[ 1 ] - Bioleaching and Kinetic Investigation of WPCBs by A. Ferrooxidans, A. Thiooxidans and their Mixtures
Bioleaching was used to mobilize Cu, Zn and Ni from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) and eliminate hazardous metal species from these wastes. Pulp density (PD) and medium culture are two effective factors which have been optimized in this paper. The bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (A. thiooxidans) and their mixture were grown and a...
[ 2 ] - Separation of Manganese and Iron from Reductive Leaching Liquor of Electric Arc Furnace Dust of Ferromanganese Production Units by Solvent Extraction
Electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) of ferromanganese production units, in the form of slurry, contains tar, alkalies, manganese, zinc, iron, silica, calcium, aluminum and other elements. A hydrometallurgical route based on solvent extraction technique was investigated for selective separation of manganese from the dust. Leaching of the EAFD resulted in an aqueous feed containing 4 g/L of manganes...
[ 3 ] - Synthesis and characterization of porous zinc oxide nano-flakes film in alkaline media
In this study, porous zinc oxide nano-flakes were successfully synthesized by anodization method on zinc substrate in a 0.025 M NaOH and 0.05 M NH4Cl solution with the voltage of 10 V at room temperature. The field emission scanning electron microscopy’s (FESEM) images show the structural evolution during 90 min of the anodization process. They also demonstrate the dependency of growth of ZnO f...
[ 4 ] - KINETIC STUDIES FOR GOLD LEACHING OF A REFRACTORY SULFIDE CONCENTRATE BY CHLORIDE–HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION
In this paper, gold leaching of a refractory sulfide concentrate by chloride–hypochlorite solution was investigated and effects of stirring speed, temperature and particle size on the leaching rate were reported. Experimental data for leaching rate of gold were analyzed with the shrinking–core model. Results were consistent with chemical reaction control mechanism in the first 1 h of leachin...
[ 5 ] - بهینه سازی روش پیرو-هیدرومتالورژیکی تشویه برای استحصال سلنیم از لجن آندی مس
لجن آندی مس، محصول جانبی کارخانه‌های تصفیه الکتریکی مس است که حاوی عناصری از جمله طلا، نقره، عناصر گروه پلاتین، مس، سلنیم، سرب، آرسنیک و آنتیموان است که به عنوان منبع اصلی تولید سلنیم در دنیا و یکی از منابع مهم فلزات گرانبها به شمار می‌رود. تاکنون، به منظور بازیابی سلنیم از لجن آندی مس از روش‌های متعددی استفاده شده است که از این میان تشویه سولفاتی از جمله رایج‌ترین روش‌های صنعتی است. در این پژو...
