The influence of several parameters on removal of various impurities during vacuum flotation clarification of mixed juice has been investigated, and possible ways of dealing with the secondary precipitate obtained in this clarification process have been examined. Dispersed a~ir flotation clarification is described and the experience gained with this separation technique is recorded. Introductio...

Graphite ore collected from Hunan province, south China was characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy. Rougher and multi-stage flotation tests using a mechanical flotation cell and a flotation column containing an additional centrifugal force field were carried out to promote its grade and economic value. In rougher flotation, both the mechanical flotation ce...

The MA domain of the retroviral Gag protein mediates interactions with the plasma membrane, which is the site of productive virus release. HIV-1 MA has a phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P₂] binding pocket; depletion of this phospholipid from the plasma membrane compromises Gag membrane association and virus budding. We used multiple methods to examine the possible role of PI(4,5...

The influence of conditioning on the flotation of pyrrhotite in the presence of chlorite was investigated through flotation tests, sedimentation tests, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The flotation results show that chlorite slimes dramatically impair the flotation of pyrrhotite. Sedimentation and flotation tests reveal that conditioning can effectively remove chlorite slim...

he benefits of phosphate pretreatT ments for improving the resistance of ferrous and nonferrous metals to the onset and spread of corrosion is well known.'.2 Increased stress on quality of finishes, the need for process versatility, and stringency of specifications have led to modifications of conventional phosphating formulations and have prompted the need-based development of new baths. The i...

partially replace oil and natural gas as fuel sources. Of all the coal-cleaning pmesses, flotation is one. of the most versatile. Carbon dioxide coal flotation is a new technology developed at the University of Utah.(l) Compared with conventional flotation, carbon dioxide flotation enhances the ash rejection and increases flotation recovery for coals of different rank with the exception of lign...

An attempt has been made to beneficiate the Indian coking coal fines by a combination of Spiral, flotation and Oleo Flotation processes. Beneficiation studies were also carried out on 0.5mm coal fines using flotation and oleo flotation by splitting at size 0.063mm.Size fraction of 0.5mm-0.063mm and -0.063mm size were treated in flotation and Oleo flotation respectively. The washability studies ...
