The flotation behaviors of perovskite, titanaugite, and magnesium aluminate spinel (MA-spinel), using octyl hydroxamic acid (OHA) as the collector, were investigated using microflotation experiments, zeta-potential measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, and flotation experiments on artificially mixed minerals. The microflotati...

"Aluminium hydroxide dissolves in acids. From its solution in hydrochloric acid, an aluminlum salt, aluminium chloride A1C13, 6H20, is obtained. I t also combines with strong bases, dissolving for instance in a solution of sodium hydroxide and forming an aluminate, NaA102 . . . . According to the best knowledge we have on the subject, the molecule of aluminium hydroxide has the following struct...

Since the emergence of problem nuclear waste conditioning, cementation has become an important and developing part management system, owing to its simplicity versatility. The continued development technique is driven by improvement expansion cementitious materials that are suitable efficient for solidification. Advances in cement theory technology have significantly impacted improvements techno...

Ball milling has been shown to produce nanostructures in metal powders through severe repetitive deformation. Ball milling at cryogenic temperatures (cryomilling) is more effective in this capacity due to the low temperature by slowing recovery and minimizing diffusion distances between different components. Nanostructured metals are of interest because of their unique physical and mechanical p...

It is now well accepted and demonstrated that calcium silicate, calcium aluminate and calcium sulfo aluminate (ettringite, AFm) phases exhibit a good capability to fix metals and metalloids. Unfortunately the role of minor phases and especially calcium-ferric aluminate phase, shorthand C4AF is not well defined. In other systems like in soils or sediments iron phases play a key role in the fixat...
