In pursuit of carbon neutrality, the demand for metals that are necessary development clean energy technologies is rapidly increasing. Metallurgical waste, such as slag, presents a promising secondary source these key metals. This research aims to develop an eco-friendly hydrometallurgical process recover Cu, Ni, and Co from discarded copper/nickel slag. High-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) was u...

An accurate and rapid radiochemical method has been developed for the determination of microgram amount of silver employing potassium ethyl xanthate as a substoichiometric radiochemical reagent. The light yellow coloured silver ethyl xanthate formed was extracted into nitrobenzene from sulphuric acid media. The effect of foreign ions on the extraction was studied. The method was applied to the ...

The purpose of this study is to propose the flotation procedure seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) ores separate chalcopyrite and galena as froth sphalerite, pyrite, other gangue minerals tailings, which currently facing difficulties due presence water-soluble compounds. obtained SMS ore sample contains CuFeS2, ZnS, FeS2, SiO2, BaSO4 in addition PbS PbSO4 Pb minerals. Soluble compounds releasing Pb...

In this work, adsorption of the potassium amyl xanthate collector on the pure chalcopyrite surface was studied by applying atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adsorption experiments were carried out at different concentrations of the collector and at diverse pH values in the presence or absence of exterior ions. The changes occurring in the surface morphology of chalcopyrite due to the collector...

The hydrophobic flocculation of galena fines induced by potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) in aqueous suspensions has been studied using laser diffraction, electrophoretic light scattering, contact angle, and microflotation measurements. The measurements were performed on <2 µm, 2-5 µm, 5-10 µm, and <30 µm size galena by varying several parameters, including PAX concentration, pH, original particle ...

By developing technologies, spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are considered a great source of nickel-cobalt ions to fabricate metal sulfide nanoparticles. However, the presence unnecessary such as manganese and lithium may hamper formation pure nanostructures where utilization proper ligand(s) can be very critical. For this reason, present study initially introduces promising cost-effective a...

Modeling surface adsorption requires systems of hundreds of atoms. To model such systems at an ab initio level successfully, we need to avoid traditional quantum chemical methods. In the present work we have shown that density functional theory is a powerful modeling tool for large chemical systems especially in combinations with pseudopotentials This is validated by an initial study of ethyl a...

in this study an easy, green, efficient and simple approach is reported for the synthesis of some benzothiazole-, benzimidazole- and benzoxazole-2-thiolderivatives. the proposed approach employs the reaction of corresponding aromatic amine with potassium isopropyl xanthate (z11) in the presence of copper sulfate (cuso4) as a catalyst under conventional heating and ultrasonic irradiation. the ad...
