Recycling is a potential solution to narrow the gap between supply and demand of raw materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, efficient separation active components their recovery from battery waste remains challenge. This paper evaluates influence three routes liberation LIB (namely mechanical, thermomechanical, electrohydraulic fragmentation) on lithium metal oxides (LMOs) spheroi...

Due to its numerous and major industrial uses, graphite is one of the significant carbon allotropes. Refractories batteries are only a couple many uses for graphite. A growing market wants high-purity with big flakes. Since there fewer naturally occurring high-grade ores, low-grade ores must be processed increase their value meet rising demand, which predicted by >700% 2025 due adoption elec...

Sulfide lead resources are being depleted and the exploitation of carbonate lead deposits is now the main focus of lead mining. Cerussite, PbCO3, is majorly discarded to tailing damps because it is difficult to be processed by flotation in lead concentration units. This paper not only investigates the optimization of cerussite flotation, but it also proposes a model for predict...

Mintek, specialists in mineral and metallurgical technology, have developed advanced optimisation control strategies in milling, flotation and smelting. The strategies address process specific problems namely downstream flow disturbances in flotation circuits from open milling circuits, fluctuating grade and recovery of flotation circuits and furnace fault conditions including power trips and e...

As in many other microorganisms, the growth rate of C. tropicalis is affected by phenol. Besides, when the yeast is aerobically cultivated in a medium containing phenol, using a bubble column, the yeast cell flotation phenomenon occurs, which makes the continuous operation of this type of reactor difficult. Therefore, a system of phenol degradation, which recycles the biomass separated by flota...

Copper flotation waste is an industrial by-product material produced from the process of manufacturing copper. The main concern with respect to landfilling of copper flotation waste is the release of elements (e.g., salts and heavy metals) when in contact with water, that is, leaching. Copper flotation waste generally contains a significant amount of Cu together with trace elements of other tox...

In the search for utilization of unburned carbon from flyash, flotation has been considered by many as a possible method for reclaiming the carbon. Due to the ever-increasing need to minimize landfill materials and reutilize waste streams, NETL has reviewed flyash flotation techniques in an effort to develop a methodology for determining the floatability potential of the carbonaceous material. ...

The Swan-Ganz balloon flotation catheter was introduced in 1970. It can be placed at the bedside within a few minutes even in critically ill patients. Although placement of these catheters is not difficult, some training and experience are required to avoid complications and for proper interpretation of the hemodynamic data that can be obtained by pulmonary artery catheterization. Because of th...

Flotation is a common process in sulfide ore beneficiation. Due to the restrictions and lack of access to high-quality water sources for industrial purposes, recycled water plays an important role in the flotation processes. Due to the existence of various organic and inorganic substances in the process, water influences the flotation performance. In this work, the effect of accumulation of sul...
