A fast method for separation, preconcentration and determination of cadmium in drinking (source, well, tap) and water for irrigation is described. Iron(III) hexamethylenedithiocarbamate, Fe(HMDTC)3, has the role of colloid precipitate flotation collector. The determination of cadmium in final water solutions preconcentrated by flotation can be performed by flame (FAAS) or electrothermal atomic ...

A dispersed-ozone flotation (DOF) separator was devised for a pilot study of tertiary wastewater treatment for re-use purposes. As a compact device combining coagulation, ozonation and flotation in an integrated unit, the DOF separator achieved a very high removal of SS, TOC, UV254 and colour, as well as effective inactivation of coliform and total bacteria within a short hydraulic retention ti...

Exploring new ways to acquire niobium resources is essential resolve supply risks, due the fact that, at present, 99% of controlled by only two countries. In present work, a flotation technique was applied separate from low-grade niobite ore. To maximize utilization original ore resources, pre-flotation conducted recover sulfur and eliminate adverse effects sulfide on flotation. The obtained gr...

at the present time, flotation is the primary method for copper minerals separation from copper ores. the main copper ores that is extracted in the world is sulphide ore. the sulphide minerals are floated readily by using sulphydryl collectors. in the case of using xanthates , which are among the sulphydryl collectors, used more in the flotation of sulphide minerals of copper, the flotation of ...

a high percentage of world copper production is obtained from porphyry copper reserves, these reserves are characterized by: very high tonnage, greater horizontal dimensions than vertical, association with stock like intrusion masses, dispersed minerals in the porphyry mass and in its neighbor rocks, intense sericitization and inplace silicification. the porphyry coppers are concentrated by flo...

different samples have been prepared from different products in chadormalu iron ore concentrator plant: low intensity magnetite separators concentrate (magnetite concentrate), reverse flotation tail (final hematite concentrate), flotation concentrate (apatite concentrate), final tail (l.i.m.s. tail + reverse flotation concentrate+ apatite flotation tail). the samples were used for rare earth el...

The lead and zinc sample from Goosh-e-Fill mine with 2.4%Pb, 8.0%Zn and 10.0% Fe, was used in different flotation experiments to recover lead and zinc minerals. The valuable minerals in prepared sample were oxidized and the results showed that the lead minerals floated at pH= 9.5 and 11.5, probably it can be due to existence of two or more types of lead minerals. The best result was achieved fo...

Carrier flotation is a technique that can recover fine particles by using coarse carrier during the process. In heterogeneous flotation, mineral of different minerals are used as carriers to particles. By Cu2+-treated pyrite carriers, chalcopyrite recovery could be improved. However, disadvantage this it requires post-flotation separation process improve grade final Cu concentrate. This study t...

Copper smelter slag and copper smelter slag flotation tailings were leached using sulphuric acid solutions, without or with the addition of either ferric sulphate or hydrogen peroxide. Copper extraction from the slag was typically found to be twice as high as that from the slag flotation tailings. Hydrogen peroxide was determined to be the best lixiviant. Thus, copper and iron extractions were ...

Morphological changes in anaerobic granular sludge fed with increasing loads of oleic acid were quantified by image analysis. The combination of this technique with data on the accumulation of adsorbed long chain fatty acid give insight into the mechanisms of sludge disintegration, flotation and washout The molecular characterization of microbial community indicated that the bacterial domain wa...
