Summary: An effective method using water containing positively charged nanobubbles and polyaluminum chloride was proposed to treat high-ash fine coal. The results showed that this method could enhance combustible recovery and reduce ash recovery compared to using normal nanobubble water. The presence of positively charged nanobubbles intensified the aggregation of fine coal particles, while polyaluminum chloride disrupted the coal flocs induced by nanobubbles, leading to the release of trapped kaolinite particles and alleviated clay recovery by entrapment.

Summary: Temperature variations can have significant impacts on flotation performance, leading to operational and economic challenges. Improving flotation efficiency at cold temperatures is crucial for the sustainable development of the mining industry, especially as mining operations expand to northern regions and face the increasing influence of climate change-induced weather extremes. Through mono-mineral flotation tests, it was found that sulfide minerals exhibit similar patterns of recovery kinetics at different temperature conditions, with higher recovery and slower kinetics at lower temperatures and lower recoveries and faster kinetics at higher temperatures. The observed variations in foam height and stability at different temperatures also contribute to these findings.

Summary: This study investigated the flotation of kaolinite using water, water containing pure nanobubbles (NBs), or water containing amine coated NBs (CNBs). The micro-flotation results showed that kaolinite had the best flotation performance when water containing CNBs was used. Rheology, settling, zeta potential tests, and particle size distribution analysis were conducted to examine the effect of NBs on the association of kaolinite particles and their correlation with flotation. The results indicated intensified attachment of CNBs on the surfaces of kaolinite and the predominance of edge-to-edge and edge-to-face associations of kaolinite platelets in the presence of CNBs. The formation of three-dimensional clay clusters induced by CNBs exposed more favorable silica planes of kaolinite and improved the flotation of kaolinite through the subsequent adsorption of amine on these planes.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether the two widely used frothers, MIBC and DF250, could generate microbubbles (MBs) in a mechanical flotation cell. The results showed that both MIBC and DF250 could generate MBs, with DF250 producing more and smaller MBs. The generation of MBs by MIBC and DF250 was primarily controlled by their ability to reduce surface tension. The different behaviors of MIBC and DF250 were attributed to their unique structures, with DF250 having a stronger ability to assist with the generation of MBs.

Summary: With the assistance of mechanical ball milling, the partially oxidized micro-sponge iron (micro-Fe0@Fe2O3) achieves significantly improved removal of Cr(VI) across a broad pH range. Mechanical force eliminates the surface oxide layer and exposes the Fe0 core, leading to sustained reduction of Cr(VI). The efficiency of micro-Fe0@Fe2O3 is strongly influenced by dissolved oxygen, with higher DO resulting in the generation of stable reductant Fe(II) under acidic conditions, while DO consumption hinders the reduction of Cr(VI) under alkaline conditions due to increased pH. Parameters of ball milling operation, especially rotation speed, have a significant impact on the removal of Cr(VI).

Summary: High molecular weight partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (PHPA) is commonly used in mineral exploration drilling to increase fluid viscosity and help maintain the suspension of fine particles. However, clarifying these suspensions can be difficult, and previous studies have found that anionic flocculants are ineffective. This study confirmed that nonionic flocculants can successfully aggregate the particles, indicating that the charged tails of adsorbed PHPA prevent anionic flocculants from accessing the particle surfaces.

Summary: Mineral processing requires large amounts of water, and reducing water consumption through recirculation and closing water loops is important. However, this can lead to the accumulation of contaminants in the process water, which can negatively affect the process performance. In this study, the impact of microorganisms on flotation performance was investigated, and ion exchange was evaluated for removing dissolved sulfur species and microorganisms from water. The results showed that adding microorganisms had a positive effect on flotation selectivity, especially for nickel. Different water types, process water and final tailings water, behaved slightly differently. Ion exchange proved to be effective in removing sulfur species and microorganisms, and dissolved air flotation was a successful pretreatment for ion exchange in removing microorganisms.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the use of a DDA/DDTC mixed collector system can significantly improve the flotation performance of smithsonite. The synergistic effect between DDA and DDTC is confirmed, and the mixed collector system contributes to a decrease in solution surface tension. The use of FT-IR and XPS confirms the simultaneous physisorption and chemisorption of DDA and DDTC on the smithsonite surface, and contact angle measurements show that the mixed collector effectively enhances the hydrophobicity of smithsonite. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the multilayer adsorption of DDTC and DDA on the smithsonite surface, with DDTC promoting the adsorption of DDA.
