Flotation using cationic surfactants has been investigated as a rapid separation technique to dewater clinoptilolite ion exchange resins, for the decontamination of radioactive cesium ions (Cs+) from nuclear waste effluent. Initial kinetic and equilibrium adsorption studies cesium, suggested large surface area volume ratio fine zeolite contributed fast kinetics high capacities (qc = 158.3 mg/g)...

Despite the importance of solid concentration in froth flotation, its effect on flotation kinetics and entrainment has rarely been studied. In this study, quartz hematite single-mineral systems as a function particle size were investigated using dodecylamine acetate collector. Kinetics modeling showed that Gamma distribution achieved best agreement with experimental data, whereas Classical Klim...

Due to its numerous and major industrial uses, graphite is one of the significant carbon allotropes. Refractories batteries are only a couple many uses for graphite. A growing market wants high-purity with big flakes. Since there fewer naturally occurring high-grade ores, low-grade ores must be processed increase their value meet rising demand, which predicted by >700% 2025 due adoption elec...

This work investigates the comprehensive recycling of graphite and cathode active materials (LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2, abbreviated as NMC) from spent lithium-ion batteries via pretreatment flotation. Specific analytical methods (SPME-GC-MS Py-GC-MS) were utilized to identify trace relevant influencing factors. Two different methods, which are Fenton oxidation roasting, investigated with respect thei...
