in this study, the possibility of producing coal with less than 11% ash from tailings of flotation process was investigated. the effect of six flotation parameters: collector type, collector consumption, frother type, frother consumption, pulp density and mixing rate were studied on a sample from a tailing dam. a software based experimental design approach (dx7) was applied to determine and mod...

Blends of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/high density polyethylene (NBR/HDPE) compatibilized by Chloroprene rubber (CR) were prepared. A fixed quantity of industrial waste such as marble waste (MW, 40 phr) was also included. The effect of the blend ratio and CR on cure characteristics, mechanical and swelling properties of MW-filled NBR/HDPE blends was investigated. The results showed that the ...

Froth flotation is an operation currently used for the recovery of Cu from pyrometallurgical smelting slags due its simple and relatively low operational costs. While it has been utilized many decades, may be necessary to develop strategies that improve slags, as unprecedented increase in demand made industrial waste side streams economically relevant sources metals. This study presents a novel...

In this study, a melt-compounding process was used to produce ordinary polypropylene (PP)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blends and modified impact-resistant polypropylene (MPP)/TPU blends. The influences of TPU on the blending morphology, melting behavior, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of these blends were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry results show tha...

Thermal analysis (DSC: Differential Scanning Calorimetry and TGA: Thermogravimetric Analysis) of SEBS blends have been studied in this paper. SEBS blends were made using two transparent SEBS commercial grades with extreme hardness values. The first thermal property determined in SEBS blends was the evaluation of the thermal degradation at high temperatures (DSC). Another thermal property of the...

A test-rig closed-loop flotation column was used to observe the effect of diesel oil (collector) and Flomin F-425 (frother) on mass yield ash content for two Colombian coals: Caypa (northern zone) Guachinte (southwestern zone). The coal samples less than 38 µm (-400 M) were processed in a collector concentration range 0,32 1,60 kg/ton coal, as well frother 10 50 ppm. response surface methodolog...

High impact polystyrene (HIPS)/corn starch blends were prepared in presence of glycerol as a plasticizer via melt extrusion process by a twin-screw extruder. The novelty of this work is first, because of the use of pre-gelatinized corn starch as modified one and second, the procedure of making blends by extruder which makes it ease of access and also industrially possible. The blends were then ...

Investigations were carried out on coal tailings by conventional cell and column flotation techniques. Tests were conducted to assess processing coal tailings of Alborz Markazi coal washing plant in Iran by column flotation. The effects of reagent type/dosage were investigated with conventional flotation and their results were used in the performance of column flotation. Also the effects of the...

the effects of unleaded gasoline and unleaded gasoline–ethanol blends on engine performance and pollutant emissions were investigated experimentally in a single cylinder, four-stroke spark-ignition engine with variable engine speeds (2600–3500 rpm). four different blends on a volume basis were applied. these are e0 (0% ethanol + 100% unleaded gasoline), e3 (3% ethanol + 97% unleaded gasoline), ...

In order to enhance the compatibilization and interfacial adhesion between epoxy and liquid carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) rubber, an initiator was introduced into the mixture and heated to initiate the cross-linking reaction of CTBN. After the addition of curing agents, the CTBN/epoxy blends with a localized interpenetrating network structure were prepared. The mechanical p...
