Proposing a seven-parameter kinetics model for predicting cerussite flotation recovery
Sulfide lead resources are being depleted and the exploitation of carbonate lead deposits is now the main focus of lead mining. Cerussite, PbCO3, is majorly discarded to tailing damps because it is difficult to be processed by flotation in lead concentration units. This paper not only investigates the optimization of cerussite flotation, but it also proposes a model for predict...

zur nichtinvasiven Evaluation der Gewebevitalität darstellen. The goal of this work was to provide techniques and hardware for 23 Na MRI of the human brain, heart and muscle in a clinical scanner at 1.5 T. For this purpose, radiofrequency (RF) coils were developed and a transmit/receive switch was adapted to 16.84 MHz. A 3D radial gradient echo (GRE) sequence was implemented, with a minimum ech...
متن کاملSodium MRI of the human heart at 7.0 T: preliminary results.
The objective of this work was to examine the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) and whole heart coverage (23)Na cardiac MRI at 7.0 T including single-cardiac-phase and cinematic (cine) regimes. A four-channel transceiver RF coil array tailored for (23)Na MRI of the heart at 7.0 T (f = 78.5 MHz) is proposed. An integrated bow-tie antenna building block is used for (1)H MR to support shimming...
متن کاملSodium (23Na) MRI detects elevated muscular sodium concentration in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
OBJECTIVE In boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), (1)H MRI suggested muscular edema before fatty degeneration. Using specific (23)Na MRI sequences, we tested the hypothesis that the edema is caused by an osmotic effect due to increased myoplasmic Na(+) content rather than inflammation that would lead to extracellular edema. METHODS Eleven patients with DMD (mean age, 10 ± 5 years) and...
متن کامل3D radial projection technique with ultrashort echo times for sodium MRI: clinical applications in human brain and skeletal muscle.
(23)Na MRI has the potential to noninvasively detect sodium (Na) content changes in vivo. The goal of this study was to implement (23)Na MRI in a clinical setting for neurooncological and muscular imaging. Due to the biexponential T(2) decay of the tissue Na signal with a short component, which ranges between 0.5-8 ms, the measurement of total Na content requires imaging techniques with echo ti...
