Oily wastewater pollution affects drinking water and groundwater resources, endangers aquatic life and human health, causes atmospheric pollution, and affects crop production. Several traditional and conventional methods were widely reported, and the advantages and limitations were discussed. However, with the technology innovation, new trends of coupling between techniques, use of new materials, optimization of the cleaning process, and multiphysical approach present new paths for improvement. Despite these trends of improvement and the encouraging laboratory results of modern and green methods, many challenges remain to be raised, particularly the commercialization and the global aspect of these solutions and the reliability to reduce the system’s maintenance and operational Citation: Abuhasel, K.; Kchaou, M.; cost.

Received: 24 July 2018; Accepted: 13 August 2018; Published: 15 August 2018 Abstract: It is well documented that flotation has high economic viability for the beneficiation of valuable minerals when their main ore bodies contain magnesium (Mg) carbonates such as dolomite and magnesite. Flotation separation of Mg carbonates from their associated valuable minerals (AVMs) presents several challenges, and Mg carbonates have high levels of adverse effects on separation efficiency. These complexities can be attributed to various reasons: Mg carbonates are naturally hydrophilic, soluble, and exhibit similar surface characteristics as their AVMs. This study presents a compilation of various parameters, including zeta potential, pH, particle size, reagents (collectors, depressant, and modifiers), and bio-flotation, which were examined in several investigations into separating Mg carbonates from their AVMs by froth flotation. Keywords: dolomite; magnesite; flotation; bio-flotation 1. Introduction Magnesium (Mg) carbonates (salt-type minerals) are typical gangue phases associated with several valuable minerals, and have complicated processing [1,2].

OF TECHNOLOGY, AKURE, ONDO STATE, NIGERIA Email addresses: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected], 4 [email protected] ABSTRACT The dire need for Itakpe iron ore concentrates of appreciable iron content meets for smelting operation necessitated this study. Core samples of the iron ore sourced from Itakpe, Kogi State, Nigeria were prepared for petrological analysis followed by chemical and particle size analyses. Froth flotation was done using different collectors at varying particle sizes and pH values. Characterization studies carried out revealed that Itakpe iron ore is a lean ore assaying 36.18% Fe2O3 and contains predominantly quartz, sillimanite, and haematite. Its liberation size lies favourably at 75 µm. Processing the ore by froth flotation yielded appreciable enrichment. Optimal recovery (~92%) was achieved using potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) at pH 11 for fine feed sizes (<125 µm) yielding iron concentrate assaying 67.66% Fe2O3. Thus, processing at this set-of- conditions is recommended for the industrial production of more enriched Itakpe iron ore concentrates.

  • Experiment 2 — Distillation and Gas Chromatography
    Chem 21 Fall 2009 Experiment 2 — Distillation and Gas Chromatography _____________________________________________________________________________ Pre-lab preparation (1) Read the supplemental material on distillation theory and techniques from Zubrick, The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual, and the section on Gas Chromatography from Fessenden, Fessenden, and Feist, Organic Laboratory Techniques, then read this handout carefully. (2) In your notebook, write a short paragraph summarizing what you will be doing in this experiment and what you hope to learn about the efficiencies of the distillation techniques. (3) Sketch the apparatus for the simple and fractional distillations. Your set-up will look much like that shown on p 198 of Zubrick, except that yours will have a simple drip tip in place of the more standard vacuum adaptor. (4) Look up the structures and relevant physical data for the two compounds you will be using. What data are relevant? Read the procedure, think about the data analysis, and decide what you need. (5) Since you have the necessary data, calculate the log of the volatility factor (log α) that you will need for the theoretical plate calculation. Distillation has been used since antiquity to separate the components of mixtures. In one form or another, distillation is used in the manufacture of perfumes, flavorings, liquors, and a variety of other organic chemicals. One of its most important modern applications is in refining crude oil to make fuels, lubricants, and other petrochemicals. The first step in the refining process is separation of crude petroleum into various hydrocarbon fractions by distillation through huge fractionating columns, called distillation towers, that are hundreds of feet high.

  • A Critical Review of Water Purification Technology Appropriate for Developing Countries
    Desalination and Water Treatment 54 (2015) 3487–3493 www.deswater.com June doi: 10.1080/19443994.2014.922309 A critical review of water purification technology appropriate for developing countries: Northern Ghana as a case study Michelle Thompson Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, University of California, 300 La Kretz Hall, Suite 300, Box 951496, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA, email: [email protected] Received 15 January 2014; Accepted 14 March 2014 ABSTRACT A wide range of technologies are commercially available for water purification. However, not all of these technologies are suitable for use in rural, underdeveloped regions. Here, I present a systematic method for selecting the most appropriate technology for a particular community, using rural Ghana as a case study. In Ghana, over half of the population lives in rural areas, and two-thirds of these residents lack access to safe drinking water. Ghana has made significant strides using innovative water treatment techniques; however, there are still many hurdles. Simple and inexpensive, on-site water filtration technologies are a promising method for removing protozoans and other micro-organisms that pose significant health risks in underdeveloped, rural areas. In this review, several of these commercially available on-site water filtration technologies are assessed based on the following factors: effectiveness, cost, energy consumption, environmental impacts, and waste generated. This ® analysis suggests that for rural communities in Ghana, LifeStraw and ceramic clay pots are the most appropriate technologies. Implementation of these technologies poses potential benefits in terms of cost effectiveness and economic growth. Although this paper focuses on northern Ghana as a case study, the methodology presented here can be readily extended to specific scenarios in other developing countries.

    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can.
