There are difficulties to the conventional depressant for achieving separation of scheelite from calcite for the sake of their similar surface properties. The paper reported that a new depressant quinic acid (QA) was used for separating scheelite from calcite. The adsorption experiments, zeta potential experiment, contact angle, FTIR, XPS analysis and crystal chemistry analysis were utilized to known the depression mechanism of selectivity. The results showed that the recovery of calcite decreased drastically after QA added, whereas hardly influenced on scheelite. The tungsten concentrate could reach 66.24% WO3 grade and 89.46% recovery with 1.5×10-4 mol•L-1 QA at pH=9. The surface adsorption quantity of the QA on calcite was much greater than scheelite, which enhanced significantly the hydrophilicity of calcite surface. Due to its negative charge, QA could be adsorbed on the surface of calcite which had positive charge instead of that of scheelite with negative charge. Subsequently, free carboxyl groups of QA could chelated with Ca2+ species on the calcite surface to form stable chemical adsorption in order to prevent the Pb-BHA to form further adsorption on that, so there was no increase significantly on hydrophobicity. However, QA was obviously weak for adsorbing while Pb-BHA which could still be chemically adsorbed on scheelite surface of pre-treated with QA.

It is known that the flotation separation of scheelite and calcite is quite difficult due to their similar surface properites. To slove the problem, ethylenediaminetetra (methylene phosphonic acid) sodium (EDTMPS), an environmentally friendly reagent, was employed as an efficient depressant for flotation separation of calcite for the first time. In flotation experiments, it demonstrates that EDTMPS could strongly inhibit the flotation of calcite but barely affect the flotaiton behavior of scheelite, showing excellent dpress ability and selectivity. Based on a series of measurements including contact angle analysis, zeta potential, and XPS analysis, it was found that large amout of EDTMPS could be absorbed on the surface of calcite through strong chemical chelation reaction and thus inhibiting the further adsorption of NaOL. On the contrary, little EDTMPS was absorbed on that of scheelite owing to the negatively charged tungstate ions on the surface in relative terms. All in all, these results exhibit EDTMPS has excellent selective inhibition ability on calcite, which can be potentially applied in actual scheelite and calcite flotation separation process.

Diethylenetriaminepenta (methylene-phosphonic acid) pentasodium salt (DTPMPA), an eco-friendly reagent, was tried for the first time as a depressant for flotation separation of scheelite from calcite. Micro-flotation tests show that DTPMPA can selectively depress the floatability of calcite. In contrast, DTPMPA barely affects the flotation behavior of scheelite. Based on the selective depress effect, floatation separation of scheelite and calcite can be effectively achieved by using DTPMPA as depressant in artificially mixed minerals flotation tests. Based on a series of measurements, it found the surface of calcite was positively charged due to the existence of Ca ion site, which can be chelated with -PO3H- functional group on the surface of DTPMPA. In the flotation process, DTPMPA can be chemically absorbed on the surface of calcite to inhibit further collector adsorption. On contrast, little DTPMPA was adsorbed on the surface of scheelite due to the spatial site resistance and electrostatic repulsion induced by surface WO42+. All in all, these results exhibit DTPMPA has excellent selective depression ability on calcite, which can be potentially applied in the actual scheelite flotation process.

In this study, the effect of MnCl2 on scheelite flotation with sodium oleate (NaOL) as a collector and sodium silicate as a depressant was assessed by a combination of flotation experiments, Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and solution chemistry. The flotation experiments confirmed that the addition of MnCl2 before sodium silicate showed an adverse effect on flotation and the recovery of scheelite gradually decreased as the amount of MnCl2 was increased. When MnCl2 was added afte r sodium silicate, the recovery of scheelite gradually increased with an increase in the amount of MnCl2. The results of FTIR, XPS, and solution chemistry indicated that MnCl2 acted on the surface of scheelite in the form of manganese ions. When MnCl2 was added before sodium silicate, manganese ions adsorbed on the surface of scheelite reacted with sodium silicate to form a hydrophilic silicate, which covers the surface of scheelite and blocks the adsorption of NaOL. However, when MnCl2 was added after sodium silicate, manganese ions are continued to be adsorbed on the surface of scheelite, which increases the cations on the surface of scheelite, and hence the condition becomes conducive for the interaction between scheelite and NaOL.

The depressing properties of sodium polyacrylate (PA-Na) for calcite from scheelite were studied by microflotation experiments, zeta potentials, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Flotation results revealed that the selective depression effect of PA-Na was better than that of sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), and PA-Na can depress calcite more effectively than scheelite. The flotation recovery of scheelite and calcite kept at about 75% and 15% respectively at the pulp pH 9.3~9.6 and PA-Na concentration from 37.5 mg/dm3 to 50 mg/dm3. The zeta potentials of the minerals were significantly altered and the zeta potential of calcite became more negative than scheelite. XPS analysis deduced the occurrence of chemisorption between PA-Na and mineral surfaces, and the chemisorption of PA-Na on calcite was stronger than on scheelite. The results from DFT calculation demonstrated that the absolute value of the adsorption energy in the presence of PA-Na on the surface of calcite {104} was larger than on the surface of scheelite {111}. With the combination of the analysis, it could be concluded that calcite was more easily depressed than scheelite, and this finding remarkably matched with the microflotation experimental results. Furthermore, by using PA-Na as depressant, the flotation separation of scheelite from calcite can be achieved by controlling the flotation pH and PA-Na dosage.

Detailed morphologic studies of detrital scheelite and gold grains from clastic Cenozoic sediments (alluvial and eluvial-colluvial) in two selected areas of the Lower Silesia region allowed to describe their specific features (size, roundness, lustre, and lack or remnants of primary intergrowths with other minerals). It allows estimating length of hydrodynamic transport and distance from the source area. Such features are also an important tool in determining the source of ore mineralization and to establish the parent area for detrital accumulations. Moreover, electron microprobe (EMPA) investigation of detrital gold allowed to recognized internal structure and chemical composition of placer gold grains. The grains commonly revealed zonal structures due to chemical supergene gold mobility recognized nearly in all studied pan-concentrate samples.

The paper concerns building up one exhaust valve of composite-steel and two intake ceramics-steel valves of a hypothetical adiabatic engine. The input temperatures were computed using three diverse FORTRAN95 programs, solving a shortened optical integral equation with radiative transfer, transient differential equation while starting and switching off the engine and a rod like diff. Equation with 'progonka' (Thomas) solution. The ANSYS11 programme was fed up with the output of the programs. It turns out that, generally, a mineralogical, crystal-chemical approach to the joining of materials results in stresses known from the common metal engines. Such problems as CTE enhancing (partly hypothetical) by means of doping the anionic compounds by cationic ones, swelling of structures, compressibility versus coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) , compatibility of crystal motifs while joining, thermal shock resistance, switching the bonds, mechanical longevity, radiation protection etc were addressed. It turns out that true nature of the temperature and stress field, especially of the exhaust valve is closer to the FORTRAN temperature computation than, e.g. From the heat film coefficients (ANSYS11).
