Cooperative effect of sodium lauryl sulfate collector and sodium pyrophosphate depressant on the flotation separation of lead oxide minerals from hematite

As a cornerstone of the national economy,the iron and steel industry generates a significant amount of sintering dust containing both valuable lead resources and deleterious elements.Flotation is a promising technique for lead recovery from sintering dust,but efficient separation from Fe_(2)O_(3) is still challenging.This study investigated the cooperative effect of sodium lauryl sulfate(SLS,C_(12)H_(25)SO_(4)Na)and sodium pyrophosphate(SPP,Na_(4)P_(2)O_(7))on the selective flotation of lead oxide minerals(PbOHCl and PbSO_(4))from hematite(Fe_(2)O_(3)).Optimal flotation conditions were first identified,resulting in high recovery of lead oxide minerals while inhibiting Fe_(2)O_(3) flotation.Zeta potential measurements,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR)analysis,adsorption capacity analysis,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)studies offer insights into the adsorption behaviors of the reagents on mineral surfaces,revealing strong adsorption of SLS on PbOHCl and PbSO_(4) surfaces and remarkable adsorption of SPP on Fe_(2)O_(3).The proposed model of reagent adsorption on mineral surfaces illustrates the selective adsorption behavior,highlighting the pivotal role of reagent adsorption in the separation process.These findings contribute to the efficient and environmentally friendly utilization of iron ore sintering dust for lead recovery,paving the way for sustainable resource management in the iron and steel industry.

Glassy carbon electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes sensor for the quantihication of antihistamine drug pheniramine in solubilized systems

A sensitive electroanalytical method for quantification of pheniramine in pharmaceutical formulation has been investigated on the basis of the enhanced electrochemical response at glassy carbon electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate.The experimental results suggest that the phcniramine in anionic surfactant solution exhibits electrocatalytic effect resulting in a marked enhancement of the peak current response.Peak current response is linearly dependent on the concentration of pheniramine in the range 200-1500 μg/mL with correlation coefficient 0.9987.The limit of detection is 58.31 μg/m L.The modified electrode shows good sensitivity and repeatability.

Cytotoxic effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate on human keratinocytes are not associated with proinflammatory cytokines expression

Background Keratinocytes play a crucial role in the biological function of skin barrier.The relationship between sodium lauryl sulfate （SLS） and keratinocytes has been studied.However,the cytotoxicity and effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate （SDBS）,a common detergent similar to SLS,on keratinocytes are still not known.This study aimed to investigate the effects of SDBS on cytotoxicity and expression of proinflammatory cytokines in cultured human keratinocytes.Methods This study was carried out using the keratinocytes cell line,HaCaT cells.The cytotoxicity of SDBS on HaCaT cells was evaluated with cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） and phase-contrast microscopy.After exposure to different concentrations of SDBS,the total RNA of the HaCaT cells was extracted for evaluating the relative mRNA expression of IL-1α,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α by qPCR.The supernatants of cells were collected for measuring the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.Results SDBS at concentrations of 20 Jg/ml and over showed direct cytotoxicity and induced morphological changes of the HaCaT cells.The mRNA expressions of IL-1a,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α in different concentrations of SDBS at different time were comparable with that of controls.SDBS at concentrations of 5,10,and 15 μg/ml had no significant effects on IL-6 and IL-8 excretion from HaCaT cells after 24-hour exposure.Moreover,no significant effects on the IL-6 and IL-8 excretion were found after 10 and 15 μg/ml S DBS stimulations for 6,12,and 24 hours,respectively.Conclusion SDBS at higher concentrations had cytotoxicity on HaCaT cells but had no effects on the mRNA expression of IL-1α,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α,that was different from SLS.
