Phytomining, although predominantly in its early stages on the broader scientific scope of investigation, has garnered interest in metals such as Ni, Au, or rare earth elements (REE). However, Zn pollution from mine wastes, smelters, coal ash and other anthropogenic sources has become an environmental problem. Phytoremediation by hyperaccumulating plants is one of the proposed solutions to mitigate the pollution. Therefore, a need to utilize or dispose Zn hyperaccumulating plants occurred. Since studies of certain hyperaccumulating plant species have been previously conducted in order to extract metal products, similar hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical techniques were tried with Zn. The hydrometallurgical route was more focused on producing crude eco catalysts for organic chemistry or separating metal hydroxides by cementation. This was achieved with acid leaching of the ash which was obtained by calcinating the aboveground plant biomass. On the other hand, the pyrometallurgical route was more focused on safe and eco-friendly disposal of combustion products such as ash or biochar, while achieving zero toxic gaseous emissions from biomass pyrolysis. Regardless of the approach further research is needed to investigate the stabilization of metals that remain in the solid fraction during combustion and lowering the metal content in produced gases. So far, none of these technologies have been brought to a semi industrial scale and there is the potential of linking those two approaches together.

A number of industrial and technology sectors have been paying attention to a particular chemical element in recent years, namely niobium (Nb). There are many niobium deposits scattered around the world, and for each deposit different technologies are applied for extraction and processing due to the singular characteristics present at each site. In this paper, a review of the many technologies for niobium production will be presented starting at the mine, through techniques of niobium ore beneficiation and refining, technologies to produce ferroniobium alloy, oxides, special oxides, ammonium niobium oxalate, the separation of niobium from tantalum, and techniques to reduce and purify metallic niobium.

Quantitative and qualitative regularities of a collector low and high molecular weight fractions distribution between solid and liquid phases in foam separation process were determined with the use of extraction-spectrophotometrical technique. The feasibility of producing a collector with optimal ratio of fractions of light distillates, hydrocarbon oils, resin, and asphaltenes by mixing M-40 fuel oil with diesel fuel oil in specified ratios was substantiated. It was shown that applying compound collectors with M-40 fuel oil weight percentage of 60-70 enabled increasing diamond recovery by 2.7-3.5%. Similar increase was also achieved when using F-5 bunker fuel oil diluted by 10-18% with diesel oil fraction. The optimal temperature of 24 °C for initial ore feed conditioning with flotation agents and foam separation providing maximum diamond recovery into concentrate and high selectivity was determined. The proposed collectors and temperature conditions enabled increasing diamond recovery.

In present paper the energy consumption of the excavator and overburden linear cutting resistance by invoking the multiple linear regression was examined. As a result, the corresponding models as nonlinear functions of physical and mechanical overburden properties: grain size, unit weight, cohesion, and friction angle, were proposed. The analysis was based on records made at ''Tamnava Eastern Field'' mine for the bucket-wheel excavator with new excavation teeth. The obtained results indicated that excavator energy consumption significantly depended on the grain size and cohesion, as individual factors, while the effect of two-factor interactions was particularly significant: clay percentage with cohesion and small grained sand fraction, and friction angle with medium grained sand and cohesion. On the other hand, linear cutting resistance of the overburden was largely controlled by all the examined physical and mechanical properties (grain size, unit weight, and shear strength), with the following significant two-factors interactions: shear strength parameters with all grain size fractions, different grain size fractions among each other, and friction angle with unit weight.

The reason for diamond loss in foam separation process consists in the fact that the diamond crystals fed to the foam separation are coated with hydroxides and carbonates. A combined method to restore the diamond hydrophobicity through thermal and electrochemical destruction of the mineral coat was proposed. This method provides for the conditioning stage in the foam separation process to enable decreasing the amount of the minerals coating diamonds surface from 3 to 10 times. Technological research showed that using products of diaphragm less electrolysis of recirculating water, with the thermal treatment of the foam separation feed enables increasing the recovery of diamonds in the foam separation concentrate from 76.5% to 83.7%.

This paper is devoted to determining whether the addition of geological information can improve the resource estimate of mineral resources. The geochemical data used come from 116 drill holes in the Nkout East iron deposit in southern Cameroon. These geochemical data are modeled on Surpac and Isatis softwares to represent the 3D geochemical distribution of iron in the deposit. Statistical analysis and then a variographic study is performed to study the spatial variability of iron. Estimation domains were defined based on the results of geological and geochemical analyses. Four domains were determined. These domains are the saprolitic domain in particular; the poor domain or fresh rocks such as amphibolites, granites, and gneisses; the rich domain or oxidized rocks (BIF) and the metasediment domain. Block modeling of the deposit is performed to estimate the resource. The grade of each block was estimated by using ordinary kriging and composites from each domain. This study also consisted of comparing two types of estimate, notably the domain estimate and the global estimate. The cross-validation made it possible to authenticate the obtained models. From this comparison, the domain estimation brings more precision the global estimate precisely on the error analysis while if we take into account the point clouds of the predicted and estimated values, the estimation by geochemical modeling provides the best results.

The paper represents a part of research conducted with the aim of examining the possibility of applying selective flocculation of goethite from sludge that occurs in the process of iron ore production. The aim of this study was to compare the influence of polyacrylamide and sodium oleate as a flocculant on the settling behavior of goethite under different conditions. The paper presents the results of the research on the influence of the flocculants based on polyacrylamide and sodium oleate, as well as pH values on the settling rate of a natural goethite sample. The results showed that the settling rate of goethite was influenced by pH value and the type of flocculant, while the concentration of flocculant did not significantly affect the settling rate. Measurements of zeta potential showed the effect of flocculants on the surface of the goethite.

The sulfur in coal not only influences the coke quality but also pollutes the environment during the combustion. The desulfurization of high organic sulfur coal is a key issue in coal cleaning science. As the pyrolysis has been used in low-rank coal conversion to obtain gas/liquid products and coal char, the desulfurization effects of pyrolysis on the low-rank coal with high organic sulfur requires further studies. This study investigated the desulfurization performance of high organic sulfur low-rank coal by the pyrolysis and the changes in the coal calorific value and sulfur forms during the pyrolysis. The XPS was applied to analyze the changing regulation of sulfur that forms on coal surface. The results indicated certain amount of FeS was newly created during the pyrolysis and high amounts of sulfate sulfur was transferred to pyrite sulfur and formed more FeS2 when compared to the distribution of raw coal. The total sulfur content of coal was reduced from 2.32% for raw coal to 1.68% for 700 °C pyrolysis coal and then the pyrolysis temperature had little effect on the sulfur content. The net calorific value (at constant volume and air-dry basis) was increased from 17.38 kJ for raw coal to 24.35 kJ for 700 °C pyrolysis coal. The pyrolysis temperature of 700 °C may be the best pyrolysis temperature for both low sulfur content and high calorific value.

Through this study special attention was paid to AMDs, originating from copper mines, containing different heavy metal ions, and a certain amount of sulphuric acid. The research was conducted on the territory encompassing the RTB Bor mines (now Serbia Zijin Bor Copper). The AMDs occurrences, their water composition, metal potential, and impact on the local surface waters were determined. The major amount of mine waters flow into the Krivelj River damaging extremely its water quality. The research also included monitoring the Timok river water quality along its course from the Krivelj River inflow to the confluence with the Danube. Evaluating the metal losses, it was found that every year around 360 tons of copper, >500 tons of iron, and 30 tons of zinc from mine waters are lost, as being transported via the Krivelj River to the Timok and then to the Danube.

The modification of structural chemical properties of natural fluorite, scheelite and calcite under the impact of high-power electromagnetic pulses (HPEMP-treatment) were studied with help of adsorption of acid-base indicators. It was determined that the HPEMP-treatment during of 30 seconds (3 x 103 pulses) resulted in the intensification of fluorite surface 'electron-donating ability and acceptor properties of calcite and scheelite surfaces. Single mineral flotation tests has allowed to determine that treatment by high-power electromagnetic pulses resulted in the improvement of the calciferous minerals floatability. The rising of the scheelite recovery was 10 - 12%, for fluorite it was 5 - 6%, for calcite 7 - 8%.
