Studies on Separation of Fission Product by Flotation Method

Long-Lived Fission Product Transmutation Studies

A systematic study on long-lived fission products (LLFPs) transmutation has been performed with the aim of devising an optimal strategy for their transmutation in critical or subcritical reactor systems and evaluating impacts on the geologic repository. First, 99Tc and 129I were confirmed to have highest transmutation priorities in terms of transmutability and long-term radiological risk reduct...

Separation of Ultra - Fine Sulphur Particles from Nta Dispersion by Aphron Flotation

Oxidative scrubbing is used to remove H2S from gas streams. A key problem in regeneration of the absorbent is the removal of fine particles of sulphur from the suspension of the scrubbing liquid. Dispersions of ultra-fine bubbles have been called "colloidal gas aphrons" or aphrons for short. These dispersions have interesting properties and it was found that they have particular advantages in t...

TOF-SIMS studies of surface chemistry of minerals subjected to flotation separation – A review

This paper reviews the applications of time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) used for surface chemical analysis of mineral in the context of froth flotation. A wide range of applications are reviewed, including; interactions of reagents on the surface of mineral phases during flotation separation, determining the effects of various transferred ions from different minerals or...
