kinetics of the chemical leaching of chalcocite from a low-grade copper ore in a ferric sulfate medium was investigated using the constrained least square optimization technique. the experiments were carried out for different particle sizes in both the reactor and column at constant eh, ph, and temperature. the leaching rate increased with increase in the temperature. about 50% of the cu recove...

the direct sulfation of three high purity iranian limestones and one precipitated calcium carbonate from different sources, containing more than 97 % caco3, were studied in a specially designed fixed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure, in the presence of excess co2 to prevent decomposition of caco3. experiments were carried out over a range of particle sizes from 1.6-2.5  mm at four tempera...

In the present work, the extraction of zinc from a sphalerite concentrate using sodium nitrate as an oxidant in a sulfuric acid solution was investigated. The effective parameters such as the temperature, sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite concentrations, stirring speed, particle size, and solid/liquid (S/L) ratio were analyzed. The dissolution rate increased with increase in the sulfuric acid an...

gasification is a well-known reaction owing to its relevance to generation of sustainable energyfrom biomass and development of porous carbons. the present paper attempts to experimentally investigate the kinetics of palm shell char gasification using carbon dioxide (co2) in a controlled environment using thermo gravimetric analyzer (tga) at temperatures ranging from 800 to1000°c. a relevant ki...

The size reduction of municipal solid waste (MSW) particles on the reverse acting traveling grate of a waste-to-energy (WTE) combustion chamber was estimated by means of a numerical model combining the particle size distributions (PSD) of MSW and combustion residues and the Shrinking Core Model (SCM). This new integrated model was used to simulate the particle behavior on the grate. During thei...

The astronomical increase in global energy demand makes locating energy sources other than fossil fuels worthwhile. The use of tropical biomass wood waste as a renewable energy source was investigated in this study. The thermal conversion analysis of Albizia gummifera (ayinre) was carried out in a thermobalance reactor via steam gasification under varying temperature (700 to 1000 °C) and steam ...

Software configuration management (SCM) is the discipline of controlling the evolution of large and complex software systems. Many tools and systems for SCM have been developed which are based on a variety of different version models. Usually, an SCM application is a single software system whose underlying architecture is implicitly defined by its implementation. MOD2-SCM, instead, is a modular...
