Dissolution kinetics of low grade complex copper ore in ammonia-ammonium chloride solution

The leaching kinetics of Tang-dan refractory low grade complex copper ore was investigated in ammonia-ammonium chloride solution.The concentration of ammonia and ammonium chloride,the ore particle size,the solid-to-liquid ratio and the temperature were chosen as parameters in the experiments.The results show that temperature,concentration of ammonia and ammonium chloride have favorable influence on the leaching rate of copper oxide ores.But,leaching rate decreases with increasing particle size and solid-to-liquid ratio.The leaching process is controlled by the diffusion of the lixiviant and the activation energy is determined to be 23.279 kJ/mol.An equation was also proposed to describe the leaching kinetics.

Effect of ultraviolet mutagenesis on heterotrophic strain mutation and bioleaching of low grade copper ore

The effect of ultraviolet mutagenesis on a heterotrophic strain(Providencia JAT-1) mutation was studied and bioleaching of low grade copper ore with mutant bacteria was investigated. The results show that the activity of bacteria was improved after ultraviolet mutagenesis; the best irradiation time was 120 s. Compared to the original bacteria, the cells density of mutant bacteria at stationary phase increased by 26% and ammonia produced by mutant bacteria increased by 12%. Higher activity of bacteria leads to a higher copper extraction rate. The bioleaching performance of Providencia JAT-1 was improved after UV mutagenesis. The copper extraction rate with mutant bacteria increased by 10.6% compared to the original bacteria. The ore surface was corroded and the fine particles were absent after bioleaching. Free copper oxide and copper silicates could be leached out easily by using JAT-1; a small part of the copper sulfide can also be leached out. Bioleaching using JAT-1 is more effective than ammonia leaching and copper extraction rate with mutant bacteria was 21.1% higher than that by ammonia leaching under the same condition.

Enhanced copper recovery from low grade copper sulfide ores through bioleaching using residues produced by fermentation of agricultural wastes

Effects of residues produced by agricultural wastes fermentation(AWF)on low grade copper sulfide ores bioleaching,copper recovery,and microbial community were investigated.The results indicated that adding appropriate bulk of AWF made contributions to low grade copper sulfide ores bioleaching,which may be mainly realized through reducing the passivation layer formed by Fe3+hydrolysis.Improved copper recovery(78.35%)and bacteria concentration(9.56×10^(7)cells·mL^(−1))were yielded in the presence of 5 g·L^(−1)AWF.The result of 16S rDNA analysis demonstrated that microbial community was differentiated by adding AWF.Bacteria proportion,such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,Moraxella osloensis,and Lactobacillus acetotolerans changed distinctly.Great difference between samples was showed according to beta diversity index,and the maximum value reached 0.375.Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans accounted for the highest proportion throughout the bioleaching process,and that of sample in the presence of 5 g·L^(−) AWF reached 28.63%.The results should show reference to application of agricultural wastes and low grade copper sulfide ores.

Acid equilibrium during bioleaching of alkaline low-grade sulfide copper ore

This article reports the study on acid equilibrium during bioleaching of alkaline low-grade copper sulfide ore. Adding auxiliary agents 1# （sulfur） and 2# （pyrite） makes bacterial leaching of copper and acid production carried out simultaneously because the auxiliary agents can be oxidized by bacteria and the oxidation products involve acid. The acid required for dissolving alkaline gangue during bacterial leaching is produced, and acid equilibrium is reached during the ore bio-leaching. The recovery of copper reaches more than 95%.

Effect of tempering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructure of an copper-bearing low carbon bainitic steel

The effect of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-high strength, copperbearing, low-carbon bainitic steel has been investigated in the experiment. The results showed that the microstructure was mainly the laths of bainite in the as-quenched steel. The bainitic laths were restored and combined after the steel tempered at various tempera- tures. There were rnartensite/austenite （M/A） islands and numerous dislocations within and between the bainitic laths, while very t-me precipitates of ε-Cu were also observed within the laths. With increasing the tempered temperature from 400 to 600℃, the yield strength （YS） increased from 877 to 957 MPa, whereas the ultimate tensile strength （UTS） decreased from 1020 to 985 MPa. The Charpy V-notch （CVN） varied from 68.5 to 42 J, and the value was minimal for the steel tempered at 500℃. 2008 University of Science and Technology Beijing. All rights reserved.

Catalytic effect of activated carbon on bioleaching of low-grade primary copper sulfide ores

The catalytic effect of activated carbon on the bioleaching of low-grade primary copper sulfide ores using mixture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans was investigated. The results show that the addition of activated carbon can greatly accelerate the rate and efficiency of copper dissolution from low-grade primary copper sulfide ores. The solution with the concentration of 3.0 g/L activated carbon is most beneficial to the dissolution of copper. The resting time of the mixture of activated carbon and ores has an impact on the bioleaching of low-grade primary copper sulfide ores. The 2 d resting time is most favorable to the dissolution of copper. The enhanced dissolution rate and efficiency of copper can be attributed to the galvanic interaction between activated carbon and chalcopyrite. The addition of activated carbon obviously depresses the dissolution of iron and the bacterial oxidation of ferrous ions in solution. The lower redox potentials are more favorable to the copper dissolution than the higher potentials for low-grade primary copper sulfide ores in the presence of activated carbon.

Optimization on selenium and arsenic conversion from copper anode slime by low-temperature alkali fusion process

A process was proposed to convert and separate selenium and arsenic in copper anode slime(CAS) by low-temperature alkali fusion process.Central composite design was employed to optimize the effective parameters,in which Na OH/CAS mass ratio,fusion temperature and fusion time were selected as variables,and the conversion ratio of selenium and arsenic as responses.Second-order polynomial models of high significance and 3D response surface plots were constructed to show the relationship between the responses and the variables.Optimum area of >90% selenium conversion ratio and >90% arsenic conversion ratio was obtained by the overlaid contours at Na OH/CAS mass ratio of 0.65-0.75,fusion temperature of 803-823 K and fusion time of 20-30 min.The models are validated by experiments in the optimum area,and the results demonstrate that these models are reliable and accurate in predicting the fusion process.

Low temperature H_2S sensor based on copper oxide/tin dioxide thick film

Nanostructured tin dioxide （SnO2） powders were prepared by a sol-gel dialytic process and and the doping of CuO on it was completed by a deposition-precipitation method.The thick film sensors were fabricated from the CuO/SnO2 polycrystalline powders.Sensing behavior of the sensor was investigated with various gases including CO,H2,NH3,hexane,acetone,ethanol,methanol and H2S in air.The as-synthesized gas sensor had much better response to H2S than to other gases.At the same time,the CuO/SnO2 sensor had enough sensitivity,together with fast response and recovery,to distinguish H2S from those gases at 160 and 210 ℃.Therefore,it might have promising applications in the future.

Low temperature soldering alloy using Sn63 Pb37 implantation of silica ceramics and copper solder assisted by ion and deposition

Copper ion implantation and deposition technique was applied as a pretreatment method for low temperature joining of silica ceramic （ SiO2 ） and copper alloy. The effect of copper ion implantation and deposition parameters on the microstructures and mechanical behavior of the soldering joints was investigated by scanning electron microscope （SEM） , X- ray diffraction （ XRD ） and shearing test. The copper implantation depth was about 90 nm with peak concentration of 70% for the SiO2 sample implanted for 90 rain. If copper film was deposited for 4 rain using magnetron sputtering, copper layer with thickness of 150 nm and peak concentration of 80% was obtained. After pretreatment of ion implantation and deposition, SiO2 and copper were joined successfully at low temperature directly using SnPb solder. The SnPb solder filling ratio along joining seams was up to 100% without defects with smooth soldering toes. With the increase of implantation dose, the shear strength of the Si02/Cu joints increases accordingly. After a special pretreatment on SiO2 （ Cu implantation for 30min, following Cu deposition for 4 rain, then Cu implantation for 60 rain and finally Cu deposition for 120 min） , a maximum soldering strength of 22 MPa was achieved, and the soldering joints fractured at the SiO2 base material.

Isothermal precipitation behavior of copper sulfide in ultra low carbon steel

Copper and sulfur are typical residual elements or impurity elements in steel.Sufficient removal of them during steelmaking process is difficult for copper and costly for sulfur.Utilization of copper and sulfur in steel, especially in steel scrap,has been an important issue for a long period for metallurgists.Copper and sulfur may combine to form copper sulfide,which may provide a prospect to avoid the detrimental effects of copper and sulfur in steel.Unfortunately the formation mechanism of copper sulfide in steel has not been completely clarified so far. In the present paper,solution treatment of samples containing copper and sulfur are firstly performed at 1623 K for 2.7×10~3 s followed by quenching into water.The samples are then isothermally heat-treated at 673 K,873 K, 1073 K,1273 K and 1373K for different time followed by quenching into water again.The size,morphology, constituent and crystallography of sulfide precipitates in these samples are investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and TEM equipped with EDS.Fine copper sulfides(less than 100 nm) are observed to coexist with silicon oxide in samples even isothermally heat-treated at 1 373 K for 1.44×10~4 s;Film-like copper sulfides are generally observed to co-exist with iron sulfide in all samples;Plate-like copper sulfides are observed especially in sample isothermally heat-treated at 1 073 K for 1.44×10~4 s.The formation mechanisms of these copper sulfides have been discussed.

Bifunctionality of Cu/ZnO catalysts for alcohol-assisted low-temperature methanol synthesis from syngas:Effect of copper content

Alcohol-assisted low-temperature methanol synthesis was conducted over Cu/ZnO;catalysts while varying the copper content（X）. Unlike conventional methanol synthesis, ethanol acted as both solvent and reaction intermediate in this reaction, creating a different reaction pathway. The formation of crystalline phases and characteristic morphology of the co-precipitated precursors during the co-precipitation step were important factors in obtaining an efficient Cu/ZnO catalyst with a high dispersion of metallic copper,which is one of the main active sites for methanol synthesis. The acidic properties of the Cu/ZnO catalyst were also revealed as important factors, since alcohol esterification is considered the rate-limiting step in alcohol-assisted low-temperature methanol synthesis. As a consequence, bifunctionality of the Cu/ZnO catalyst such as metallic copper and acidic properties was required for this reaction. In this respect, the copper content（X） strongly affected the catalytic activity of the Cu/ZnO;catalysts, and accordingly, the Cu/ZnO;.5 catalyst with a high copper dispersion and sufficient acid sites exhibited the best catalytic performance in this reaction.

Applications of Enzyme-simulating Copper Complex Catalyst in Low-temperature Scouring/Bleaching of Cotton Knits

An enzyme-stimulating catalyst( PTL) with copper ions( Cu^(2+)) as the activation center and aminophosphonate as ligand was developed and applied in low-temperature scouring/bleaching of cotton knits. The optimal weight ratio of Cu^(2+) to aminophosphonate was 1 ∶75. Via orthodox and single-factor experiments,the most efficient formula for low-temperature scouring/bleaching was composed of 0. 4 g/L high-efficiency degreaser DM-1130,1. 5 g/L PTL,2. 0 g/L sodium hydroxide( NaOH),and 7. 0 g/L 30% hydrogen peroxide( H_2O_2). The PTL could not only increase the whiteness of cotton knits,but also remove pectin to enhance capillary effect.

肝豆状核变性治疗现状与展望

肝豆状核变性(HLD)是由于ATP7B基因突变导致细胞内铜转运功能障碍,从而引起铜过度蓄积在各器官而导致的疾病。早期诊断和治疗可以改善HLD患者的预后,减少残疾和早期死亡。目前,治疗方法主要包括低铜饮食、药物治疗和肝移植。但低铜饮食并不能显著减少肠道上皮细胞铜吸收量且过度限制会造成正常组织细胞营养吸收障碍。现有的药物治疗方案经常面临患者依从性差、神经系统症状恶化等问题。肝移植的开展常因供体器官的短缺和终身免疫抑制治疗的需求而受限,而新疗法,如新型药物制剂、细胞治疗、基因治疗给HLD患者带来了新希望。

Xe^(23+)离子束轰击低温工况下的无氧铜表面解吸性能研究

强流重离子加速器运行时产生动态真空效应引起束流寿命缩短,需安装无氧铜束流准直器来降低该效应。为探究无氧铜材料在离子束轰击下的解吸性能,本工作设计并研制了满足低温工况的解吸率测试装置,在兰州重离子加速器国家实验室利用Xe^(23+)离子束完成了无氧铜温度在4.2 K、20 K、77 K和300 K,以及束流能量为0.58 MeV/u、0.96 MeV/u和1.3 MeV/u的在束试验。结果表明,离子束轰击无氧铜表面时解吸出最多的分子为H_(2),其次分别为H2O、CO、CO_(2)、Ar和O_(2);当温度为4.2 K、束流能量为0.58 MeV/u时无氧铜解吸出H2的比例为87.74%。在同一能量下,随着无氧铜表面温度的升高,解吸率呈增加趋势,能量为0.58 MeV/u时,4.2 K下无氧铜的解吸率仅为25 mol/ion,小于300 K时的600 mol/ion,表明温度越高其解吸产额越大。在同一温度下,随着束流能量的升高无氧铜表面解吸率增加,但增加趋势逐渐减缓,解吸产额趋向饱和。
