The inadvertent dissolution of gangue minerals is frequently detrimental to the flotation of valuable minerals. We investigated the effect of conditioning time on the separation of brucite and serpentine by flotation. By analyzing the Mg2+ concentration, relative element content, and pulp viscosity, we studied the effect of mineral dissolution on brucite flotation. The results of artificially mixed mineral flotation tests (with −10 μm serpentine) showed that by extending the conditioning time from 60 to 360 s, a large amount of Mg2+ on the mineral surface gradually dissolved into the pulp, resulting in a decreased brucite recovery (from 83.83% to 76.79%) and an increased recovery of serpentine from 52.12% to 64.03%. To analyze the agglomeration behavior of brucite and serpentine, we used scanning electron microscopy, which clearly showed the different adhesion behaviors of different conditioning times. Lastly, the total interaction energy, as determined based on the extended DLVO (Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek) theory, also supports the conclusion that the gravitational force between brucite and serpentine increases significantly with increased conditioning time.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) hinder corrosive elements by forming a double layer and locking them between its layers. Hence, LDHs are interesting materials in corrosion inhibition. In this work, Zn–Mg-based LDHs are grown over a copper substrate by us
In this study, Mg–9Al–1Si–1SiC (wt％) composites were processed by multi-pass equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at vari-ous temperatures, and their microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanism were explored. Results showed that the as-cast micr

Mica was used as a supporting matrix for composite phase change materials (PCMs) in this work because of its distinctive morpho-logy and structure. Composite PCMs were prepared using the vacuum impregnation method, in which mica served as the supporting m
The present study initially investigates the kinetics of microwave-assisted grinding and flotation in a porphyry copper deposit. Kinetic tests were conducted on untreated and microwave-irradiated samples by varying the exposure time from 15 to 150 s. Opti
To investigate the oxidation behavior of a nickel-based superalloy with high hafnium content (1.34wt％), this study performed iso-thermal oxidation tests at 900, 1000, and 1100℃ for up to 200 h. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energ
Graphene oxide (GO) wrapped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by coating the Fe3O4 NPs with a SiO2 layer, and then modifying by amino groups, which interact with the GO nanosheets to form covalent bonding. The SiO2 coating layer plays a key role in
