Complex sulfide ores are usually found as a mixture of various sulfide and gangue minerals, and froth flotation is the predominant method for the selective separation of sulfide minerals. Adherence and contact between sulfide minerals are inevitable during froth flotation, and galvanic interactions between sulfide minerals will occur because of differences in rest potentials. However, the effect of these galvanic interactions on the selective flotation of sulfide minerals have been rarely studied. In this work, the effect of the galvanic interaction between pyrite and sphalerite on the flotation behavior and surface characteristics of pyrite was investigated by micro-flotation tests, collector adsorption tests, electrochemical techniques and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) surface analysis. The micro-flotation tests indicated that the floatability of pyrite decreased in the pH range of 4.0 to 9.5 and increased under strongly alkaline pH conditions (pH > 10) due to the galvanic interaction. The collector adsorption results demonstrated that the adsorption capacity of the collector on the pyrite surface was significantly reduced because of the galvanic interaction between pyrite and sphalerite. The electrochemical measurements revealed that the decrease in the oxidation current of xanthates to dixanthogen was responsible for the decreasing adsorption capacity of the collector on the pyrite surface. The XPS results indicated that the formation of the S"O$ "% oxidation product on the pyrite surface decreased at a strongly alkaline pH due to the galvanic interaction. Therefore, pyrite floatability improved at an alkaline pH. These results consistently showed that the galvanic interaction between pyrite and sphalerite had an important influence on the floatability and surface characteristics of pyrite.

PIV technology was used to investigate the influence of the particles’ relevant parameters on the instantaneous movement characteristics in the sandblast cylinder under the circumstance of different particle sizes, different section heights and different stacking conditions. As the diameter increased, particles had a greater velocity and energy when approaching the wall, which would cause a serious abrasion. The influence of test selection factors on the particles’ radial velocity of particles was greater than that on axial velocity. The radial velocity and axial velocity on the surface of the cylindrical section were all reduced to a lower level when the particles approach the tank wall. When r > 0.3 R, the particle velocity maintained at a higher level, but then decreased slowly when r > 0.7 R. Therefore, the abrasion of the conical section of the sandblast cylinder when r > 0.3 R should be paid more attention to.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of particle size on the oxidation and flotation behavior of galena particles. Coarse (-0.074+0.038 mm), intermediate (-0.038+0.025 mm) and fine (-0.025 mm) galena particles were used in this study. Dissolution tests demonstrated that the amount of oxidation products increased with the decrease of particle sizes. The surface oxidization of galena was the greatest at pH 7.3, followed by pH 12 and 9, which were consist with the result of XPS. The micro-flotation results indicated that the effect of pH on the flotation recovery of galena enhanced with the reduction of particle sizes. The decreasing of particle sizes increases both the sorption rate of collector and the dissolution of galena, while the generation of hydrophilic product caused by dissolution is dominant, rendering the mineral hydrophilic. This study shows the differences in the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of different size fractions of galena particles. To promote the flotation recovery of the fine size fraction of galena particles, alleviating their oxidation is the key.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a HPLC-MS/MS assay to determine the lutein concentration in plasma samples of human and SD rats. Organic solvent was used for lutein extraction. The extract was injected into a HPLC-MS/MS system. Reversed phase chromatography was performed on a C18 column in gradient mode. Lutein and internal standard (phenytoin sodium) were identified in atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mode using ion transitions of m/z 567.5>549.4 and 205.2>110.8, respectively. The lutein quantification assay was linear over concentrations ranging from 4 to 500 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantification was 4 ng/mL with satisfactory precision and accuracy. The assay presented acceptable intra and inter-batch precision (RSD%) and accuracy (RE%) <8.16% in SD rat plasma and <12.80% in human plasma. The extraction recovery ranged from 50.94 to 60.90% in SD rat plasma and 68.73% in human plasma. The matrix effect for lutein was acceptable and had minimal influence on the results. The method was then applied to determine the lutein concentrations in human plasma after a single oral dose of 20mg lutein. The method described is rapid, selective, sensitive and reproducible. This method can be used for both pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring purposes.
