    Evaluation of the Use of Recycled Vegetable Oil As a Collector Reagent in the Flotation of Copper Sulfide Minerals Using Seawater

    recycling Article Evaluation of the Use of Recycled Vegetable Oil as a Collector Reagent in the Flotation of Copper Sulfide Minerals Using Seawater Felipe Arcos and Lina Uribe * School of Mining Engineering, University of Talca, Talca 3460000, Chile; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +56-220-1798 Abstract: Considering sustainable mining, the use of seawater in mineral processing to replace conventional water is an attractive alternative, especially in cases where this resource is limited. However, the use of this aqueous medium generates a series of challenges; specifically, in the seawater flotation process, it is necessary to adapt traditional reagents to the aqueous medium or to propose new reagents that achieve better performance and are environmentally friendly. In this research, the technical feasibility of using recycled vegetable oil (RVO) as a collector of copper sulfide minerals in the flotation process using seawater was studied. The study considered the analysis of the metallurgical indexes when different concentrations of collector and foaming reagent were used, considering as collectors the RVO, potassium amyl xanthate (PAX) and mixtures of these, in addition to the methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) as foaming agent. In addition, it was evidenced that the best metallurgical indexes were achieved using 40 g/t of RVO and 15 g/t of MIBC, which corresponded to an enrichment ratio of 6.29, a concentration ratio of 7.01, a copper recovery of 90.06% and a selectivity index with respect to pyrite of 4.03 and with respect to silica of 12.89. Finally, in relation to the study of the RVO and PAX collector mixtures, it was found that a mixture of 60 g/t of RVO and 40 g/t of PAX in the absence of foaming agent presented the best results in terms of copper recovery (98.66%) and the selectivity index with respect to pyrite (2.88) and silica (14.65), improving Citation: Arcos, F.; Uribe, L.

When assessing the benefits of biofuels, they are compared to the fossil fuels they replace. In the framework of the European Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive, this is done by comparing the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biofuels to a ‘fossil comparator’. This fossil comparator is based on the average greenhouse gas intensity of fossil fuels brought on the EU transportation market. Unconventional oils such as extra heavy oil and bitumen (tar sands), kerogen oil (oil shale), light tight oil (shale oil), deep sea oil and synthetic products such as gas-to-liquids and coal-to-liquids, typically have higher carbon footprints than conventional oil mainly because the effort required to extract, refine and/or synthesize them is much larger than for conventional oil. As the share of these unconventional oil-based fuels gradually rises in the total fuel supply over time, the greenhouse gas footprint of the average fuel consumption also rises. Even for conventional oil production fields, because larger existing fields get depleted, the extraction efforts increase while smaller fields are taken in operation.

The aim was to replace the buffalo white fat with the different levels of vegetable oils (Canola oil, Safflower oil and olive oil) to make a product healthier for human beings as the taken vegetable oils contain good amount of monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols and polyphenols. As the problems related to overdose of saturated fat become prevalent in the society particularly in urban people viz., cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis), type-2 diabetes mellitus, polycystic ovary etc. Three samples with each vegetable oil were prepared by taking 15%, 20% and 25% substitution level in the laboratory. The fermentation of Buffalo meat sausage was performed with the bacterial strains of Lactobacillus plantarum MTCC 1407 and Lactobacillus brevis MTCC1750 in the batch process at 22°C temperature for 48 hrs.

  • Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe

    Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe

    CBI Product Factsheet: Emerging vegetable oils in Europe CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction The drive for innovation in the European food industry leads companies to adopt new ingredients in order to remain competitive. The introduction of new vegetable oils (emerging oils), either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge. On the other side of the coin, exporters of emerging oils still face a number of challenges to access the European market successfully. Whereas the Novel Food Regulation imposes marketing restrictions on a number of innovative products, some barriers to suppliers are often related to issues such as supply sufficiency and stability. At the same time, emerging oils also provide opportunities in terms of niche marketing and value adding propositions. Understanding the European market for emerging vegetable oils Innovation is high on the agenda of food manufacturers in Europe, significantly in North-Western Europe. In order to remain competitive, companies invest heavily in Research & Development (R&D), with the goal of adapting products to ever-changing consumer preferences, food health and safety requirements and introducing novelty into the food market. A large part of this strategy consists in finding new ingredient solutions. Vegetable oils are an integral part of several food products and, as such, are an interesting basis for product development. The introduction of new vegetable oils, either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge.
