The behaviour of glass beads and polyethylene pellets as the extra bacteria support in the fine black shale ore in the column bed bioreactor was compared. Capillary rise experiments enabled the calculation of the contact angle and the surface free energy of glass beads and polyethylene pellets. The results showed that the support material made up of polyethylene pellets yielded a higher copper extraction, which could be explained by conditions favourable to cell adhesion on the polyethylene surface.

Currently there is a decline in the world’s nickel sulfide deposits, which are the main source of this metal. Due to the fact, that more than 70% of nickel reserves are in the form of oxide ores, more attention is nowadays paid on laterites. Leaching processes using different organic acids are widely described in the literature, but there is a lack of works linking influence of leaching process with the surface area and particle size distribution. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to examine how citric acid produced by microorganisms and citric acid added as chemical affected the specific surface and particle size distribution of mineral particles. The laterite ore was obtained from Szklary deposit, Poland. This study also compared the effect of chemical citric acid and filtrate after cultivation of Aspergillus niger on nickel extraction. It was observed that higher nickel recovery correspond to higher surface area of particles. The highest yield of nickel extraction was observed for a citric acid concentration of 1 mol/dm3 (67%). The specific surface area after leaching was 159 m2/g. An analysis of particle size distribution showed increase in the median particle size of particles after leaching with citric acid. It may suggest that dissolution of Polish laterites follows a shrinking core-shrinking particle model.

The assurance of the electromagnetic compatibility of sensitive smart metering systems and power electronic converters, which introduce high-level electromagnetic interference is important factor conditioning reliable operation of up to date power systems. Presented experimental results have shown that currently binding, frequency domain tests are ineffective for the evaluation of data transmission error hazards. The proposed in this paper mathematical, time-domain model, based on Diophantine equation, enables evaluation of data transmission errors caused by interference introduced by DC-DC power electronic interfaces with deterministic modulation. In the paper there have been presented possible application areas for the proposed model.

In this study the role of PEG and PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers molecular weight in precipitation of calcium carbonate was examined. The CaCO3 particles were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray, SEM and particle size distribution analysis. In absence and presence of modifiers, mixing of the reagents led to the formation of calcite crystals. The calcium carbonate obtained with poly(ethylene glycol) and block copolymers was characterized by smaller diameter in comparison with the one without modifiers. It was observed that using compounds with different molecular weights has no obvious effect on the form and properties of precipitated calcium carbonate particles.

Bioługowanie rud na hałdzie stało się komercyjnym procesem, pozwalającym na odzysk metalu z ubogich surowców mineralnych. Proces bioługowania prowadzony na hałdzie jest uzależniony od czynników mikrobiologicznych, chemicznych i hydrodynamicznych. W pracy zostały przedstawione wyniki testów prowadzonych w kolumnie z upakowanym złożem, zawierającym rudę i dodatki. Ustalony został wpływ różnych dodatków (piryt, siarka, szkło i polietylen) na stopień odzysku miedzi z rudy łupkowej. Do badań zostały użyte bakterie Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, pochodzące z własnej kolekcji. Bakterie były hodowane na dwóch pożywkach – 2K i 9K. Surowcem użytym w badaniach był odpad z pierwszego czyszczenia, pochodzący z Zakładu Wzbogacania Rud Lubin. Materiał ten zawierał najwięcej minerałów wchodzących w skład rudy łupkowej. Doświadczenia przeprowadzono, stosując różne ilości dodatków do złoża rudy, znajdującej się w kolumnie. Badania wskazały na istotną rolę, jaką odgrywa immobilizacja (unieruchomienie) komórek bakteryjnych na powierzchni ciał stałych w procesie bioługowania. Określony został wpływ warunków hydrodynamicznych istniejących w porowatym złożu na odzysk miedzi. W optymalnych warunkach odzysk miedzi przekroczył 70% po 14 dniach prowadzenia procesu bioługowania.

Heap bioleaching is a well establish commercial process for metal recovery from low-grade ores. Bioleaching process carried out in the heap is influenced by microbiological, chemical, and hydrodynamic factors. In this paper, the column tests data are presented. The effect of various additives (pyrite, sulphur, glass, and polyethylene) to the black ore on the copper recovery during the black shale bioleaching has been evaluated. For the bacteria growth two different media (2K and 9K) were used. The ore material selected for the bioleaching experiments was taken from the industrial flotation circuit (middlings from 1st cleaning) from Lubin Concentrator. The bioleaching tests were conducted with different amounts of additives which were added to the column packed with black shale ore. These experiments reveal that the microbial cells immobilization has an effect on the copper recovery. The role of hydrodynamic conditions in porous media is also described in the context of copper recovery. Under the optimal conditions, the extraction of copper was obtained more than 70% in 14 days, which is better than bioleaching without additives.

The objective of the present study is to assess the efficiency of fly ash and fly ash agglomerates to remove arsenic(III) from aqueous solution. The maximum static uptakes were achieved to be 13.5 and 5.7 mgAs(III)/adsorbent for nonagglomerated material and agglomerated one, respectively. Isotherm studies showed good fit with the Langmuir (fly ash) and the Freundlich (fly ash agglomerates) isotherm models. Kinetic studies indicated that the sorption of arsenic on fly ash and its agglomerates follows the pseudo-second-order (PSO) chemisorption model (R2 = 0.999). Thermodynamic parameters revealed an endothermic nature of As(III) adsorption on such adsorbents. The adsorption results confirmed that fly ash and its agglomerates can be used for As(III) removal from aqueous solutions. Fly ash can adsorb more arsenic(III) than agglomerates, which are easier to use, because this material is less dusty and easier to separate from solution.

Rozdział mieszaniny woda-etanol ma duże znaczenie dla wielu gałęzi przemysłu. Powszechnie stosowane techniki rozdziału tego układu posiadają szereg wad. Jedną z alternatyw jest proces perwaporacji. W celu upowszechnienia stosowalności perwaporacji podjęto próbę modelowania wspomnianego układu. W tym celu wykorzystano model Flory-Hugginsa, I prawo Ficka oraz metody CFD. Otrzymane wyniki pozwoliły ocenić wpływ polaryzacji na transport masy w perwaporacji.

Separation of water-ethanol mixture is of great significance for many branches of industry. Separation techniques commonly used to separate above-mentioned mixture have many drawbacks. Pervaporation is one of alternatives. To make this process more applicable a mathematical model was created. The Flory-Huggins theory, first Fick's law and CFD methods were used in this model. Modeling results enable one to asses the influence of concentration polarization on mass transfer in pervaporation.

In this study, the adsorption of surfactant onto the magensite rock and the oil agglomeration of this mineral in aqueous suspension were investigated. The various concentration ratios of cationic and anionic surfactant were used. The results were evaluated by the recovery of carbonates in agglomerates. It was found that the process selectivity was highly dependent on the surfactants concentration ratio, pH, and the amount of salt added. The best separation of quartz from magnesite rock was observed at pH 9. The addition of larger quantity of sodium oleate (15.2 mg/gsolid) led to the increase of carbonates content in agglomerates up to 32.4%. However, the largest carbonates recovery was in the presence of 6.0 mg/gsolid of NaOl.

In this study, the role of polymer in precipitation has been examined by studying the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the formation of calcium carbonate particles. The CaCO3 particles were characterized by several techniques, such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, and particle size distribution analysis. In the absence of polymer, the mixing of reagents in an aqueous solution led to the formation of calcite crystals. Introduction of poly(ethylene glycol) molecules reduced the rate of crystallization process, and the effect was concentration dependent. In the presence of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 % of PEG, after 5 minutes of precipitation initiation, vaterite microspheres appeared in the system and which were transformed into calcite crystals after 24 hours. The calcium carbonate obtained with PEG was characterized by smaller sized particles in comparison with the ones without polymer.

Content available remote Flotation of serpentinite and quartz using biosurfactants
EN
Biosurfactants produced by Bacillus circulans and Streptomyces sp. were used for biomodification of both serpentinite and quartz surfaces. The biosurfactants produced by bacteria possess the ability to decrease the surface tension of water from 72 to 28.6 mNm-1 (Bacillus circulans) and to 29.3 mNm-1 (Streptomyces sp.). This paper demonstrated biomodification of quartz and serpentinite surfaces by the biosurfactants adsorption. The effect of biosurfactants adsorption onto mineral surface properties was investigated by microflotation. Additionally, IR-ATR spectroscopy was used for characterisation of the biomodificated surfaces of quartz and serpentinite. Flotation experiments indicated that these biosurfactants effectively changed the properties of mineral surfaces and the separation of minerals can be realized.

The influence of adsorption and co-adsorption of PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers (Pluronics) as well as surfactants on the zeta potential of magnesite and dolomite aqueous suspension are addressed here. Four Pluronics of various molecular weight were used in these studies. They have been mixed with cationic (CTAB) or anionic (SDS) surfactants. The adsorption isotherms of copolymers and copolymer-surfactant mixture onto magnesite and dolomite have been determined. The adsorbed amount of Pluronics increases with the increasing concentration and reaches plateau. An increase in the adsorbed amounts of both cationic and anionic surfactants onto the mineral surfaces (magnesite and dolomite) has been observed in the presence of Pluronic copolymers. A positive nature of zeta potential was observed in the presence of cationic surfactant, except magnesite without or with a low CTAB concentration. However, an attendant copolymer causes a decrease of zeta potential due to the deformation of an electrical double layer, comparing the presence of an individual cationic surfactant. The adsorbed non-ionic Pluronic layer partially screens the surface charge of mineral particles, and thus, reduces the zeta potential. On the other hand, the adsorption of anionic surfactant and copolymer caused a decrease in the negative value of the zeta potential of both investigated minerals due to increased SDS adsorption. The viscosity measurements were also performed to determine the thickness of adsorbed layer.

Black shale ore, originating from a copper mine near Lubin, Poland, was bioleached in columns, using autotrophic bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The best copper recovery (84%) was obtained after 25 days of bioleaching. The kinetics of the bioleaching of copper bearing black shale ores was described using model equations based on changes of the surface area a of the leached ore. An average increase of surface area for ore particles was from 4.02 m2/g to 13.94 m2/g. It was found that the kinetics of the first stage of the process has an exponential character, whilst kinetics of the final stage is strongly limited by the character of the system. It was shown that the data obtained for the black shale ores fit to the model proposed in this study.
