the bulk of the world's phosphate reserves is located in sedimentary horizons that contain appreciable amounts of carbonate. during beneficiation of phosphate rocks, huge amounts of oversize phosphate rocks are rejected from crushers. this reject also mostly contains low tricalcium phosphate and high carbonate content. in this study, experiments have been carried out to reduce/eliminate carbona...

The aim of this work is to model the occurrence and intensity of calcium carbonate loss in calcareous forest soils under Mediterranean conditions. We have used 193 Spanish forest soils found on limestone parent material considered highly calcareous materials. This data set came from FOREDAF, a database containing 2200 complete soil profiles and all of them covered by forest stands (mainly domin...

The effect of mechanical activation on the kinetics of ammoniacal thiosulfate leaching of a refractory oxide gold ore containing 2.8 ppm Au was investigated. The gold extraction of 99.81% was achieved by 16 h leaching of a sample mechanically activated for 60 minutes. The gold extraction observed for a similar reference sample without mechanical activation was only 55%. Studies revealed that le...

The leached residue, generated after selective extraction of Cu, Ni and Co by reductive-roasting ammoniacal leaching of sea nodules, was characterized by various physicochemical methods. The finely divided residue, containing mainly manganese carbonate/silicates and manganese (III, IV) (hydr)oxides along with iron oxides, showed a lower surface area (66.3 m2 g(-1)) than that of the parent sea n...

Tiosulfat sebagai larutan pelindian emas pertama kali dipelajari pada tahun 1979 untuk menemukan alternatif sianida dan merkuri yang banyak digunakan dalam industri ekstraksi meskipun berdampak negatif bagi lingkungan. Sampel bijih adalah asli dari Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi Utara. Berdasarkan pengamatan Mikroskop Optik karakterisasi LIBS, terdapat senyawa pirit merupakan salah satu karakteris...
