In this work, we will confront the problem of source separation in the field of astrophysics, where the contributions of various Galactic and extra-Galactic components need to be separated from a set of observed noisy mixtures. Most of the previous work on the problem perform blind source separation, assume noiseless models, and in the few cases when noise is taken into account assume Gaussiani...

This study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (REE) recoveries from iron mine waste. The electron microprobe showed that high amoun...

The tasks of identifying separation structures and clusters in flow data are fundamental to flow visualization. Significant work has been devoted to these tasks in flow represented by vector fields, but there are unique challenges in addressing these tasks for time-varying particle data. The unstructured nature of particle data, nonuniform and sparse sampling, and the inability to access arbitr...

Separation of micro particle is an important issue in microfluidic devices. In this paper we present separation of 10 (um) and 15 (um) micro particles on one-step and multi-step insulator-Dielctrophorsis (iDEP) as numerically. For this purpose, Laplace and Navier-Stokes equations are solved with stationary-state. In following, particle trajectory was obtained with regarding dielectrophoresis an...

The response of Baban Tsauni (Nigeria) lead-gold ore to gravity separation methods was investigated in this research work. Value addition to run-off mines is always necessary in order to reduce downstream metal extraction costs. Gravity separation methods (the focus of this work) are the cheapest beneficiation methods. This study applied three gravity separation methods: jigging, multi-gravity ...

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...
