用氮气和戊基黄药浮选时黄铁矿的低电位疏水状态

为了解释和查明N2TEC浮选法的基本原理，本文报道了在用戊基钾黄药(PAX)作捕收剂时，黄铁矿的低电位疏水状态的研究成果。新制定的N2TEC浮选法的目的是提高难处理含金硫化矿金回收率。在典型的N2TEC浮选法中，用氮气代替空气作为浮选气体，戊基钾黄药作为评选含金黄铁矿颗粒的捕收剂。l997年3月，第一个N2TEC浮选工艺在内华达州Lone Tree矿山浮选厂投产，一直操作至今。根据电化学校制接触角测量结果，研究了黄铁矿的低电位、低pH疏水状态与浮选变量(pH、气相组成、捕收剂浓度和黄铁矿电位)之间的关系。

The performance of activated sludge plants compared with the results of various bacterial toxicity tests—A study with 3,5-dichlorphenol

It was investigated whether and to what extent the results obtained by various methods of determining bacterial toxicity in waste water could be applied to conditions prevailing in activated sludge plants or in receiving water.3.5-Dichlorphenol (DCP) was studied as an example of a persistent chemical which constitutes a pollution risk to water. The bacterial toxicity limits determined by five different methods—respiration after a 20-h consumption period, consumption rate after 2-h incubation, dehydrogenase activity determined with TTC. gas formation in a fermentation tube and inhibition of the cell division of Pseudomonas—all agreed with the toxicity limit of 5 mg DCP I⁻¹ found in degradation tests in laboratory activated sludge equipment. No safety margin need be taken into account when the test results are applied to biological purification plants.In the activated sludge plants the degradation of the industrial waste water was markedly impaired only when the DCP concentration was increased to 25 mg I⁻¹. This varied in degree according to the sludge load at the beginning of the trial.Shock loads of DCP did not cause the expected fall-off in degradation but only a moderate fluctuation in its rate. The decline in degradation following continuous and also discontinuous addition of DCP was largely or completely overcome within a few weeks by the bacteria becoming adapted to DCP.In samples of river water the toxicity limit as determined by the tests was in the region of 2 mg I⁻¹.
