurethane screen, together with the flow of large volumes of pulp 2 through the openings of the polyurethane screen, subjects the screen to substantial wear and tear. e The polyurethane screens and the arrangement of the screen basket described herein are designedLO
[0092] [0092] Although the screen basket 1 has been described for use in a CIP or CIL process, the relatively small openings and relatively large screening area of the polyurethane screen members described herein allow the screen basket 1 to be used for other purposes, such as water filtration and desalination.
[0093] [0093] FIG. 15 illustrates a perspective view of an example of a basket cage 1500 in accordance with an additional embodiment of the disclosure. The basket cage 1500 includes a grid frame 1510 that is tubular (or has substantially cylindrical symmetry) with respect to a longitudinal axis and has multiple openings 1513. As such, the grid frame 1510 has a height and a diameter. As an illustration, the height can have a magnitude in a range from about 23 in (about 58 cm) to about 122 in (about 310 cm). As another illustration, the diameter can have a magnitude in a range from about 10 in (about 25.4 cm) to about 73 in (about 185.4 cm). In an example embodiment, the height has a magnitude of about 80 in (about 203.2 cm) and the diameter has a magnitude of about 50 in (about 127 cm). It is noted that the disclosure is not limited to such illustrative magnitudes of height and/or diameter, and other sizes of the grid frame 1510 can be contemplated. Additionally, the grid frame 1510 is not limited to a tubular or cylindrical _ symmetry, but can be shaped in any configuration suitable for screening, and particularly for R carbon retention screening as discussed herein. Grid frame 1510 may also be formed from any 3 material providing sufficient structure for the screening process and sufficient support for the 2 screening cartridges that will be attached to the grid frame 1510. For example, grid frame 1510 . may be formed of a metal or metallic alloy, such as stainless steel, or may be a thermoplastic 3 material sufficient to support the screening cartridges. In embodiments featuring a thermoplastic
[0094] [0094] In certain embodiments, the grid frame 1510 can be formed in the desired shape by bending a perforated sheet onto itself, around the longitudinal axis, and joining opposing edges of the perforated sheet. The joined opposing edges can form a longitudinal seam 1515. In some embodiments, the perforated sheet can be formed from a metal or metallic alloy (e.g., stainless steel), and the opposing edges can be joined by welding. In other embodiments, the perforated sheet can be formed from a rigid plastic, and the opposing edges can be joined by laser welding and/or gluing with a suitable adhesive. The multiple openings 1513 in the grid frame 1510 can be arranged in a square lattice, and each one (or, in some embodiments, at least some) of the multiple openings 1513 can have a square shape. Multiple openings 1513 may have shapes other than a square shape, such as a rectangular shape, an ovular shape, a circular shape, and so forth. Moreover, multiple openings 1513 are not required to have a consistent shape throughout the grid frame 1510. For example, some embodiments may feature alternating rectangular openings of varying sizes to form the overall grid frame 1510. In an example embodiment, the multiple openings 1513 can include 264 square openings. A subset of the multiple openings can be defined _ by longitudinal members 1511 and transversal members 1512. Openings in such a subset may be R referred to as inner openings. A second subset of the multiple openings can be defined by 3 longitudinal members 1511 and transversal segments of a first annular section 1512a of the grid 2 frame 1510. Similarly, a third subset of the multiple openings can be defined by longitudinal e members 1511 and transversal segments of a second annular section 1512b of the grid frame 1510. 3 The second subset and the third subset of openings can be referred to as outer openings.N
[0095] [0095] The first annular section 1512a and the second annular section 1512b can embody or otherwise can constitute respective opposing end portions of the grid frame 1510, along the longitudinal axis. A flange 1520 can be affixed or otherwise attached to an end of the first annular section 1512a. The flange 1520 can include multiple first openings 1525. The flange 1520 and first openings 1525 can permit or otherwise facilitate mounting a plate or another type of cover on the flange 1520. In addition or in other embodiments, the flange 1520 and first openings 1525 can permit or otherwise facilitate mounting the basket cage 1500 into a screen separator machine (e.g, an NKM vertically swept interstage apparatus, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14). In addition, a second flange 1530 can be affixed or otherwise attached to the second annular section 1512b. The second flange 1530 can include multiple second openings 1535. The flange 1530 and second openings 1535 can permit or otherwise facilitate mounting the basket cage 1500 into a screen separator machine (e.g., an NKM vertically swept interstage apparatus, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14), and/or affixing an exterior wiper assembly of the screen separator machine (not shown).
[0096] [0096] As is illustrated in FIG. 15, the basket cage 1500 can also include an opening in a vicinity of the second end of the grid frame 1510, near the second flange 1530. A pipe member 1540 can be assembled on the vicinity of the opening. The opening and the pipe member 1540 can form an outlet that can permit or otherwise facilitate the egress of a slurry from the interior of _ the basket cage 1500 when it needs to be drained upon removal. R [0097] Similar to other screen baskets of this disclosure, the basket cage 1500 in combination 3 with screening elements can be utilized in a separation process to separate specific particulate 2 matter from slurry or another type of fluid source. To that end, in one embodiment, screening e cartridge assemblies can be mounted to the basket cage 1500, where the screening cartridge 3 assemblies can permit or otherwise facilitate the separation of specific particulate matter from the
[0099] [0099] As is illustrated in FIG. 16B, screening cartridge assembly 1610a includes a case 1630a and a screen assembly having three screen units 1640a.

The exemplified screening cartridge assembly 1800 includes a case 1810 and a screen assembly having three screen units 1830. As mentioned, the disclosure is not limited to three screen units and, in some embodiments, less or additional screen units can be implemented. The case 1810 has a generally arcuate shape, and includes a first opening configured to receive and/or fit the screen assembly within the case 1810. The case also includes a first ridge 1820a and a second ridge 1820b. Each one of the ridge 1820a and the ridge 1820b extends from a vicinity of a first, top edge of the case 1810 to a vicinity of an opposing second, bottom edge of the case 1810. In use, the arcuate shape of case 1810 allow for a substantially consistent distance between the external propulsion blades _ of the screening apparatus and the screening cartridge assembly, thereby reducing clogging and R elongating the life of the screen elements. 3 [00108] Similar to other screening cartridge assemblies of this disclosure, as is illustrated in the 2 top cross-sectional view 1850 of screening cartridge assembly 1800 shown in FIG. 18B, each one ” of the screen units 1830 can include two end framework units 1855 and a single medial frameworkLO
[00109] [00109] The screen units 1830 can be mechanically joined or otherwise secured together to form the screen assembly. To that end, in an embodiment, each one of the screen units 1830 can include one or more fasteners that can permit or otherwise facilitate fastening a first one of the screen units 1830 to a second one of the screen units 1830. Regardless of the mechanism for adjoining the screen units, the respective screen elements of the screen units 1830 can form a screening surface of the screening cartridge assembly 1800. The case 1810 also includes an opening that permits exposing at least a portion of the screening surface, as is shown in the side view 1890 of screening cartridge assembly 1800 in FIG. 18B.

Such sections may be separated by support members (represented with dashed lines in the plan view 2090). The disclosure is not limited to screen elements having four sections and, in some embodiments, less or additional sections having screening openings can be implemented.
[00115] [00115] FIG. 21A illustrates a perspective view of medial framework unit 1857 in accordance with one or more embodiments of the disclosure. The medial framework unit 1857 is elongated, and includes longitudinal side members 2138 opposite and substantially parallel to one another. The medial framework unit 1857 also includes transversal side members 2136 opposite and substantially parallel to one another. Each one of the transversal side member 2136 is substantially _ perpendicular to the longitudinal side members 2138. As mentioned, the medial framework unit R 1857 can include fastening mechanisms that permit or otherwise facilitate mechanically joining or 3 otherwise securing together the medial framework unit 1857 and another framework unit (either 2 an end framework unit 1855 or a medial framework unit 1857). Specifically, in some e embodiments, the fastening mechanisms can be assembled or otherwise formed on respective 3 portions of the longitudinal side members 2138, with the transversal side members 2136 free from

The screen element 1860 includes first side portions 2220 and second side portions 2222 that form a seamless periphery. The first side portions 2220 are substantially parallel to one another, and each one of the first side portions 2220 is substantially perpendicular to the second side portions 2222. Similarly, the second side portions 2222 are substantially parallel to one another, and each one of the second side portions 2222 is substantially perpendicular to the first side portions 2220. Each one of the side portions 2220 is configured to rest on and be affixed to transversal side members (e.g., members 2136) of a framework unit 1855, 1857 (e.g., medial framework unit 1857) in accordance with embodiments of this disclosure. As such, each one of the side portions 2220 can include cavities configured to receive or otherwise _ engage fusion bars on a surface of the transversal side members. Similarly, side portions 2222 are R configured to rest on longitudinal side members of a framework unit 1855, 1857 (e.g., framework 3 unit 1857) in accordance with this disclosure. Thus, each one of the side portions 2222 includes 2 cavities configured to receive or otherwise engage fusion bars on a respective surface of the e longitudinal side members.LO

Regardless of position in the screen element 1860, each one (or, in some embodiments, at least one) of the attachment apertures 2224 is configured to permit or otherwise facilitate passage of an elongated attachment member 2144 (e.g., see FIG. 21 A) can pass through the attachment aperture 2224. In one or more of such embodiments, the attachment apertures 2224 _ may include a tapered bore that may be filled when a portion of the elongated attachment member R 2144 above a screening surface of the screen element 1860 is melted, fastening screen element 3 1860 to the medial framework unit 1857 or to another type of framework unit disclosed herein. In 2 other embodiments, the attachment apertures 2224 can be configured without a tapered bore, e permitting formation of a bead on a screening surface 2013 of the screen element 1860 when a 3 portion of an elongated attachment member 2144 above such a screening surface is melted,
[00124] [00124] The screening surface 2213 has multiple screening openings. Each one (or, in some embodiments, at least some) of the multiple screening opening can be elongated and can have a defined length L and defined width W (e.g, see FIG. 22C and related description below) having respective magnitudes based on the screening application (e.g., CIL process, CIP process, ore treatment, water desalinization, or the like) in which the screen element 1860 is utilized.
[00125] [00125] As is illustrated in FIG. 22A and FIG. 22B (depicting top and side views 2250, 2270, and 2290 of screen element 1860), the multiple openings can be arranged in sections, with screening openings in a section arranged in a lattice. Each one of the sections is defined, at least in part, by support members 2230, 2238, and 2240 of the screen element 1860. In one embodiment, screening openings that are adjacent to a periphery of the screen element 1860 can be defined by longitudinal bars parallel to first side portions of the screen element 1860, transversal bars perpendicular to the longitudinal bars, and segments of edges of side portions of the screen element _ 1860. In addition, screen openings that are in the interior portion of a section can be defined by R longitudinal bars and transversal bars. Longitudinal bars define a major side of the elongated 3 openings, and transversal bars define a minor side of elongated openings. 2 [00126] FIG. 22C is an enlarged top view of a portion of a screen element, according to an ” example embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 22C illustrates features common to various 3 screens of the disclosure, such as screen 1860 shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B. As shown in FIG.
[00127] [00127] In some embodiments, the multiple screening openings may have a substantially uniform length L having a magnitude in a range from about 300 um to 4000 um (i.e., 0.0118 inches to 0.1575 inches). In addition, the multiple screening openings may have a substantially uniform width W having a magnitude in a range from about 35 pm to about 4000 um (i.e., 0.0014 inches to 0.1575 inches). As an illustration, in some embodiments, the magnitude of width W may be approximately equal to one of 43 um (i.e., 0.0017 inches), 74 um (i.e., 0.0029 inches), 90 um (i.e,
[00128] [00128] Table 2. (below) illustrates further example configurations of surface elements 84 and screening openings 86. In this example, surface elements 84 have a fixed thickness T = 0.014 inches. Screening openings 86 have a fixed length L = 0.076 inches and variable width W. As may be expected, for a fixed number of screen openings 86, the percent open area decreases with the width W of each screen opening 86. In this example, the percent open area varies from a minimum of 6.2% open area, for the smallest width W = 0.0017 inches, to a maximum of 23.3% open area for the largest width W = 0.0071 inches. W (inches) T (inches) L (inches) = s0 | = 00071 0014 0076
[00130] [00130] Table 4. (below) illustrates further example configurations of surface elements 84 and
[00131] [00131] As is illustrated in FIGS. 23A and 23B, some embodiments may include fastening mechanisms in framework units (either medial framework units 2357 or end framework units 2355) that can permit or otherwise facilitate assembling a screen assembly 2300 that has certain curvature. In one of such embodiments, the fastening mechanisms can include clips and clip apertures such that the screen assembly 2300 that is assembled is curved rather than substantially
[00133] [00133] Detachable case with top case portion 2410 and bottom case portion 2411 includes substantially the same features as case 1810 discussed herein, including an attachment frame section, holder frame section, and ridges. As shown in the perspective view of bottom case portion 2411 illustrated in FIG. 25, attachment frame section 2452 includes internal sidewalls and attachment ridges 2420a and 2420b permit or otherwise facilitate mounting (e.g., clipping, clutching, or otherwise engaging) the screening cartridge assembly 2410 to a grid frame of this disclosure, such as grid frame 1510. Holder frame section 2454 can receive and/or hold the screen assembly formed by screen units, in a manner substantially similar to that of holder frame section 1854 of case 1800 discussed in more detail herein.
[00134] [00134] Top case portion 2410 and bottom case portion 2411 may each be formed of a single injection molded piece integrally formed by means of injection molding a polyurethane, a _ thermoset polymer, or other types of polymer. Due to the relative simplicity of separate top case R portion 2410 and bottom case portion 2411, as related to a single case (such as case 1810), the top 3 case portion 2410 and bottom case portion 2411 may more easily be created by an injection- 2 molding process. Example embodiments of the injection molded process are discussed in more e detail in the disclosures of U.S. Patent Application No. 13/800,826, U.S. Patent No. 9,409,209, 3 U.S. Patent No. 9,884,344, U.S. Patent Application No. 15/851,009, U.S. Patent Application No.
