zn(ii) adsorption study onto soils of sarcheshmeh copper mine
Authors
abstract
soils around mining sites play a significant role in the transport and control of heavy metals in the environment. therefore, understanding the adsorption properties of soil is essential in solving pollution problems. the objective of this paper was to study zn(ii) adsorption onto sarcheshmeh copper mine soils. the adsorption isotherms of zn(ii) were studied. the langmuir isotherm indicated an excellent fit for the experimental data in comparison with other isotherms. the capacity of zn(ii) adsorption was assessed by distribution coefficient for samples (sa and se), such that, the sa sample showed high kd values. also, the amounts of zn(ii) adsorbed onto the soil decreased with increase in the initial concentration. the results of this study show that soils around mine can play an effective role in decreasing zn(ii) contamination.

full textPrediction of Rock Fragmentation Due to Blasting in Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine Using Artificial Neural Networks
The main objective in production blasting is to achieve a proper fragmentation. In this paper, rock fragmentation the Sarcheshmeh copper mine has been predicted by developing a model using artificial neural network. To construct the model, parameters such as burden to spacing ratio, holediameter, stemming, total charge-per-delay and point load index have been considered as input parameters. A m...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) containing high concentrations of iron and sulphate, low pH and variableconcentrations of heavy metals leads to many environmental problems. The concentrations of Cu and Mnare high in the AMD of the Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine, Kerman province, south of Iran. In thisstudy, the bio-remediation of Cu and Mn ions from acid mine drainage was investigated using two nati...
full textDevelopment of Geometallurgical Indices for Semi-Autogenous Grinding at Sarcheshmeh Porphyry Copper Mine
Geometallurgy tries to predict the instability the behavior of ores caused by variability in the geological settings, and to optimize the mineral value chain. Understanding the ore variability and subsequently the process response are considered to be the most important functions of an accurate geometallurgical study. In this paper, the geometallurgical index is presented as a new tool to...
full textAdsorption and desorption of copper(II) ions onto garden grass.
The garden grass (GG) was firstly used to remove copper(II) from water as bioadsorbent. From the results of characterisation, the GG had the merits of high specific surface area, significant adsorption sites and functional groups. Copper-adsorption significantly depends on the initial copper concentrations, contact time, pH, adsorbent doses, particle sizes and temperature. The positive values o...
full textAdsorption of copper ions onto microwave stabilized heavy metal sludge.
Microwave stabilized heavy metal sludge was used as an adsorbent to remove the copper ions from aqueous solution. The adsorption characteristics of copper on the stabilized-sludge were studied by various models, such as Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equation. Results show that the pH(zpc) of stabilized-sludge was at 9.2-9.5. Moreover, the adsorption of copper ions onto the stabilized-sludge ...
