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...

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have sparked growing interest in biosurfactants from many surfactant-loaded industries including those utilizing froth flotation for mineral separation. However, the interaction of with surfaces is currently poorly understood. We bridge this gap by studying adsorption a yeast-derived bola acidic sophorolipid (ASL) biosurfactant on djurleite (Cu1...

Increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries has led to the development of several new lithium mineral projects around globe. Some major processing challenges these face are similarities in gangue and value behaviour poor selectivity froth flotation. Unsaturated anionic fatty acids primary spodumene flotation collectors, known be strong collectors with solubility selectivity. Fundamental researc...

Ultracentrifugation for determination of isotropic concentrations of fatty acids is widely used. However, several artifacts, which would affect the isotropic concentration, could occur if care is not taken. These include sedimentation of micelles, incomplete flotation of unsolubilized oil, and uptake of labeled fatty acid by the walls of centrifuge tubes. The first artifact can be overcome by s...

In this study, ammonium phosphate ((NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>) was employed to realize improvement by modifying the physical characteristics of malachite surface, ensuring sustainable flotation throughout operations, and enhancing process be more stable. Furthermore, various techniques, including X−ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were intensel...

Today scientists are producing large volumes of data that they wish to explore and visualize. In this paper we describe a system that combines range-based queries with fast lookup to allow a scientist to quickly and efficiently ask “what if?” questions. Unique to our system is the ability to perform “cumulative queries” that work on both an intraand inter-time step basis. The results of such qu...

Lithium-bearing polymetallic pegmatite ores are an important raw material for lithium extraction. They contain not only but also other associated elements such as beryllium, tantalum, and niobium, with great recovery values. It is therefore often called lithium-bearing ore (LPPO). The utilization of Be-bearing minerals in LPPOs have yet to be further studied. This paper briefly expounds the geo...

Transition metal ions in industrial effluent discharge are of great threat to the environment. Several conventional treatment technologies viz., ion exchange, membrane separation, ultra-filtration, ion flotation, electro-coagulation, electrodialysis, sedimentation and reverse osmosis have been employed. However these methods involve high operating cost and produce large volume of toxic chemical...

Facebook has established itself as one of the major players in social networking, claiming that it helps members connect and share with the people in their lives. But what if the people you want to connect and share with are your artistic collaborators? Can Facebook be used creatively, as a collaborative artistic environment? This paper explores the creative use of Facebook as a tool for creati...
