Role of the substrate on Ni inhibition in biological sulfate reduction.
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 08-2022
DOI: 10.1016/J.JENVMAN.2022.115216
Abstract: In treating mine-impacted waters using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), metal inhibition and substrate selection are important factors affecting the efficiency of the bioprocess. This work investigated the role of the substrate (i.e. lactate, formate, glycerol and glucose) on Ni inhibition to SRB with sulfate-reducing activity tests at initial pH 5, 7 and 9 and 100 mg/L of Ni. Results indicated that the type of substrate was a significant factor affecting Ni inhibition in SRB, which was the most negligible in the lactate system, followed by glycerol, glucose, and formate. Although less significant, Ni inhibition also varied with the pH, leading for instance, to a reduction of 77% in the sulfate reducing activity for the formate system, but only of 28% for lactate at pH 5. The added substrate also influenced the precipitation kinetics and the characteristics of the precipitates, reaching Ni precipitation extents above 95%, except for glucose (83.2%).

Literature Review and Thermodynamic Modelling of Roasting Processes for Lithium Extraction from Spodumene
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 30-09-2020
DOI: 10.3390/MET10101312
Abstract: This review adds to the public domain literature on the extraction of lithium from mineral ores. The focus is on the pyrometallurgical pre-treatment of spodumene. Information on the phase transformation from α to β, the heat treatment methods as well as the behavior of various compounds in the roasting processes are evaluated. Insight into the chemical thermodynamics of the baking process is evaluated using HSC Chemistry software up to 1200 °C. It was observed that the alkaline, sulfation, chlorination (using Cl2 and CaCl2), carbonizing (to form Li2CO3) and fluorination processes were feasible either throughout or at a point within the temperature range considered. Chlorination using KCl and carbonizing to form Li2O are the processes found to be nonspontaneous throughout the temperatures considered.

Toward Closing a Loophole: Recovering Rare Earth Elements from Uranium Metallurgical Process Tailings
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 16-11-2020
DOI: 10.1007/S11837-020-04451-7
Abstract: Rare earth elements are increasingly required for use in modern high-tech components, and primary production is necessary to meet the demand. Reprocessing legacy metallurgical tailings is advantageous, as the material has already been mined, beneficiated, upgraded, and contained in a single accessible location. The Mary Kathleen uranium process tailings in Queensland, Australia, provides an opportunity for this. The geology and historic process methods for the Mary Kathleen uranium mine are described along with known characteristics of the tailings material. Conventional and alternative REE processing options are reviewed, including phyto-extraction and other bio-technologies. Approaches to determining the appropriate pathway forward for Mary Kathleen tailings are then discussed.

Agromining: Farming for Metals in the Future?
Publisher: American Chemical Society (ACS)
Date: 04-03-2015
DOI: 10.1021/ES506031U
Abstract: Phytomining technology employs hyperaccumulator plants to take up metal in harvestable plant biomass. Harvesting, drying and incineration of the biomass generates a high-grade bio-ore. We propose that "agromining" (a variant of phytomining) could provide local communities with an alternative type of agriculture on degraded lands farming not for food crops, but for metals such as nickel (Ni). However, two decades after its inception and numerous successful experiments, commercial phytomining has not yet become a reality. To build the case for the minerals industry, a large-scale demonstration is needed to identify operational risks and provide "real-life" evidence for profitability.

Potentiodynamic polarization of platinum and aluminum in AlCl 3-[P14,6,6,6]Cl melts
Publisher: The Electrochemical Society
Date: 29-08-2008
DOI: 10.1149/1.3159344
Abstract: Ionic liquids (ILs) are being considered for a wide range of applications including as a medium for the electrowinning and refining of reactive metals such as aluminium. The electrochemical characteristics of the aluminum chloride - trihexyl(tetradecyl) phosphonium chloride (AlCl3-[P14,6,6,6]Cl) system are explored in this paper. Cyclic voltammograms using a platinum working electrode are presented over a wide range of AlCl3 concentrations (XAlCl3 = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.67 mole fraction). The potentiodynamic polarization of aluminum were measured in the XAlCl3 = 0.67 melt at 323, 355, 375, 402 and 423 K. The [P14,6,6,6]Cl used was of commercial purity one of the main impurities is HCl. The presence of HCl in the melt detracts from the current efficiency of aluminum electrodeposition.

Electrocrystallization and solubility of mercury in alkaline solution
Publisher: Canadian Science Publishing
Date: 04-2018
Abstract: The chemical thermodynamics of mercury in aqueous sodium hydroxide solution has been investigated through electrochemical polarisation and solubility experiments. A review of thermodynamic data allowed determination of the Hg/HgO electrode potential. Cyclic voltammetry revealed a complex anodic reaction beginning with aqueous dissolution of elemental mercury and subsequent electrocrystallization of mercuric oxide. Cathodic sweeps showed dual reduction reactions, attributed to the presence of aqueous mercury and mercuric oxide. The solubility and hence activity of elemental mercury in sodium hydroxide solution was determined, otherwise known as the Sechenov salt effect. Sodium hydroxide salted mercury out of solution.
