Superabsorbent dewatering of refractory gold concentrate slurries

In this paper, superabsorbent polymer (SAB) dewatering behaviour of selected mineral pulps comprising low-grade, refractory gold flotation concentrate, bio-oxidation product and cyanide leach residue was investigated as an alternative to conventional, gravity thickening. The shear rheology of the resulting sediments was also investigated for pulp handleability. All slurries displayed better SAB-mediated dewatering performance, in terms of reduced processing time, volume minimization and greater water recovery for recycle, in comparison with gravity thickening. Specifically, SAB absorbed >94 wt.% water from the dilute slurries within 30 min of contact time. 45–76 wt.% more water was recovered after 60 min at high supernatant clarity using the SAB dewatering approach compared with gravity settling. The observed non-Newtonian, shear thinning rheological behaviour of SAB-dewatered consolidated slurries, reflecting low to moderate yield stresses in the range 1–40 Pa and shear thinning viscosities (<10 mPa⋅s), indicate their “handleability” in hydro-transport. The cost effectiveness of the SAB dewatering process engendered by its significantly greater water recovery and SAB polymer recovery, regeneration and multiple reuse capacity.     

Effect of particle size and grain composition on two-dimensional infiltration process of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ores

The two-dimensional infiltration experiment was carried out by means of digital image technology. The evolution process of the wetting body was described. The wetted front distance and the time show a very significant power function relationship. The horizontal wetted distance is larger than the vertical wetted distance in the initial stage. Then, the vertical distance of the wetted body gradually approaches to the horizontal distance. The infiltration distance decreases as the content of fine particles increases. The wetted front migration rate curve shows a three-stage change law, and it increases with the increase of coarse particle content. The directional velocity ratio is defined. The initial value of horizontal infiltration rate is larger than that of vertical one, and then the vertical infiltration rate is gradually close to the horizontal value. The empirical relationship between the characteristic particle size and the stable infiltration rate is established, which provides a theoretical basis for the prediction of the stable infiltration rate in in-situ leaching.     

容量法测锑矿石中锑的评述

随着各种测量仪器的出现,锑矿石的分析也有了长足的发展,相对于操作仪器的复杂,容量法测锑(可不经过分离而直接滴定)仍是一种简便不可替代的方法。常见的测量方法有硫酸铈容量法、溴酸钾容量法、高锰酸钾容量法、碘量法等,利用锑(ⅲ)与锑(ⅴ)之间的定量转化,在酸性环境下用不同的氧化剂标准溶液滴定氧化锑来确定其中的含量。文章通过对各种容量法的对比,结合锑矿石特有的成分,指出不同方法的优劣,为锑矿石的准确分析提供基础。

在锍试金配料中加入0.2 g锑粉进行熔炼,由于锑的保护作用,试金扣经水浸泡粉化后用(1+1)盐酸分解时锇不损失。铂族硫化物滤渣加10 mg锑粉保护,用2 mL王水在240℃下密闭消解1.5 h可完全溶解,试液采用ICP-MS测定。方法对铂族元素(钌、铑、钯、锇、铱和铂)检出限在0.03~0.16 ng/g之间,相对标准偏差(RSD,n=6)为3.9%~8.9%,国家标准物质测定值和认定值基本吻合,方法还可实现氧化镍源的提纯和循环使用。     

钽铌矿精选的研究现状#$NL

钽铌矿普遍存在品位较低,嵌布粒度较细、性脆易碎、矿物组分复杂等特点,因此钽铌矿石的选矿往往先进行粗选富集,粗精矿再精选获得合格产品。目前,钽铌矿的精选,重选和磁选工艺仍占主导地位;浮选是回收微细粒钽铌矿物最有效的方法;电选常用来去除杂质和综合回收有用矿物;联合工艺是分选钽铌粗精矿最有效的精选工艺;选冶联合既能提高钽铌矿的品位与回收率,又能综合回收利用其他有价元素,

泡沫塑料富集—原子吸收光谱法测定含钨钼矿石中的金

泡沫塑料富集—硫脲解脱—原子吸收法测定含钨、钼矿石中金的分析结果严重偏低的原因在于样品预处理过程中形成的H2WO4、H2Mo O4胶状物捕集了部分Au Cl-4,导致溶液中Au Cl-4与泡沫塑料上活性基团—RNH+3的离子交换程度降低,而与Au Cl-4竞争被泡沫塑料同时吸附的WO2-4、Mo O2-4与泡沫塑料上—RNH+3结合,再次成为捕集硫脲解脱产物Au[SC(NH2)2]+2的类胶状体。通过控制样品分解溶液的酸度,加入适量Fe(Ⅲ)和NH4NO3,可确保溶液中Au(Ⅲ)的稳定性,将可能的H2WO4、H2Mo O4胶状物转化为可溶性盐;将硫脲解脱载金泡沫塑料改为无臭灰化载金泡沫塑料,确保了Au的回收率。该方法操作简便,用于国家标准物质测定,其分析结果的精密度(RSD)小于1.29%,与标准值的相对误差(RE)小于0.92%。

温度对天然块矿爆裂的影响

天然块矿的爆裂指标作为评价矿石最重要的指标之一,其好坏会直接影响高炉的透气性,进而影响高炉顺行。对天然块矿爆裂性能的研究,有利于为合理搭配入炉炉料结构提供相应的依据。研究了4种天然块矿在不同温度下的爆裂性能,以及天然块矿爆裂性能的主要影响因素。试验表明:随着温度的不断升高,4种天然块矿爆裂后的粒级分布以及爆裂指数呈现不同的变化规律,而不同类型的天然块矿在同一温度下的爆裂指数也不尽相同。天然块矿中羟基的质量分数越高,其爆裂性能越强烈。块矿孔隙总体积和微孔平均直径的减小也会导致块矿的爆裂性能升高。
