Primary concentrations of Azara barite deposit in Nassarawa state, Nigeria were conducted; employing simplified gravity concentration techniques. Particle size distribution, specific gravity, physicochemical and morphological analyses of the sample was conducted. These analyses were done in order to establish process efficacy and effectiveness of gravity concentration processes for recovery of barium from the ore deposit, as well as its suitability in various industrial applications, such as the oil and gas sectors. Thus, microstructural, chemical composition and certain physicochemical characteristics/properties of the mineral sample of Azara-Nassarawa barite were determined. XRD, XRF, SEM and EDS analyses were utilized in determining morphology as well as quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses of the sample. Barite sample with average particle size of -355+150µm was subjected to concentration, adopting jigging and tabling gravity separation as the concentration methods. Hitherto, based on quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses conducted, the sample was composed of about 36.2% BaO and 40.5% Ba, respectively; and also possessed an average specific gravity (SG) of about 3.85. Further, the qualitative analysis of the mineral products of jiggling and tabling indicated that jigging had a concentrate recovery of 130.98% Ba with SG increase of 11.2% while tabling had 89.81% Ba recovery with 8.6% SG increase. Assay and SG results confirm gravity concentration efficiency and thus, establish the barite from Azara-Nassarawa ore deposits suitable for certain industrial applications. This will serve as a tool and a step further towards mitigating existing problems or challenges in mineral concentration and processing of such deposits for industrial purposes.

In order to effectively eliminate the effect of fine carbonate minerals on quartz flotation, the influence of fine siderite on quartz flotation was studied as well as the mechanism or role of ultrasonic treatment in the process. The results of adsorption capacity measurement and flotation solution chemical calculation show that fine siderite and its dissolved components have a great influence on the collector consumption and the surface properties of quartz. In addition, SEM, EDS and XPS analysis were used to study the surface morphology and chemical environment changes of quartz with and without ultrasonic treatment. The results of flotation test show that the recovery of quartz increase from 38.79% to 58.38% under the condition that ultrasonic time was 0.5 min and ultrasonic power was 200 W. The mechanical effect caused by ultrasonic cavitation can clean the quartz surface to a certain extent and increase its active sites, thus improving the floatability of quartz.

This paper investigates the production of a micronized muscovite to a target product size of d50~15 µm with a minimum energy consumption to suit the product requirements of the paint industry by a dry grinding process in a laboratory-scale vertical stirred ball mill. A series of batch dry grinding tests were conducted without and with two commonly used industrial liquid grinding aids, ethylene glycol (EG, C2H6O2) and triethanolamine (TEA, C6H15NO3). The results were evaluated based on particle size distribution (PSD), specific energy consumption, span value, and aspect ratio. The results showed that using liquid grinding aids resulted in a finer PSD, lower specific energy consumption, a narrower size distribution, lower span values, and a higher aspect ratio, which meant better delamination and improved grinding efficiency to that of no grinding aid. The interaction between grinding aids and ground muscovite surfaces was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR measurements revealed that EG and TEA were physically adsorbed on muscovite surfaces. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was also employed to determine differences between ground muscovite surfaces with and without grinding aids. SEM images indicated that grinding aids could prevent the agglomeration of ground muscovite particles while improving delamination. Adding grinding aids led to a decrease in muscovite agglomeration and an improvement in lamination owing to the adsorption of grinding aids on the particle surfaces.

Rare earths (REs) containing phosphate rock is a potential REs resource. The unclear occurrence mechanism of REs in phosphorite limits its further development and utilization. Fluorapatite (FAP) is the main REs-bearing target mineral in phosphorite, the microscopic mechanism of REs entering FAP still needs to be further studied from the electronic scale. In this paper, the doping mechanism of REs in FAP was studied by experiment combined with GGA+U calculation. The XRD, SEM, and FT-IR characterization results of hydrothermal synthesis products showed that REs (La, Ce, Nd, and Y) entered FAP crystal, and one of every 20 Ca atoms was replaced by a REs atom. The GGA+U calculation indicated that La-O/F, Ce-O/F, Nd-O/F, and Y-O/F were ionic bonds in general, and the bonding strength of La-O/F, Ce-O/F, Nd-O/F, and Y-O/F increased gradually with atomic number. The substitution difference of La, Ce, Nd, and Y was mainly caused by the gain and loss of electrons in f and d orbitals. The substitution mechanism of REs at the characteristic sites of Fap was studied, which provided a theoretical reference for the selective recovery of REs from phosphorus blocks.

Flotation separation of galena and chalcopyrite is always a difficult problem in mineral processing. In this paper, the selective preoxidation of galena and chalcopyrite with sulfuric acid was developed, and then the two minerals were completely separated by flotation. The surface oxidation mechanism of galena and chalcopyrite with sulfuric acid was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and the results showed that hydrophilic oxide film was formed on the galena surface, while the surface of chalcopyrite is still hydrophobic sulfide film, which led to the separation of the two minerals by flotation. In addition, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the influence of main preoxidation parameters on the flotation separation of copper-lead concentrate, and the parameters were further optimized, as follows: sulfuric acid concentration of 5.3 mol/L, oxidation temperature of 101.8 °C and time of 48.3 min. The mixed concentrate containing Cu 11.57% and Pb 16.75% was preoxidized under the above conditions, and the flotation separation verification results showed that Cu concentrate with Cu grade of 18.09% and recovery of 95.41%, and Pb concentrate with Pb grade of 44.96% and recovery of 95.94% was obtained respectively. This paper provides a new method of preoxidation combined flotation to achieve high-efficiency separation of copper-lead mixed concentrate.

In this paper, an extended Historical Data (HD) design was applied for evaluating the effect of an acetonized pyrolysis oil (PO) produced by pyrolysis of spent-car tires in coal. Experimental and statistical analyses were applied for examining the influence of some operating variables such as concentration of diesel oil (0, 10, and 20 L/t), pine oil (0.55, 0.1, and 1 L/t), and the pyrolysis oil (0, 10, and 20 L/t) as well as solid content of pulp (5, 10, and 15% (w/w)) on the yield and ash content of final concentrate. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements showed that PO contained hydroxyl, aldehyde, aliphatic, and aromatic compounds. Based on the results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), the main effect of all variables, except concentration of pine oil, on the flotation responses were found significant. Batch flotation experimental results indicated that using pyrolysis oil resulted in a 2% increase in ash content and a 35% decrease of the yield, through a nonlinear trend. The curved behavior of flotation measures was due to the possible competitive adsorption between PO and diesel oil and nonselective interaction between pyrolysis oil and other reagents. The negative effect of PO on coal flotation efficiency was also ascribed to the interaction between hydrophilic groups in PO structure and the oxide nature of non-combustible materials of coal particles.

Flotation kinetic models can be applied to describe the flotation process and to predict mineral recoveries. However, the size composition of the target minerals in the feed ore fluctuates considerably, resulting in insufficient accuracy with flotation kinetic models. There have been many studies that focus on the investigation of flotation kinetics with different particle sizes, while the optimization methods for flotation kinetic models based on particle size effects have not been reported. In this paper, flotation tests, optical microscope observations, and particle size analysis were used to identify the reasons for the decrease in accuracy of the flotation kinetic model due to changes in the composition of molybdenite particle size. Additionally, an optimization method for the flotation kinetic model was developed based on the particle size effect. The test results show that the accuracy of the flotation kinetic model for fixed particle size minerals is very high, but the predicted results for flotation recoveries of different particle size mineral mixtures have large deviations. The poor accuracy might be due to the autogenous carrier effect caused by the particle size composition fluctuating considerably. The optimization method for the flotation kinetic model is based on the particle size effect. The model can accurately describe the flotation process of molybdenite with different size compositions of molybdenite and predict the flotation recovery of molybdenite.

The effect of ethyl thioglycolate organic small molecule inhibitors on chalcopyrite molybdenite flotation behaviour is investigated via single mineral micro-flotation tests, zeta potential tests, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Results of the flotation test indicate that ethyl thioglycolate organic small-molecule inhibitors can effectively separate Cu and Mo and selectively inhibit chalcopyrite under weak alkaline conditions. Infrared spectroscopy and XPS analysis show that hydrophilic functional groups C=O and -COOH in the ethyl thioglycolate organic small molecules can chemically adsorb onto the chalcopyrite surface. Moreover, ethyl thioglycolate has no obvious effect on zeta potential of molybdenite. Therefore, ethyl thioglycolate can effectively separate chalcopyrite and molybdenite.

Addition of organic acids to dilute hydrochloric acid solution can improve the extraction of rare earth elements by single cationic extractants. However, the correlation between the chemical structure of organic acids and the extraction of REEs as well as the variation in equilibrium pH has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the extraction of Tb(III) from dilute HCl solutions containing an organic acid like formic, lactic, fumaric, or maleic acid. As extractants, single Cyanex 272, a mixture of Cyanex 272 and Alamine 336 (Ala336-Cy272), and an ionic liquid (ALi-Cy272) synthesized by Cyanex 272 and Aliquat 336 were used. The speciation of Tb(III) in dilute HCl solutions containing organic acids was analyzed. In extraction of Tb(III), organic acids showed two roles as complexing and buffering agent, which depended on the chemical structure of the acids. There was some difference in the extraction of Tb(III) between single Cyanex 272 and ionic liquid, ALi-Cy272. During extraction with ALi-Cy272, formic and lactic acid negatively affected the extraction of Tb(III). The fact that the chemical structure of organic acids affected the extraction of Tb(III) from dilute HCl solution by the studied extractants can provide important information on the selection of suitable extraction systems.

The preparation of cementing admixture from tailings and co-solidification of Pb2+ with cement is a green way to realize the resource utilization of tailings and treatment of the lead-containing wastewater. In this paper, the tungsten tailings were activated in different ways, and the mechanical properties of the tungsten tailings-cement solidified body with different activation systems and the solidification behavior of Pb2+ were studied. The phase and microstructure of the hydrated product were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDS. The results showed that the curing effect of Pb2+ was obviously different of different activation systems, and the curing effect of the solidified body of the ternary composite activation system (TCAS) was the best, second only to the pure cement system (PCS). Different activation methods have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the solidified body. With the increase of the Pb2+ content, the compressive strength of the solidified body gradually decreased, the Pb2+ leaching concentration gradually increased; with the extension of the curing age, the compressive strength gradually increased, and the Pb2+ leaching concentration gradually decreased. In particular, the compressive strength of the 28d solidified body was 31.43 MPa and the leaching concentration of Pb2+ was only 0.38 mg/L when the Pb2+ content was 5%. The phase, microstructure and EDS results of the hydration products showed that Pb2+ was mainly solidified in the C-S-H gel.

The phase and microstructure of the hydrated product were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and EDS. The results showed that the curing effect of Pb2+ was obviously different of different activation systems, and the curing effect of the solidified body of the ternary composite activation system (TCAS) was the best, second only to the pure cement system (PCS). Different activation methods have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the solidified body. With the increase of the Pb2+ content, the compressive strength of the solidified body gradually decreased, the Pb2+ leaching concentration gradually increased; with the extension of the curing age, the compressive strength gradually increased, and the Pb2+ leaching concentration gradually decreased. In particular, the compressive strength of the 28d solidified body was 31.43 MPa and the leaching concentration of Pb2+ was only 0.38 mg/L when the Pb2+ content was 5%. The phase, microstructure and EDS results of the hydration products showed that Pb2+ was mainly solidified in the C-S-H gel.","PeriodicalId":49137,"journal":{"name":"Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45795734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
