Sulphur removal of iron ore tailings by flotation

Iron ore tailings have become one kind of the most hazardous solid waste. Beneficiation of iron ore tailings is a significant issue in the world steel industries, from the point of view of both pollution control and secondary resources. This investigation addressed the processing of tailings with high sulphur content from an iron ore concentrator to produce pellet feed fines and to prevent acid mine drainage. This study was the lab-scale testing of an integrated method consisting of froth flotation combined with gravity and magnetic separation. Reverse flotation located at the end of the primary treatment circuit (high- and low-intensity magnetic separation) will lower a large amount of the sulphur from magnetic separator concentrate. The effects of various operating parameters such as concentrations of collector, frother, depressant and activator, pH, solid-in-pulp concentration have been studied on the sulphur removal using reverse flotation. According to the data presented in this study, the maximum recovery of total sulphur was obtained when the operational parameters were set to the PAX dosage160?gr/t, MIBC dosage 140?gr/t, CuSo₄ 100?gr/t, air flow rate 10?l/min, pH 8.5, and pulp density 30%. With these optimum parameters, final concentrate with the grade of 63.7% Fe and 0.085% S was obtained. The results of this study indicated that, with this method, a great amount of iron concentrate is produced and, simultaneously, the sulphidic fraction is separated that can later be managed more easily owing to the reduced volume.     

Bromination of N-phenyloxypropyl-N'-ethyl-4,4'-bipyridium in cucurbit[8]uril molecular reactor

CB[n](n=6-8) is a family of synthetic macrocyclic host molecules composed of n glycoluril units, which can be employed as molecular reactor. N-phenyloxypropyl-N'-ethyl-4,4'-bipyridium (1) was designed to form a host-guest inclusion complex with CB[n](n=6-8), subsequently, the bromination reaction of 1 and its corresponding inclusion complexes was investigated in this work. In the case of 1/CB[8], the folded including mode is quite helpful to acquire 1-bormination product completely through intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), and CB[8] can provide a safe bromination environment for 1.     

六次甲基四胺与酚类化合物包结现象的研究

Bishop开发的主体化合物1,6-二甲基-1,6-二羟基二环[3,3,1]壬烷可与乙酸乙酯等形成包结物~[1,2],柏木醇通过氢键作用可与酚类化合物形成包结物~[3].比较上述两个主体分子的结构可知,其相似之处在于它们都是桥环化合物,且具有近似球状的分子结构.考虑到六次甲基四胺也是一个球状桥环化合物,且具有与客体分子形成氢键的条件,故它与酚类化合物的包结现象也有助于氢键共晶现象的研究~[4].     

Zinc Recovery from Wulagen Sulfide Flotation Plant Tail by Applying Ether Amine Organic Collectors

Separating oxidized zinc minerals from flotation tailings is always a challenge. In this study, a flotation tailing from Wulagen zinc mine in China (Zn grade < 1%) was processed using froth flotation with combinations of amines (OPA 10, OPA 1214, OPA 13, DDA) and Na₂S to study the effects of these amines on the zinc recovery as well as their interactions with other reagents, aiming to screen out a proper reagent scheme to improve zinc separation from extremely low-grade zinc flotation tailings. The results show that different amines led to different flotation performance, and the collectors were ranked as OPA 1214, OPA 13, OPA 10 and DDA in a decreasing order based on flotation collectivity and selectivity. An increase in the concentration of each collector increased the zinc recovery but reduced the concentrate zinc grade. Interactions were also observed between different amines and Na₂S and Na₂SiO₃, and OPA 1214 outdid the others in saving the usage of both the Na₂S and Na₂SiO₃. The measured adsorption of collector onto smithsonite was found to correlate well with flotation test results. It was concluded that hydrocarbon chains can be held accountable for the difference in the flotation performance with different amines. The longer the hydrocarbon chain, the stronger the hydrophobic association ability of amine, which is conducive to the selective amine adsorption onto sulfurized smithsonite particles and hence the smithsonite flotation.     

Host-Guest Interactions of Cyclopentanocucurbit[6]uril with Alkyl Imidazolium Hydrochlorides

The host-guest interactions between cyclopentanocucurbit-[6]uril(CyP₆Q[6]) as host and six alkyl imidazolium hydrochloride as guests(g1, g2, g3, g4, g5, and g6) have been studied by various techniques, such as ¹H NMR spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The experimental results showed that CyP₆Q[6] formed 1:1 inclusion complexes with each of guests g1-g6. The part of the guest entered the cavity of CyP₆Q[6] changes as the alkyl chain increases in length. It can be seen that the length of the alkyl chain plays a key role in determining the mode of host-guest interactions.     

基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型

战略性稀有金属钼矿品位低,组分复杂、嵌布粒度细等特点,其有价金属分离回收难。浮选作为微细粒钼矿分离回收的主要选矿方法之一,其浮选钼精矿品位一直是选厂的关键性产品指标。国内大多数选厂采取轮班制采样,人工化验得到精矿品位结果,但此方式严重滞后于浮选工艺,难以满足对生产过程进行实时监测和操作指导。LSTM是一种特殊的循环神经网络,引入门机制有效的传递或选择性遗忘长时间序列中的信息,解决RNN中的长期依赖、梯度消失和爆炸问题。本文分析整理东坡选厂中各平台源数据,结合选厂浮选工艺及机理,筛选出多个影响浮选钼精矿品位的变量作为模型输入;将输入变量进行异常值判定,缺失值填充和数据降噪等数据预处理,建立高质量浮选钼精矿品位数据库;软测量模型采用PyCharm软件编码,使用BatchNorm批量规范化处理样本数据,加入Dropout正则化防止过拟合,建立基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型,通过前向传播算法更新神经网络结构参数,并于Linear模型和CNN模型的预测性能指标结果比较。结果表明：基于LSTM的浮选钼精矿品位软测量模型预测准确度高,样本数据误差波动平稳,浮动范围小,模型泛化能力强,模型平均绝对百分比误差MAPE为1.13%,均方根误差RMSE为0.7049%,决定系数R2为0.8763,实现了浮选钼精矿品位的在线预测。     

Inclusion–exclusion principle for belief functions

The inclusion–exclusion principle is a well-known property in probability theory, and is instrumental in some computational problems such as the evaluation of system reliability or the calculation of the probability of a Boolean formula in diagnosis. However, in the setting of uncertainty theories more general than probability theory, this principle no longer holds in general. It is therefore useful to know for which families of events it continues to hold. This paper investigates this question in the setting of belief functions. After exhibiting original sufficient and necessary conditions for the principle to hold, we illustrate its use on the uncertainty analysis of Boolean and non-Boolean systems in reliability.     

The Inclusion Ideal Graph of Rings

Let R be a ring with unity. The inclusion ideal graph of a ring R, denoted by In(R), is a graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of R and two distinct left ideals I and J are adjacent if and only if I ? J or J ? I. In this paper, we show that In(R) is not connected if and only if R ? M ₂(D) or D ₁ × D ₂, for some division rings, D, D ₁ and D ₂. Moreover, we prove that if In(R) is connected, then diam(In(R)) ≤3. It is shown that if In(R) is a tree, then In(R) is a caterpillar with diam(In(R)) ≤3. Also, we prove that the girth of In(R) belongs to the set {3, 6, ∞}. Finally, we determine the clique number and the chromatic number of the inclusion ideal graph for some classes of rings.

区间值模糊集合的距离、相似度、模糊度和包含度及其关系研究是区间值模糊集合的一个研究热点.考虑到区间值模糊集合所表示信息的丰富性,本文使用区间数而非实数来刻画区间值模糊集合的距离,首先给出基于区间数度量的区间值模糊集合的归一化距离的公理化定义,然后通过五个定理详细研究了基于公理化定义的区间值模糊集合的归一化距离、相似度、模糊度和包含度之间的相互转换关系,最后,给出了若干公式来计算基于区间数度量的区间值模糊集合的相似度、模糊度和包含度.这些结论,一方面丰富了区间值模糊集合的信息测度(距离、相似度、模糊度和包含度)的内容,另一方面也为区间值模糊集合的近似推理、决策分析、模式识别等领域的应用提供了新方法和新理论.
