APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WASHING CONTAMINATED MATERIAL, AND GLASS CULLET PRODUCED THEREBY

摘要

Apparatus for cleaning contaminated aggregate comprising: at least one channel arranged in use to receive a liquid containing contaminated aggregate; and first and second banks or groups of at least one jet. The first bank or group of jets is arranged to direct pressurised fluid at the contaminated aggregate in order to agitate the contaminated aggregate against a surface thereby promoting separation of cleaned aggregate from contaminated aggregate. The second bank or group of jets is arranged to direct and/or urge the cleaned aggregate to a drainage outlet.
