An alternative method based on cementation for the recovery of nickel from spent Ni/Al2O3 reforming catalyst pregnant leach solution (PLS) was proposed to overcome the limitations of traditional two-step extraction and precipitation processes. Thermodynamic analysis was used to evaluate the potential interference of key reactions, such as nickel an...
Ferrocolumbite, a variegated oxide mineral bearing the strategic element niobium, exhibits an array of surface chemical compositions across various cleavage orientations. The complexity of Nb-bearing ores hinders the efficiency of separation processes, necessitating fundamental research to bridge the knowledge gap regarding the surface dominance an...
Iron content can cause severe challenges through zinc production from zinc sulfide concentrate. The zinc industry extensively uses the jarosite precipitation process (JPP) to precipitate dissolved iron and remove it before transferring the solution to downstream stages. Precipitating agents (PAs) play an essential role in the JPP. However, surprisi...
Hydration of pyrochlore is a preponderant step during its flotation well before any other surface-reagent interaction to take place. Water adsorption on low-index pyrochlore surfaces is investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulation, with a focus on the mechanisms of water interaction with surface sites and their coordination. As far as...
This review addresses the recovery of metals from all the main types of spent batteries (including Li-based, Zn-based, and Ni-based batteries) using bioleaching processes. Traditional processes are based on pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods and can be costly and, in some cases, cannot effectively recover the metals used in battery ma...
Application of nanofluids as a working fluid can increase the thermal efficiency of heat pipes. The objective of this comprehensive review is to study the previous works to understand the dominant mechanisms of heat transfer when nanofluids are used in thermosyphon heat pipe (THP). The influence of heat input, type and concentration of nanoparticle...
Germanium is recognized as a critical and rare element, since it lacks primary resources and is extracted as by-product of zinc and copper refining. This element has high-tech applications in optics and electronics industries. Therefore, recycling of germanium from spent resources is an important task to create a sustainable approach for solving th...
Jarosite precipitation process (JPP) is the most frequently used procedure for iron removal in the hydrometallurgical zinc extraction process. However, there is a gap in the knowledge of the relationship between operational parameters and the low contaminant JPP on the industrial scale. This study will address these issues by investigating the beha...
A green approach was introduced to regenerate Sn-Pb solder from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). For this purpose, waste Al-based heat sinks were used as cementing agent to precipitate Sn and Pb from pregnant leach solution (PLS) obtained from the dissolution of waste PCBs in HCl. 97% and 94.9% of Sn and Pb were recovered, respectively, under o...
Traditionally, calcination or roasting in high temperatures are employed followed by leaching, solvent extraction and precipitation to recover metals from spent catalysts. In this study, a novel flowsheet combining selective leaching, chemical precipitation and cementation was proposed to recycle nickel and aluminum from spent Ni/Al2O3 methanation...
High stability and low settling rate of phosphate fines in water suspensions encountered the dry area-located mines with serious environmental and technical challenges. The best suggestion for these mines is paste thickener installation for dewatering. In this research, the novel procedure has been proposed for evaluating the potential of paste thi...
The aim of this research was to develop an environmentally friendly flowsheet to recover Sn and Pb, which are two well-known hazardous elements, from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs), resulting in solving an environmental issue besides reproducing high-value metals. In the leaching process, the highest Sn and Pb recoveries of 88% and 99% were ac...
Different factors involving in grinding of ore cause various breakage mechanisms. These different mechanisms differ the morphology of ground particles. In this study, the effect of ball mill types, feed sizes, and ball surface area have been investigated on the morphology of ground quartz particles using MBL cruise optical microscope and Olympus E-...
The material transport system in an open pit mine significantly affects the capital and operating costs. All truck haulage is the most common and is a reliable and flexible transport system. On the other hand, this system is very expensive and can cost up to 50% of total mining costs. Its costs are continuously increasing due to the inflation of th...
