These data have been utilized during studies of black shale depositional environments and to construct phosphate deposit models. The compiled data have been edited for consistency and additional location information has been added where possible. The database of compiled phosphate information is being released in two sections; the geologic data in one section and the location and mineral economic data in the second. This report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report OF02–156–B contains commodity, location, and mineral economic data and is best used with the complimentary geologic data contained in OF02–156–A.

  • Fundamental Surface Chemistry and Froth Flotation Behavior Using Quebracho Tannins

    Fundamental Surface Chemistry and Froth Flotation Behavior Using Quebracho Tannins

    FUNDAMENTAL SURFACE CHEMISTRY AND FROTH FLOTATION BEHAVIOR USING QUEBRACHO TANNINS by Jordan Rutledge A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Metallurgical and Materials Engineering). Golden, Colorado Date _____________________ Signed: _______________________ Jordan Rutledge Signed: _______________________ Dr. Corby G. Anderson Thesis Advisor Golden, CO Date __________________ Signed:________________________ Dr. Angus Rockett Professor and Head Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering ii ABSTRACT With an increasing emphasis on minimizing the impact and downstream treatment of metallurgical processes, a focus on utilizing less harmful and easier to handle reagents is occurring. Tannins, a naturally occurring, non-toxic reagent, have shown promise in metallurgical and mineral processing applications. This research was performed to investigate the use of tannins (specifically two types of quebracho: Tupasol ATO and Tupafin ATO) in the froth flotation process as a depressant for gangue minerals. Two ore types, copper and fluorite, were researched. The primary gangue mineral of interest was calcite for the fluorite ore, while it was pyrite for the copper ore. Surface chemistry studies including zeta potential, adsorption density, and microflotation were undertaken to provide fundamental knowledge about the behavior of tannins interacting with the mineral surface. Adsorption studies indicate that the mechanism for Tupasol ATO adsorption onto calcite and fluorite surfaces is chemisorption, as an increase in adsorption occurred with increasing temperature. The same adsorption behavior is true for Tupafin ATO adsorption onto pyrite surfaces, although Tupafin ATO adsorption did not increase with increasing temperature onto chalcopyrite surfaces, suggesting the adsorption mechanism may be physical.

Chitil, J.A. Innes, and C.G. Jonker Kloeckner CRA, West Germany Tlu* use of widely available low-cost bituminous coal in steelmaking to compete with coke-based or electricity-based processes was adopted by the Kloeckner-CRA joint venture as the basis of technology development in the steel industry. This led to the introduction of the Allothermic converter and steelmaking processes such as KMS and KS, which permit the partial and full replacement of hot metal by scrap in steelmaking. These processes feature the pneumatic injection of coal into an OBM converter, in which part of the coal energy is used for melting and part is converted into a gas of medium calorific value. This gas is used to replace natural gas or oil requirements in existing steel plants. Post-combustion of the gas in the converter itself is a major tool in increasing the proportion of available energy in coal for melting purposes.

Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria TREATMENT OF LIQUID EFFLUENT FROM URANIUM MINES AND MILLS IAEA, VIENNA, 2004 IAEA-TECDOC-1419 ISBN 92–0–112304–3 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2004 Printed by the IAEA in Austria October 2004 FOREWORD Increased environmental awareness has made control and treatment of liquid effluents generated during mining and processing an integral part of all uranium operations, both during production and reclamation/decommissioning. Their potential to negatively impact aquatic ecosystems and drinking water resources necessitates that all effluents either be recycled back to processing circuits for reuse or treated prior to disposal or release to the environment. Uranium production occurs in diverse physical and climatic settings, which, when combined with different production technologies, necessitate unique combinations of effluent control and treatment. However, though each uranium operation has unique environmental protection issues, they also share many problems in common. Therefore, in 1996, the IAEA initiated a coordinated research project (CRP) to facilitate exchange of ideas and experience among Member States in the expanding field of control and treatment of liquid effluents generated by uranium production facilities. During their production phase, uranium mining and processing operations typically use active liquid effluent treatment.
