Dynamic tests were conducted in a laboratory continuous thickening system. This system, shown in Figure 1, consists of a 3½ in. (89 mm) ID and
The granular media used for the study of soluble manganese removal included natural manganese oxide ore. The manganese oxide ore of South Africa origin obtained
However, in a number of applications, natural zeolites have inherent advantages, not the least of which is that natural zeolites cost much less than the
A new procedure for determining the optimum separation for any unit operation. This procedure is based on maximization of the yield index, YI, which is
The phenomena of magnetism is well known. The way in which materials respond to a magnetic field can be predicted and the design of magnet
The unique insolubility of silver chloride makes it possible to readily achieve a distinctive separation of silver from a mixed metal ion acidic solution. Using
Floatability of colemanite was determined using a 150-ml column cell (25 x 220 mm) with a fine fritt and magnetic stirrer. One gram of sample
Non-swelling calcium montmorillonite is mined from bentonite deposits and treated to produced acid-activated powders and granules for use as separation products and catalysts. In particular,
The increased use of flotation columns is due to their superior separation efficiency compared to conventional flotation. This increased efficiency can be attributed to: The
Many investigators showed that mineral flotation can be described as a first-order process (Sutherland, 1948; Tomlison and Fleming, 1963). In this case, the rate of
