Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) is employed in the sulfide ore flotation process due to its excellent collection performance. Herein, we investigated interfacial adsorption behavior of DDTC on four main mineral phases high-sulfur residue: sulfur, pyrite, sphalerite, and lead sulfate. The H2O, namely, structure energy electron localization function cross section, were explored using density theory...

The process of wine making is well known to produce large amounts wastewater with highly variable characteristics. disposal untreated winery strictly prohibited since it adversely affects the recipient environment. Due variability in characteristics wastewater, developing a treatment system which can handle high organic and inorganic loads, especially during vintage season, complex challenge. T...

Water, soil, vegetation, grasshoppers, bird eggs, and bird livers collected at a 23.5-ha (58 acres) grassland irrigated with wastewater from an in situ uranium mine (study area) and a reference site in 1998 were analyzed for selenium and other trace elements. Selenium concentrations in the uranium mine wastewater applied onto the grassland ranged from 340 to 450 microg/L. Selenium in the upper ...

An environmentally friendly sulfide sensor based on the room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of the ZnO/SiO(2) nanocomposite has been developed. The ZnO/SiO(2) nanocomposite prepared by the sol-gel route produces highly emissive broadband RTP which can be clearly observed by the naked eye. The phosphorescence intensity monitored at 460 nm (excitation at 320 nm) decreases with increasing sulfi...

Metal adsorption and surface charge determinations were performed previously on well-characterised Sphagnum and Carex peat samples. The aim of this investigation was to determine metal adsorption from complex wastewaters onto these peat samples and compare it to the adsorption onto peat granules, clinoptilolite, glauconite and a flue dust from steel production. A sulphide mine leachate, a landf...
