Mohammadreza Shahbazi; Hadi Abdollahi; Sied Ziaeddin Shafaei; Ziaeddin Pourkarimi; Sajjad Jannesar Malakooti; Ehsan Ebrahimi

Volume 15, Issue 2 , April 2024, , Pages 581-595

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2023.13127.2387

Abstract
  Tabas coal possesses favorable plastometric properties that make it suitable for use in metallurgical industries as coking coal. However, its high sulfur content, which stands at approximately 2%, poses a significant environmental pollution risk. Additionally, reducing ash content to below 10% is a critical ...  Read More

Abstract
  Parvadeh IV and East Parvadeh mines are two main coal-producing zones within the Tabas coalfield, east of Iran. Since studies have shown that C1 and B2 are the most important working seams in the Parvadeh IV and east Parvadeh areas, this research work focuses on these two coal seams. Syngenetic pyrite ...  Read More

Direct and Indirect Bio-Leaching of Co and Ni from an Iron-Rich Laterite Ore using Delftia Acidovorans and Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans

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

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10256.1965

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

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
