Leaching is an unavoidable phenomenon associated with the pesticide applications. Leaching of pesticide does not only indicate the efficiency of a pesticide molecule, but also degree of the environmental contamination. Leaching is the process by which a pesticide molecule enters the soil-water ecosystem. Hence, to access the leaching behavior of a pesticide molecule, various models are used glo...

however, the conventional gold recovery process is cyanidation, due to the recent environmental laws; researchers are looking for alternative methods for the recovery of gold. furthermore, the copper anode slime is one of the most important secondary sources of gold (about 1200 ppm). so, the main objective of the current work is gold separation from copper anode slime as a rich secondary source...

The effluent treatment plant sludge is one of the major sources of contamination with toxic metals. Since the sludge contains heavy metals, it must be pretreated to reduce the contamination. The heavy metals from the sludge can be reduced/ separated by washing it with a suitable leaching solution. In the present study, the efficiencies of three leaching solutions to remove the contaminants from...

This study focused on the leaching process for the recycling of Li, Ni, Co, and Mn from the LiNixCoyMnzO2 (NCM) cathodes of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Eh–pH diagrams were used to analyze suitable leaching conditions. Operating variables, such as the concentration of H2SO4 (0.5–2.5 M), concentration of H2O2 (0–1 vol%), temperature (10–50 °C), stirring speed (400–800 rpm), and solid/liqu...

Accurate assessment of the fate of salts, nutrients, and pollutants in natural, heterogeneous soils requires a proper quantification of both spatial and temporal solute spreading during solute movement. The number of experiments with multisampler devices that measure solute leaching as a function of space and time is increasing. The breakthrough curve (BTC) can characterize the temporal aspect ...

Vanadium recovery of Thermal Power Plant Ash (TPPA) is an attractive process which simultaneously satisfies the pollution control standards regarding TPPA disposal and provides a valuable source of vanadium for industrial demands. In the present research work, sulfuric acid leaching route has been employed for vanadium recovery from an Iranian TPPA. Effects of acid concentration, temperature, a...

in present investigation the biological leaching of aluminum by isolated fungi from red mud, the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of al from bauxite was studied. biological leaching experiments were carried out using indigenous, date and orange specimen fungi, aspergillus niger, penicillium simplicissimum notatum. savored dextrose chloramphenicol agar (sda) was used as medium for t...

The leaching kinetics of a low-grade zinc oxide ore in different acid media was investigated with respect to the experimental variables including acid concentration, temperature, liquid to solid (L/S) ratio, and stirring speed. The results obtained showed that the leaching reagent concentration and the reaction temperature exerted significant effects on the extraction of zinc, whereas the L/S r...
