Integrated field studies on environmental levels, bioavailability, biological exposure, and effects SUMMARY Iron-ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries. Almost all (98%) iron-ore is used in steelmaking. Australia and Brazil together dominate the world's iron-ore production, while China is the world's largest iron-ore consumer. In Brazil, iron-ore mining is m...

An Order-Revealing Encryption (ORE) scheme gives a public procedure by which two ciphertext can be compared to reveal the order of their underlying plaintexts. The ideal security notion for ORE is that only the order is revealed — anything else, such as the distance between plaintexts, is hidden. The only known constructions of ORE achieving such ideal security are based on cryptographic multil...

Nome placer offshore gold grade estimation is a challenging problem in light of extreme ore heterogeneity. However, this type of phenomenon is quite common in placer ore grade variation. Further, the characterization of spatial ore grade variability and subsequent ore grade modelling of the deposit becomes problematic due to the unavailability of adequate samples. Being located in the Arctic, t...

The present research paper deals with the oxidation process of molybdenum ore. The main target of the present study is the up-gradation of MoO3 from roasted molybdenum ore by a leaching process without waste generation. The most important application of hydrometallurgical processing is the leaching process of the ore and it is the primary process to make pure metal from ore. The present investi...

A typical South Crofty ore containing minor amounts of arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite (ore A) gives 65% overall recovery of cassiterite in the spiral circuit, overall enrichment ratios being about 25-35. Maximum recovery occurs in the size range 53-110 /Lm(Fig. 2). However, recently treated ore types (ore B) have been much richer in sulphides, yielding up to 30°" As in the recleaner table concen...

Today, during the life of an open pit mine, million tons of materials, including waste and ore, are displacing by truck fleets. In the case of a shallow ore deposit, which is located up to 300 meters to the ground surface, depending on preliminary equipment size and capacity, it will take three to five years to remove overburden and waste rocks to expose the ore body. In that period, the main w...

Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain L19, isolated from stone coal soil, has the ability to perform bioleaching to release vanadium ions from mineral ore. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of the vanadium-leaching bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis L19. These data provide information for understanding the genomic properties and mineral bioleaching mechanisms of strain L19.

In this paper, iron ore sample from the Chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. Chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in Iran, which is located in Yazd province. The representative ore sample contained 57%Fe, 0.9%P and 0.17%S. The sample was crushed; afterward, it was ground in various grinding times according to the Bond Ball mill approach to spec...
