The shrinking generator is a keystream generator which is good for stream ciphers in wireless mobile communications, because it has simple structure and generates a keystream faster than other generators. Nevertheless, it has a serious disadvantage that its keystream is not balanced if they use primitive polynomials as their feedback polynomials. In this paper, we present a method to construct ...

This study investigated the optimum conditions for the leaching of manganese-rich iron ore for subsequent beneficiation studies in laboratory scale. The experiments were carried out by varying the concentration of H2 SO4 solution and the leaching temperature. The properties of the iron ore was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)...

A study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent Car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. The physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X–ray diffraction (XRD).The effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...

Platinum extraction from different secondary sources has been experimentally tested by many researchers. In this article, dissolution of platinum in aqua-regia solution from two types of spent catalysts (reforming and nitric acid production) was kinetically studied. A variety of kinetic models for heterogeneous solid-liquid reactions, including homogeneous diffusion model, shrinking core model,...

Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in excess to the st...

The leaching kinetics of smithsonite ore in acetic acid solutions, an environmental friend, and natural reagent was investigated. The influence of parameters such as reaction temperature, particle size, solid-liquid ratio and acid concentration was studied in order to reveal the leaching kinetics of smithsonite ore. In this study, experimental and statistical methods were carried out in order t...

The main objective of this work was to assess the optimization of Fe and Cu bioleaching from converter slag using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Important parameters that contribute to the bioleaching process include initial pH, initial Fe2+ concentration and pulp density. In order to optimize these parameters, the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied. The maximum...

We provide a detailed description of solutions of Curve Shortening in Rn that are invariant under some one-parameter symmetry group of the equation, paying particular attention to geometric properties of the curves, and the asymptotic properties of their ends. We find generalized helices, and a connection with curve shortening on the unit sphere Sn−1. Expanding rotating solitons turn out to be ...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of metal ions from Lithium batteries with weak organic acids is reported. Leaching reached ?98% Li and Co recovery due to improved residue layer diffusion mass transfer, illustrated by the shrinking core model.

This paper presents a new type of distinguisher for the shrinking generator and the alternating-step generator with known feedback polynomial and for the multiplexor generator. For the former the distinguisher is more efficient than existing ones and for the latter it results in a complete breakdown of security. The distinguisher is conceptually very simple and lends itself to theoretical analy...
