Silicon carbide dendrite (micrometer size) is produced by carbothermic reduction of rice husk ash in an arc plasma. Transmission electron microscopy reveals the occurrence of equispaced primary arms (60-70 nm in length) ...

Hydrocyclone is a key unit operation in mineral-processing industry for beneficiation of mineral values that uses centrifugal force to separate materials by density or size. The optimization of different operating parameters ...

Flotation studies of non-coking coal using two non-conventional collectors, namely Polanga and Mahua oil, containing both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are investigated. The effect of oil concentration, surface ...

This paper reports the facile synthesis of vanadium phosphate (VPO) by the decomposition of VOHPO(4)center dot 0.5H(2)O which was prepared by reduction of dihydrate VOPO(4)center dot 2H(2)O with isobutanol. The material ...

To identify and establish beneficiation techniques for banded hematite quartzite (BHQ) iron ore, a comprehensive research on BHQ ore treatment was carried out. The BHQ ore was assayed as 38.9wt% Fe, 42.5wt% SiO(2), and ...
