The aim of the study was to develop a process option for value addition leach residue from hydrometallurgical nickel refining. in question is copper-rich (58 %) with sulphur (23 %), (3 and iron (2 as other main constituents. prevailing phases are covellite antlerite already marketable product such. current suggests flow sheet moderate temperature autogenous pressure leach, selenium removal copp...

The rapid development of connected devices and wireless communication has enabled several researchers to study sensor networks propose methods algorithms improve their performance. Wireless (WSN) are composed nodes deployed collect transfer data base station (BS). Sensor node is considered as the main element in this field, characterized by minimal capacities storage, energy, computing. In cons...

This paper describes studies on the recovery of metals from spent hydro-processing catalyst using mixed acidophilic culture in presence of pyrite. This culture was initially grown in the 9K medium (absence of 9 g/L Fe(II)) where ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) was replaced by pyrite, and then applied in this bioleaching study. Bacterial action on pyrite catalysed the formation of ferric ion (Feþ3), pr...

A new energy aware routing protocol to optimize energy consumption and prolong network lifetime for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) had been proposed in this paper. Cluster based routing techniques like the conventional Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) are used to achieve scalable solutions and extend the network lifetime until the last node dies. Improved Energy Efficient LEACH...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an advanced technology and has been used widely in many applications such as health monitoring, environment monitoring, military purpose etc. Nature of this network is that they are often placed in an open environment and are susceptible to various attacks. Traditional cryptography methods are not supportable in WSNs as they have high energy and resource constra...
