The effect of heat-dispersing on sticky substances in a deinking pulping line was studied under different conditions including varying temperature, disc clearance, and pulp consistency. Sticky substances were quantitatively investigated before and after the heat-dispersing, and categorized into macro-, mini-, and micro-stickies as well as dissolved and colloidal substances. Meanwhile, their ext...

An accurate, fast, and simple method for determination of thallium in environmental water samples with Zeeman electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ZETAAS) by previous flotation preconcentration is given. The possibility of using cobalt(III) hexamethylenedithiocarbamate as a colloidal precipitate collector for simultaneous flotation separation of Tl(I) and Tl(III) from water matrices w...

In this paper the control performance of the flotation process is evaluated as a function of the measurement accuracy and sampling frequency of an on-stream analyzer. First, the performance of rule-based control and model predictive control (MPC) strategies is studied using discrete flotation models and the respective performance indices. Next, the net smelter return (NSR) is calculated for var...

OBJECTIVES To describe the types and circumstances of traumatic work related fatalities in Australian commercial fishermen. METHODS Work related traumatic fishing fatalities were studied as part of a larger study of all work related traumatic fatalities in Australia from 1982 to 1984. Data on 47 cases were obtained from inspection of coroners' files. RESULTS The incidence of fatality of 143...

Clinical isolates from protozoan parasites such as Giardia lamblia are at present practically impossible to culture. By using simple cyst purification methods, we show that Giardia whole genome sequencing of clinical stool samples is possible. Immunomagnetic separation after sucrose gradient flotation gave superior results compared to sucrose gradient flotation alone. The method enables detaile...

Flotation is, doubtless, the most important process among the various techniques used for the treatment of ore. This generalpurpose technique allows the treatment of several complex ores (lead zinc, copper zinc), sulphides (copper, lead, and zinc), oxides (hematite, quartz), oxidized minerals (malachite, cerusite) and even non-metal ores (fluorite, phosphate, coal). Due to the flotation, it is ...

abstractthe purpose of this study was to investigate the controllable operating parameters influence, including ph, solid content, collector, co-collector, and depressant dose, and conditioning time, on apatite flotation kinetics. four first order flotation kinetic models are tested on batch flotation time-recovery profiles. the results of batch flotation tests and the fitting of first-order ki...

in order to decrease the discharge from sulfide mine flotation plants, treatment and reuse approaches based on our previous wastewater monitoring experiments were explored in these plants. the flotation wastewater was collected from the case plant and was treated with coagulation sedimentation and activated carbon adsorption. then, the effluent was examined for reuse in the flotation process. f...

This chapter describes basic parameters, such as surface forces and film elasticity, affecting the stability of foams (two-phase froths). I used the thin film pressure balance (TFPB) technique to measure the surface forces in foam films stabilized with various frothers such as pentanol, octanol, methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC), and polypropylene glycol (PPG). The results were compared with the ...
