Mineral oil (or Hydrocarbon oil) in water samples is determined by liquid-liquid extraction, followed by a clean-up step on Florisil, and GC-FID analysis. Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench system, drying and clean-up of samples obtained after liquid-liquid extraction can be automated. High recoveries and excellent reproducibility are obtained for the mineral oil fraction, while the ...

effect of concentration parameters on recovery of zinc oxidized minerals from lead flotation tailings of dandy mineral processing plant in north-western iran was studied. a sulfidization-flotation method has been used on a laboratory scale to investigate the effect of various reagents such as sodium sulfide as sulfidizing agent, primary amine as collector, dispersants and flocculants with diffe...

This review describes the historical development and current state of metals leaching and sulfide mineral biooxidation by the minerals industries. During the past 20 years commercial processes employing microorganisms for mineral recovery have progressed from rather uncontrolled copper dump leaching to mineral oxidation and leaching in designed bioheaps for oxidation of refractory gold ores and...

The associated mineral ore accompanying Valuable Metal Compounds (VMC) have been usually treated in a smelting furnace ,such as Blast Furnace, Reverberatory, Blowing Furnace, hence the VMC were mostly concentrated into the molten associated slags and separated from liquid metals. So the associated slags become an important man-made resources (Table I), in which the VMC exist dispersively in var...

We studied the effects of various oils used to trap sand flies on the recovery of virus from infected adult Phlebotomus papatasi. Both Rift Valley fever and sandfly fever Sicilian viruses were readily recovered from virus-inoculated specimens held at 26 degrees C on mineral, olive or castor oil-soaked sheets for up to 12 h. However, after 50 h on oil-soaked paper, significantly greater titers w...

BACKGROUND The effect of deep mineral water (DMW) with moderate mineralization on the recovery of physical performance after prolonged dehydrating aerobic exercise in the heat was studied in nine healthy, physically active (VO2max = 45.8 ± 8.4 mL kg(-1) min(-1)) women aged 24.0 ± 3.7 years. METHODS We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover human study to evaluate t...
