Cooling crystallization is one of the most important purification and separation techniques in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The product of the cooling crystallization process is always a suspension that contains ...

The major inorganic solid residues of chemical pulp mills include green liquor dregs, various lime residues, recovery boiler fly ash, and salt cake produced at the chlorine dioxide generator. Only a small proportion of ...

Solid-liquid separation of bauxite residue is a topical issue in the alumina industry, not least due to the great quantity and problematic properties of this highly alkaline residue. The objective of this contribution is ...

Bauxite residue, the main waste fraction of alumina production, is extremely hazardous to the environment, as well as to human health. After the recovery of the pregnant liquor, the washed and thickened bauxite residue is ...

The objective of this study is to introduce a treatment sequence enabling straightforward and effective recovery of hazardous trace elements from recovery boiler fly ash (RBFA) by a novel method, and to demonstrate the ...

The filtration properties of mineral slurries depend for instance on the properties of the solid particles and on the way how these particles arrange themselves when the filter cake is formed. In cake filtration applications, ...

Solute analysis of bauxite residue filter cakes is an important but not very well understood operation carried out at refineries and in scientific research. As more and more refineries rely currently on dry cake disposal ...

Cake filtration is an important unit operation in the processing of minerals and pigments. The filtration characteristics are strongly dependent on the upstream processing of the ore, such as grinding parameters. This study ...

Bauxite residues consist of solid particles and a strongly alkaline liquid. Depending on the selected disposal method, the solids content of washed bauxite residues varies from 30 to 70 w-%. The objective of this study is ...

Chemical and process industries utilize stirred media mills for efficient fine grinding of solids. Stirred media mills, also referred to as stirred ball or stirred bead mills, generally have a good ability to produce fine ...
