Mechanics of Oil Sands Slurry Flow in a Flexible Pipeline System

Slurry transportation is an economic haulage system in oil sands and coal-mining operations characterized by long haulage distances and rugged terrain. In such conditions, the ton-km-hr limits are exceeded creating extreme tire wear and high maintenance costs. Steep haul grades and rugged terrain also cause mechanical wear and tear, which decrease haulage equipment economic life. Hydraulic transportation is a proven and viable technology for slurry transportation in such conditions. Currently, stationary pipeline transportation is being used in transporting minerals in many mines. There is an increasing demand to create slurrified minerals at the mining faces to be transported to the processing plant. However, stationary pipelines are not capable for dealing with the rapidly changing configuration of the mining faces. In this paper, the authors develop the ground articulating pipeline (GAP) technology to address this problem. The GAP system consists of pipelines connected together with flexible joints in each pipe section, which allows deflection to avoid torsional stresses from the adjoining frames. This flexible arrangement accommodates the horizontal and vertical displacements of the mobile system as it follows the hydraulic shovels in the excavation process. The mechanics of the GAP system, as well as the production–economic function, are formulated and simulated over an extended period using data and information from Syncrude’s North Mine. The results show that the GAP system is technically and economically viable for productivity between 6,300 and 6,500 tons per hour. The simulated head loss for the GAP system is 15.66 m per 400 m, which compares with 20 m per 400 m for the existing stationary system at Syncrude. The pressure gradient-radius curves are asymptotic to the pipe boundaries, which indicates steep axial pressure gradient in these areas.     

Efficient recovery of nano-sized iron oxide particles from synthetic acid-mine drainage (AMD) water using fuel cell technologies

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is an important contributor to surface water pollution due to the release of acid and metals. Fe(II) in AMD reacts with dissolved oxygen to produce iron oxide precipitates, resulting in further acidification, discoloration of stream beds, and sludge deposits in receiving waters. It has recently been shown that new fuel cell technologies, based on microbial fuel cells, can be used to treat AMD and generate electricity. Here we show that this approach can also be used as a technique to generate spherical nano-particles of iron oxide that, upon drying, are transformed to goethite (α-FeOOH). This approach therefore provides a relatively straightforward way to generate a product that has commercial value. Particle diameters ranged from 120 to 700 nm, with sizes that could be controlled by varying the conditions in the fuel cell, especially current density (0.04-0.12 mA/cm²), pH (4-7.5), and initial Fe(II) concentration (50-1000 mg/L). The most efficient production of goethite and power occurred with pH = 6.3 and Fe(II) concentrations above 200 mg/L. These results show that fuel cell technologies can not only be used for simultaneous AMD treatment and power generation, but that they can generate useful products such as iron oxide particles having sizes appropriate for used as pigments and other applications.     

RECOVERY OF URANIUM FROM ACID MINE DRAINAGE WATERS BY ION EXCHANGE

Of the many applications involving the use of ion exchange, the removal of contaminants in effluents ranks as one that has aroused considerable attention. In the present study, this process was used to remove and recover uranium from acid mine waters at Caldas Uranium Mining and Extraction Plant, in the southeast of Brazil. Studies of sorption and NaCl elution to recovery uranium as a commercial product, are presented. Lime precipitation tests with the effluent from the resin revealed an overall uranium decontamination level of 94% in the sludge when compared with the actual lime precipitation treatment of acid mine water.

Evaluation of a fluorescent derivative of AMD3100 and its interaction with the CXCR4 chemokine receptor

AMD3100 is a potent and selective antagonist of the CXCR4 receptor; it has been shown to block the route of entry of HIV into host T-cells. This compound and its analogues have since been found to act as haematopoietic stem cell mobilisation agents and, more recently, as anti-cancer agents. Here, we have examined a fluorescent derivative of AMD3100, L(1), which offered the potential to assess the behaviour of AMD3100 at the cell surface by using optical imaging modalities. The binuclear Zn(II) , Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of L(1) have also been investigated as these metals have been previously shown to enhance the binding properties of AMD3100. Furthermore, Zn(II) and Cu(II) are known to enhance and quench, respectively, the fluorescence of similar anthracenyl-based ligands. Whilst L(1) demonstrates an ability to inhibit the binding of the anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antibody 12G5 (IC(50) =0.25-0.9 μM), the incorporation of an anthracenyl moiety resulted in a significantly reduced affinity for CXCR4 compared to AMD3100 (IC(50) =10 nM). We observed no significant increase in fluorescence intensity following incubation with murine pre-B cells overexpressing CXCR4 compared to a control cell line. This limits the usefulness of L(1) as a fluorescent imaging probe. Interestingly, the Zn(II) complex, which carries an overall +4 charge, revealed marginally higher specificity and reduced toxicity in vitro compared to the free ligand, albeit with reduced affinity for CXCR4 (IC(50) =1.8-5 μM). We suggest that the incorporation of an anthracenyl group contributes to the lipophilic character of the free ligand, thereby resulting in transport across the plasma membrane. This effect is seemingly diminished when the ligand is complexed to charged metal ions.
