Tetrathionates have been found in significantly high concentrations recycled process waters from massive sulphide ore processing plants. These polythionates react with xanthate added to flotation pulps thus reducing dosages solution potentially affecting performance. The current study focused on the effect of tetrathionate-xanthate reaction mineral recoveries. Ore dissolution studies confirmed ...

The article presents the results of laboratory studies on ore flotation copper-molybdenum deposits in East Kazakhstan region using a combined reagent. It is required to use new beneficiation methods and reagents increase efficiency minerals improve processing finely disseminated ores. problem can be solved by combination different collectors. objective research recovery copper molybdenum during...

BACKGROUND Some strains of Bacillus licheniformis have been improved by target-directed screening as well as by classical genetic manipulation and used in commercial thermostable alpha-amylase and alkaline protease production for over 40 years. Further improvements in production of these enzymes are desirable. RESULTS A new strain of B. licheniformis CBBD302 carrying a recombinant plasmid pHY...

Xanthic acids have long been known to act as reducing agents. Recently, D609, a tricyclodecanol derivative of xanthic acid, has been reported to have anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties that are attributed to specific inhibition of phosphatidyl choline phospholipase C (PC-PLC). However, because oxidative stress is involved in both of these cellular responses, the possibility that xa...

In this study we report the potential of alcohols as morphogenetic regulators in Candida albicans. All the alcohols tested influenced various modes of growth like planktonic as well as biofilm forms. Viability was affected at high concentrations. Among the alcohols, the response of C. albicans to amyl alcohol (pentanol) was noteworthy. Amyl alcohol at a concentration 0.5% which was not inhibito...

We describe a reliable gas-chromatographic analysis for unchanged phencyclidine in human plasma, with use of a nitrogen detector. The assay is sufficiently sensitive to permit measurement of as little as 5 microgram of the drug per liter, in 2 mL of plasma. Phencyclidine is extracted from plasma at pH 10.5 into hexane/iso-amyl alcohol containing meperidine as the internal standard, back-extrac...

The major problem with Carlin-type gold deposit flotation is that the high dolomite content in concentrate decreases quality of gold. Further, activation mechanisms involved are still not fully understood. Herein, correlation Fe2+ conversion xanthate adsorption and was investigated to reveal effect embedded pyrite. Flotation tests suggested rather than Fe3+ improved floatability from 20% 45%. C...

In this paper, we attempt to provide theoretical investigation to debt roll-over crisis in government bond market. By using the global game techniques, we analyse coordination problem in debt auction. The approach in this paper allows us to have insight on the relation between occurrence of sovereign debt roll-over crisis and the fundamentals of economy which is not clearly explained in precedi...
