Characterization and differentiation of iron ores using X-ray diffractometry,k0 instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry

This study was aimed at developing methodology for the characterization and differentiation of iron ores from different ore deposits. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) was used for the determination of major and minor chemical phases in the ores, k₀-instrumental neutron activation analysis (k₀-INAA) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) were employed for the determination of elemental profiles of iron ores. The quality of the ores was evaluated to establish their suitability to serve as a raw material for iron production. Principal component analysis was performed on the elemental data for the classification of ores. It was also shown that ores can be differentiated on the basis of rare earth elemental profiles. In this paper a new indicator, based on four elements (Ca, S, Sb, Yb), was proposed for the classification.

Extraction of contaminant metals from dumped metacolloid ores in order to reduce their hazardousness

Problems of human and environmental protection from discharges formed in out-of-balance ores dumped from nonferrous metallurgy were considered. To the most hazardous dumps belong those of metacolloid ores, discharges from which are contaminated with copper, zinc, iron, and also indium and cadmium. It was found that the most effective way to preclude the contamination is by using heap leaching of contaminant metals from ores in the chemical reclamation of the dumps. Mathematical dependences of the leaching rate of easily soluble compounds of metals (copper, zinc, indium, and cadmium) from metacolloid ores on the main technological factors of the process: sulfuric acid concentration, ore spraying density, and oxidation interval between sprayings were determined, the optimal process modes were found, and the cost-efficient production of metals in reclamation of dumps of this kind to a state in which they hardly contaminate the environment was calculated.     

The solvent extraction is a potential choice to recover asphalt from unconventional oil ores

The abundant unconventional oil ores (about 70% of total world oil) are playing an increasingly important role in global energy supply. To obtain asphalt in unconventional oil ores, different methods, including hot water-based extraction, pyrolysis and solvent extraction, were used to recover asphalt from oil ores (i.e., Canadian, Indonesian, and Iranian oil ores). It is found that asphalt recovery obtained by solvent extraction is the highest. Multi-staged single solvent extraction was used to recover asphalt from oil ores (i.e., toluene, tetrahydrofuran: THF, xylene, petroleum: PE, ethanol), resulting in a cumulative asphalt recovery over 98% at ambient conditions by using toluene. Take Iranian oil ores with the highest oil content (83.79 wt%) as an example, great asphalt recovery was obtained by using multi-staged composite solvents extraction (i.e., toluene@xylene, toluene@THF, toluene@PE, toluene@ethanol). It is also found that introduction of toluene in the composite solvents can significantly increase the ability of single solvent’s (xylene, THF, PE and ethanol) asphalt recovery. After solvent extraction, the solvent recovery was more than 95%. This finds suggest that solvent extraction method would be potential choice to recover asphalt from unconventional oil ores, and it possesses great prospect of industrial application in the future.

Russia takes the second place in the world with regard to proved reserves of titanium ores; however, no Russian deposits of titanium are involved in development. Development of 4–5 zirconium-titanium placers and 2–3 deposits of ilmenite-titanomagnetite ores will make it possible to completely satisfy the needs of the domestic industry for titanium and zirconium and to enter the global market with these products.

Analytical applications of condensed phosphoric acid-I Determination of ferrous and total iron in iron ores after decomposition with condensed phosphoric acid

A simple method is described for the determination of ferrous and total iron in iron ores. Iron ores are dissolved by condensed phosphoric acid (CPA) very rapidly without any tedious and time-consuming manipulations such as elimination of silica and filtration. Under the proposed conditions (amount of sample 100 mg, amount of CPA added 10 g, heating temperature 290 degrees , heating time 30 min), magnetite, limonite and hematite are completely dissolved. The iron content can be determined in the presence of condensed phosphoric acid by titration with dichromate solution, if a slight modification is made. The total iron in iron ores, determined by the present method, is in agreement with that found by the JIS method. The ferrous iron in iron ores can be determined by dissolving the samples with CPA in a nitrogen atmosphere and titrating with dichromate solution. Chelatometric titration of iron after solvent extraction with MIBK from solutions prepared by use of CPA is found to be accurate for samples such as pyrite cinder. The ability of CPA to dissolve various materials has been investigated.

A specific method for the determination of uranium in ores by cathode ray polarography

A method is presented for the specific determination of uranium in ores by cathode my polarography. The uranium is separated by a simple and rapid mercury-cathode electrolysis, then determined polarographically in a base electrolyte in which vanadium, titanium and tungsten do not interfere. Application of the method to the analysis of ten standard uranium ores is shown.     

Determination of lithium by boron spiking and proton irradiation

A major matrix effect that hampers nuclear analysis with charged particles is found in the range differences which charged particles experience in samples and comparators. The determination of lithium in ores was attempted by the previous determination of the ranges of protons therein. This was achieved by the homogeneous spiking of the ores with pure boron compounds of known composition and therefore known calculated ranges. Pure lithium compounds, also with known calculated ranges, were used as lithium standards. Determinations were carried out by proton-induced prompt photon spectrometry on nuclides of lithium and boron. Results obtained for standard reference ores, SRM 181 and-183, were in good agreement with the specificfied values.     

A critical review of neutron activation and tracer methods for the determination of the noble metals

Neutron activation methods for the seven noble metals are critically reviewed up to December, 1965. The methods deal with the determination of trace impurities in each noble metal as well as traces of noble metals in media such as organic material, fission product and other solutions, ores, alloys, minerals, silica and base metals. The need for confirmatory evidence in the case of such complex materials as ores is emphasized.     

Decomposition of ores by manganese dioxide: Analysis of chrome ore

Pure manganese dioxide, prepared synthetically, has been used for the oxidative decomposition of chrome ores. The usual constituents of the ores, viz. Cr(2)O(3) FeO, Al(2)O(3), MgO, CaO and SiO(2) have been estimated and the results compare favourably with those obtained by standard methods.     

Studies of leaching of copper ores and flotation wastes

In Poland, there are significant deposits of copper ores. During the copper extraction, large amounts of flotation wastes are produced. In the ores and flotation wastes many other important elements are present. The main goal of this work was analysis of uranium content and to elaborate procedures for recovery of U from these materials. Two types of ores and four types of waste were examined. It has been found that uranium content varies from 4.5 to 25 ppm. The other elements have also been determined in these materials: Cu (4–5 % in ores and 0.3–1.7 % in waste), Ag, Re, Mo, La, Ni, V, etc. For leaching, sulfuric acid and sodium carbonates of various concentrations (temperature, time) were used. The optimum conditions for leaching have been found. The concentration of uranium in the final solution was generally less than 25 μg/mL. The other elements are also present in the leaching solutions. Simultaneous liquid–liquid extraction of uranium with these elements from leaching solution is under study. In our opinion, only such combined procedure for the recovery of uranium together with the accompanying elements could be cost-effective.     

Simultaneous determination of uranium and thorium in high grade thorium ores

A routine procedure has been developed for the simultaneous determination of uranium and thorium in high concentration thorium ores. INAA is used to determine the uranium and thorium concentration. However, for very low concentrations of uranium a radiochemical procedure based on the use of NPy/benzene as an extractant has to be employed. The precision and accuracy of the method has been determined by analyzing IAEA and NBL standard thorium/uranium ores.     

Extraction of uranium from simulated ore by the supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extraction method with nitric acid-TBP complex.

The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method using CO(2) as a medium with an extractant of HNO(3)-tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) complex was applied to extract uranium from several uranyl phosphate compounds and simulated uranium ores. An extraction method consisting of a static extraction process and a dynamic one was established, and the effects of the experimental conditions, such as pressure, temperature, and extraction time, on the extraction of uranium were ascertained. It was found that uranium could be efficiently extracted from both the uranyl phosphates and simulated ores by the SFE method using CO(2). It was thus demonstrated that the SFE method using CO(2) is useful as a pretreatment method for the analysis of uranium in ores.
