A possible mechanism of the formation of spongy zinc electrodeposits is considered. The confirmation of the proposed semiquantitative mathematical model is performed in zinc electrodeposition onto copper wire from a 0.1 M zincate solution in 1.0 M KOH at room temperature. It was shown by SEM analysis of the deposit that the spongy growth was caused by mass transfer limitations under low nucleat...

The Poplar copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit, 50 kilometres south-southwest of Houston, is centred near 54 degrees 01 minute north and 126 degrees 50 minutes west. The property is accessible from Houston via 80 kilometres of forest access roads along the Morice River, Owen Lake, Tahtsa Reach, and Poplar Lake. The deposit is situated on the northeast shore of Tagetochlain (Poplar) Lake in an ar...

The biosorption process of a lypophilised cell suspension of Aspergillus niger was studied for selenite ( − 2 3 SeO ) removal from acid mine drainage in the Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine. The biomass was first characterised by the potentiometric titration, and the major ionic content was evaluated. The experimental data suggest that the biomass cell wall contains two main acidic groups with ...
