Oleate flotation characteristics of hematite have been investigated in thjs study under a wide range of experimental conditions of pH, temperature, ionic strength and collector concentration. The study revealed the following major features of this system which include: (a) a maximum in floatability in the neutral pH range; (b) an increase in the flotation response of hematite with increase eith...

Industrial wastewater contains a lot of pollutants and therefore needs special treatment processes. The treatment process may contain mechanical, biological, chemical, physical and physiochemical such as Coagulation – Flocculation process. The goal of this experimental work was to investigate the effects of coagulationflocculation and dissolved air flotation as a hybrid process of industrial wa...

Froth floatation is an important process used in the mining industry for separating minerals from each other. The separation process is based on rendering a selected mineral hydrophobic using an appropriate hydrophobizing reagent (collector), so that it can selectively attach onto the surfaces of a rising stream of air bubbles. Thus, controlling the hydrophobicity of the minerals to be separate...

in this study, deinkability of old newspaper by conventional method and the effect of washing, flotation and combined washing/flotation processes were investigated on optical and superficial properties of the produced papers. the results from measuring of the optical and superficial properties indicated that using chemical treatment time of 20 minute and one stage washing resulted the papers wi...

Soil transmitted helminths are parasitic groups of worms that live in countries with subtropical or tropical climates. In humans, when exposed to eggs larvae, they can cause infection. Stool examination is divided into qualitative and quantitative examination. Qualitative direct examination, flotation, tape, deposition, thick preparations. Kato-Katz Stoll quantitative. The purpose this study wa...

A simple, rapid and economic procedure was presented to remove lead(II) from aqueous solution under the optimized conditions. It is based on the sorption of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutions onto limestone fines (LS), which is an inexpensive and widespread over the globe, followed by flotation with oleic acid (HOL) surfactant. The different parameters (namely: solution pH, sorbent...

The main aim of this experimental work was to develop a separation process using micro- bubbles less than 100 µm in diameter. Micro-agglomerates were produced using 10kg crude oil/tone feed coal treated compared to 250 kg/tone feed coal treated for conventional spherical oil agglomeration. These micro-agglomerates were separated from the unagglomerated minerals by micro-bubble flotation. Colloi...

Of several problems associated with theoretical explanations of the jokul­ hlaups which emerge from the outlet glacier Skeioararj okull of the ice c ap Vatnajokull i n southeast Iceland, the mechanism of flood ini ti atio n i s one that has h itherto defied explanation. We provide such an explanation based on a careful analysis of the classical Nye-Rothlisberger model; near the subglacial lake ...

The synergetic effect of four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes (TX) on low temperature flotation of scheelite at 9–11 ◦C was investigated through flotation experiments, and the adsorption mechanism was studied by way of surface tension, zeta potential, and adsorption measurement. The results show that the presence of the four octaphenyl polyoxyethyienes can improve scheelite flotation in a low conce...
