A mixed collector system for phosphate flotation

Flotation has been used in industry for more than a half century as the primary technique for upgrading phosphate. While the flotation of phosphate was inefficient when oleic acid was used alone as a collector, therefore a mixed collector of oleic acid (HOl), linoleic acid (LA) and linolenic acid (LNA) was employed to improve the recovery of phosphate flotation. The batch flotation results showed that the optimal composition of the mixed collector was 54 wt.% HOl, 36 wt.% LA and 10 wt.% LNA. Additionally, the effect of pH on the mixed collector application was studied while considering the surface tension, contact angle and micro-flotation. The results showed that the mixed collector should be used at a pH of 9.5. Above a pH of 9.5, the adsorption of fatty acids dimers on the apatite surface hindered phosphate flotation. The influence of the mixed collector assembly on apatite flotation was also investigated. It was demonstrated that due to its low critical micelle concentration, a sufficiently hydrophobic apatite surface could be generated at a collector concentration of 60 mg/L. In addition, zeta potential experiments suggested that collector adsorption was governed by chemisorption. FTIR and XPS spectra studies further indicated that the chemical reaction involved the carboxyl groups of fatty acids and Ca species at the apatite surface for each fatty acid in the mixed collector.     

柿竹园野鸡尾铜锡矿体锡浮选回收试验研究

柿竹园野鸡尾铜锡多金属矿含Cu 0. 18%,含Sn 0. 36%,其它有价元素均较低。由于铜锡有价元素嵌布粒度较细,磨矿粒度较细,采用重选回收率较低,因此采用浮选的方法来回收锡石。本研究采用碳酸钠作为pH值调整剂,硝酸铅作为活化剂,GYB作为捕收剂,松醇油作为起泡剂,采用一次粗选两次扫选三次精选的工艺流程,最终闭路试验结果表明,锡石精矿中锡含量为5. 27%、回收率62. 42%。     

A novel method to enhance magnetic property of bioactive glass-ceramics for hyperthermia

In this study, a novel method was proposed to enhance the magnetic property of magnetic bioactive glass-ceramic (MBGC) using graphite-modified magnetite. The crystalline composition, chemical structure, in vitro bioactivity, magnetic property, heat generating ability, cytotoxicity and the hyperthermia treatment effectiveness of the synthesized material were investigated thoroughly. The results revealed that the addition of graphite could prevent the magnetite from being oxidized. The main phases of the as-prepared material were found to be Fe₃O₄, Ca_2.87Fe_0.13(SiO₃)₃ and Ca₂SiO₄ in the CaO-SiO₂-MgO-CaF₂-P₂O₅-Fe₃O₄ system. Moreover, the material was bioactive and hydroxyapatite was observed on the surface after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 10 d. Under a magnetic field of 1.6?×?10⁶ A?m^?1, the saturation magnetization of MGBC was about 10.6?A?m² Kg^?1, while that of the contrast sample was only 2.9?A?m² kg^?1. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field (252?kHz, 1.9?×?10³ A?m^?1) for about 20?s, a temperature rise of 20?°C could be observed on the sample surface. MTT assay results showed that the material had no cytotoxicity for VX2 cells. Moreover, the hyperthermia treatment experiments were carried out by exposing the block samples (Φ8?×?2?mm) and VX2 cells simultaneously to the alternating magnetic field for 20?min. Only about 30% cells survived after the treatment, and dead cells were observed around the material. Therefore, this novel material could have potential applications for clinical hyperthermia treatment.     

A Comparison of Pellet Quality from Straight-grate and Grate-kiln Furnaces

Both straight-grate and grate-kiln furnaces have been accepted in the iron ore industry. Both are considered to be roughly equal when comparing overall costs and expenses versus the final product production rate. However, the product quality of these two systems is not equal. This is shown by critically examining the dust generation of pellets from several facilities. The dustiness of pellets is associated with overall pellet strength, and is an important quality measure of fired pellets on its own. A clear distinction between the dustiness of grate-kiln and straight-grate fired pellets is established. We conclude that grate-kiln-cooler systems provide superior pellet quality, but at the cost of some pellet production rate.
