Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 471-489

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10528.2002

Abstract
  In this research work, the bio-leaching of Co and Ni from an iron-rich laterite ore is assessed using the acidophilic heterotrophic (Delftia acidovorans)and autotrophic (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans) bacteria. The metabolic products of the acidophilic bacteria play an important role in bio-leaching. ...  Read More

Abstract
  The precipitation of aluminum hydroxide from a supersaturated sodium aluminate solution is known as an essential production step in the Bayer process. In this work, the real precipitation process in the Iran Alumina Plant was modeled by the historical data with the help of Design Expert. According to ...  Read More

Dissolution of Nickel and Cobalt from Iron-Rich Laterite Ores Using Different Organic Acids

M. Hosseini Nasab; M. Noaparast; H. Abdollahi

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2020, , Pages 779-797

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2020.9564.1869

Abstract
  Due to the decreasing production of nickel and cobalt from sulfide sources, the Ni and Co extraction from the oxide ores (laterites) have become more prevalent. In this research work, the effects of calcination prior to leaching, acid concentration, percent solid, pH, and stirring speed on the nickel ...  Read More

Mineral Processing
Stage specialization for design and analysis of flotation circuits

V. Radmehr; Seyed Z. Shafaei; M. Noaparast; H. Abdollahi

Volume 10, Issue 1 , January 2019, , Pages 37-47

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.6794.1504

Abstract
  This paper presents a new approach for flotation circuit design. Initially, it was proven numerically and analytically that in order to achieve the highest recovery in different circuit configurations, the best equipment must be placed at the beginning stage of the flotation circuits. The size of the ...  Read More

A comparative study of two-stage flotation of Zn and Pb oxide minerals using anionic, cationic, and mixed (cationic/anionic) collectors

M. Salehfard; M. Noaparast; Seyed Z. Shafaei; H. Abdollahi

Volume 9, Issue 4 , October 2018, , Pages 1019-1033

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2018.6760.1498

Abstract
  A lead-zinc carbonate ore sample containing 2.5% Pb and 9.39% Zn was used in this research work. The sample was prepared from the Darreh-Zanjir mine located in the Yazd province (Iran). Influences of the influential factors on flotation of smithsonite and cerussite were investigated. Among the different ...  Read More

Effect of grinding time on flotation recovery of copper smelting slags in Bardaskan district

M. Shamsi; M. Noparast; Seyyed Z. Shafaie; M. Gharabaghi; S. Aslani

Volume 6, Issue 2 , July 2015, , Pages 237-249

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2015.474

Abstract
  Copper smelting slags are hard materials. Therefore,to recover their copper by flotation method, grinding should be carried out to obtain optimal particle size. Copper smelting slags in the Bardeskan district, with work index of 16.24 kwh/st, were grinded for 65 minutes to reach an acceptable degree ...  Read More

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2013.180

Abstract
  In this paper, iron ore sample from the Chadormalu was investigated to determine some comminution properties. Chadormalu deposit is one of the largest iron ore mine in Iran, which is located in Yazd province. The representative ore sample contained 57%Fe, 0.9%P and 0.17%S. The sample was crushed; afterward, ...  Read More
