A study of silica and iron recovery from the iron ore concentration tailing is presented. The residue is composed of 40.1% Fe, 33.4% SiO2, 8.31% Al2O3, 0.08% P, and 0.34% MnO. The developed process of silica and iron recovery consisted of size classification, magnetic separation, and removal of impurities by leaching. A concentration of SiO2 from 33.4% to 67.0%, with 60.0% of mass reduction, wa...

Mine tailings from an abandoned metal mine in Korea contained high concentrations of arsenic (As) and heavy metals [e.g., As: 67,336, Fe: 137,180, Cu: 764, Pb: 3,572, and Zn: 12,420 (mg/kg)]. US EPA method 6010 was an effective method for analyzing total arsenic and heavy metals concentrations. Arsenic in the mine tailings showed a high residual fraction of 89% by a sequential extraction. In To...

Young bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) containing root-absorbed (45)Ca and (86)Rb were leached to determine the pathway and mechanism of cation loss by leaching. Calcium is leached from the exchangeable calcium fraction within the plant by a process of ion exchange and diffusion involving exchange sites both within the leaf and on the leaf surface. Leaching of cations is primarily a passive pro...

In Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, about 31% of the produced amount of MSWI bottom ash is recycled as secondary raw material. In view of recycling a higher percentage of bottom ash, a particular bottom ash fraction (Ø 0.1-2mm) was studied. As the leaching of this bottom ash fraction exceeds some of the Flemish limit values for heavy metals (with Cu being the most critical), treatment is...

the recovery process of selenium from iranian sar-cheshmeh copper anode slimes employing hydrometallurgical methods has been investigated. the copper anode slimes are made up of those components of  the anodes, which are not soluble in the electrolyte. they contain varying quantities of precious metals like gold, silver, selenium and tellurium. they are being extracted as a by product in the co...

A large volume of waste mercury chloride catalyst (HgCl2) is generated by calcium carbide-based polyvinyl chloride production in China, which accounts for 30% of global mercury consumption. However, there are few studies on the leaching behavior and risk control of waste catalyst where mercury is in the form of HgCl2, which is more soluble than metal mercury and poses great threat to human heal...

Leaching characteristics of Cs from immobilized waste matrices in different cement-based grouts have been assessed to investigate the influence of the additives on the leaching behavior of the solid waste matrices. The International Atomic Energy’s Agency (IAEA) standard leach method has been employed to study the leach pattern of Cs radionuclide from the immobilized waste form. The examination...

In this paper, the extraction of vanadium from stone coal by roasting with MgO and leaching with sulfuric acid has been investigated, and the mechanism analysis of stone coal roasting with MgO was studied. The results indicated that under the conditions that the mass fraction of the particles with grain size of 0–0.074 mm in raw ore was 75%, the roasting temperature was 500 ◦C, the roasting tim...

Detailed studies on soil processes commonly involve the use of reconstructed soil columns (e.g. James & Riha, 1989; Liu et al., 1990; Smith et al., 1995). This approach reduces the inherent variability associated with field experiments, allows the simultaneous monitoring of solution and solid phases, and limits the interactive effects from concomitant processes. Sample pretreatment (airdrying, ...

Reduction of migration of fecal coliforms (FC) and streptococci (FS) by limiting the leaching in effluent-irrigated soil was tested in lysimeters packed with quartz sand without or with added biosolids compost or with one of two clayey soils. The 200-L, 70-cm-deep lysimeters were either planted with a Eucalyptus camaldulensis or an Oroblanco citrus tree (in the sand only), or not planted. The E...
