چکیده مقاله:

An efficient method was employed for the ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen using column flotation process. The bitumen samples containing 9.6% sulphur (6.81% in the pyrite sulphur form) and 26.4% ash were successfully showed up to 75.20% of pyrite sulphur (e.g.; 51.66% of total sulphur) and 70.81% of ash removal. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was employed to design the experiments, to optimize and evaluate the individual and interactive effects of six effective independent factors: the amounts of collector and frother agents, solid weight percentage in the pulp, particle size, wash water rate and feed rate. In order to investigate system a laboratory scale rig was built. In all experiments, pine oil and kerosene were considered as frother and collector agents, respectively. The best result for column flotation process were amount of collector (1.5 kg/tbitumen), amount of frother (0.3 ppm), pulp content (10% of solid), particle size (100 mesh), wash water rate (0.4 L/min), feed rate (1.5 L/min) and flotation time (10 min). The coefficient of determination, R2, showed that the RSM model can specify the variations with the accuracy of 0.924 and 0.938 for the percentage of ash and pyrite sulphur removal from bitumen, respectively.

Removal of unburned carbon from municipal solid waste fly ash by column flotation.

Unburned carbon (UC) is the major source of organic contaminants in municipal solid waste (MSW) fly ash. So most organic contaminants can be removed by the removal of the UC from the MSW fly ash. In this paper, we first used a technique of column flotation to remove UC from MSW fly ash. The influences of column flotation parameters on the recovery efficiency of UC were systematically studied. I...

Multi-Stage Flotation for the Removal of Ash from Fine Graphite Using Mechanical and Centrifugal Forces

Graphite ore collected from Hunan province, south China was characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy. Rougher and multi-stage flotation tests using a mechanical flotation cell and a flotation column containing an additional centrifugal force field were carried out to promote its grade and economic value. In rougher flotation, both the mechanical flotation ce...

In this study, a combined electro-(Fenton/coagulation/flotation) (EF/EC/El) process was studied via degradation of Disperse Orange 25 (DO25) organic dye as a case study. Influences of seven operational parameters on the dye removal efficiency (DR%) were measured: initial pH of the solution (pH0), applied voltage between the anode and cathode (V), initial ferrous ion concentration (CFe), initial...
