Full textTipicamente, apenas um dos enantiómeros é responsável pelo efeito pretendido de um fármaco, sendo que o outro pode levar a respostas menos potentes ou até mesmo indesejadas. As entidades reguladoras praticam políticas restritas em relação à comercialização de fármacos como misturas racémicas. Assim, a indústria farmacêutica tem enfrentado desafios relacionados com o desenvolvimento de métodos para produção de fármacos oticamente puros. No entanto, e considerando a dificuldade acrescida na produção de enantiómeros puros por síntese direta, a síntese de misturas racémicas seguida da sua purificação surge como uma alternativa mais barata, simples e flexível. Os sistemas aquosos bifásicos (SABs) e os sistemas de duas fases sólida-líquida (SDFSL) são técnicas alternativas mais biocompatíveis que têm sido utilizados como técnicas de separação enantiosseletiva de fármacos e/ou aminoácidos com enantiosseletividades bastante promissoras. Para além disso, apresentam benefícios de custo, rapidez, simplicidade e versatilidade de operação e possibilidade de aumento de escala. Este trabalho foca-se no desenvolvimento de SABs e SDFSL constituídos por seletores quirais que possam atuar simultaneamente como solvente. Numa primeira abordagem o objetivo foi desenvolver novos SABs quirais, mais biocompatíveis, simples e eficientes. Para tal, SABs constituídos por açúcares, aminoácidos e líquidos iónicos quirais foram aplicados na resolução enantiomérica de ácido mandélico racémico. O sistema mais promissor, composto por [C1Qui][C1SO4] + K3PO4, obteve um excesso enantiomérico de -33.4%. Numa segunda abordagem, foi possível criar uma alternativa mais simples e mais eficiente recorrendo a SDFSL. Com estes sistemas, foi obtido o valor mais elevado de excesso enantiomérico deste trabalho, de 49.0%, através da precipitação enantiosseletiva do R-ácido mandélico por interação com [N4444][D-Phe].
Conventionally, only one of the enantiomers is responsible for the intended effect of a drug, whilst the other may lead to a less potent or even undesired response. Regulation entities are very strict regarding the commercialization of racemic drugs. Thus, pharmaceutical industry has been facing challenges related to the creation of methods to produce optically active drugs. However, considering the increased difficulty in the production of pure enantiomers by direct synthesis, the synthesis of racemic mixtures followed by their purification appears as a cheaper, simpler and more flexible alternative. Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) and solid-liquid biphasic system (SLBS) are more biocompatible alternatives that have been used to separate racemic drugs and amino acids with promising enantioselectivities. Furthermore, these are cost-effective, quick, simple and operationally flexible. This work intended to develop ABS and SLBS using chiral selectors that can simultaneously act as solvents. In a first attempt, chiral ABS of better biocompatibility, simplicity and efficiency were developed. For that purpose, ABS constituted by sugars, amino acids and chiral ionic liquids (CILs) were applied for chiral resolution of racemic mandelic acid (MA). The most promising ABS was a system composed of [C1Qui][C1SO4] + K3PO4 which yielded the maximum enantiomeric excess of -33.4%. In a second approach, it was possible to create a simpler and more efficient technique resorting to SLBS. The enantiomeric excess value of 49.0% was achieved, by the enantioselective precipitation of the R-MA caused by interactions with [N4444][D-Phe].

Full textThe formation of silica gels in hydrometallurgical processes is very often problematic for the performance of the solid-liquid separation steps, due to clogging of the filters. These steps are carried out downstream of leaching aiming to solubilize the elements of interests, in particular in solutions with strong acidity. Also dissolved during acidic leaching, the silicon then precipitates in the form of silicon oxide and forms gels extremely detrimental to filtration. In collaboration with ERAMET Research, a research center of ERAMET, a french mining group that designs hydrometallurgical processes, we studied the influence of the leaching conditions of a specific ore on the dissolution kinetics of silicon as well as on the mechanisms of precipitation of silica in an acidic solution. We have shown that below a pH value of 2, silica polymerizes to form gels following mechanisms independent of the ionic composition of the solution. Based, on the structural study of the gels, carried out by small angle radiation scattering (SAXS) we proposed a model for the mesotructure, which explain the impact on filtration rates. Subsequently, strategies to modify the mesostructure of the gels by physical or physicochemical approaches were considered. The results have shown the potentialities of these strategies in the short term to improve the filterability of precipitated silica gels in a hydrométallurgical process

Full textWastewater treatment technologies have developed out of the need to protect receiving water bodies from the increasingly concentrated municipal and industrial waste streams generated through human activity. Of the methods available to clean wastewaters, biological nutrient removal (BNR) activated sludge (AS) is applied throughout South Africa and internationally as it has many advantages, notably it is cheaper to operate, does not introduce salinity into the water and is a simple and robust process. One of the key steps in the BNR AS process is the separation of biomass from the water. This is traditionally achieved by means of secondary settling tanks (SSTs), however recently the use of membranes for solid-liquid separation has gained popularity for the following reasons: Membranes are able to retain all solids and thus are insensitive to the settling characteristics of sludges, • they can be run at high concentrations and hence smaller reactor volumes are required, • membranes can produce a guaranteed high quality effluent free of pathogens and in some cases viruses too. • Additionally smaller reactor volumes and the obviation of SSTs allow a substantial wastewater treatment plant footprint reduction. Hence the combination of membranes in BNR AS is being increasingly applied. where much research has been conducted on the performance of membranes. The majority of the research has focused on the physical membrane performance, investigating the mechanisms of fouling, or on the membrane biological reactor (MBR) performance in removing organic compounds or nitrogen compounds from wastewater. There are however few case studies investigating BNR using membranes despite speculation that the inclusion of membranes may indeed affect the nature of the activated sludge biomass (Witzig et al., 2002).

Full textOs terpenos pertencem ao que é provavelmente a maior e mais diversificada classe de produtos naturais com aplicações em vários setores devido aos seus sabores e fragrâncias. O seu elevado número, variedade de estruturas e complexidade química, fazem deles uma classe de compostos onde há ainda muitos estudos a serem realizados e questões a serem respondidas tanto sobre as suas propriedades termofísicas e equilíbrio de fases como sobre o seu impacto nos processos de extração e purificação e no ambiente. Ambos são relevantes para o desenvolvimento de biorrefinarias, onde estes compostos podem desempenhar um papel importante dada a sua ubiquidade, valor económico e variedade de aplicações. Esta tese está relacionada com a extração de terpenos de fontes naturais e a sua posterior separação e purificação. Além do desenvolvimento de novos métodos experimentais para medir propriedades termodinâmicas e equilíbrios de fases, algumas abordagens teóricas foram também consideradas para o mesmo fim. Inicialmente, de forma a criar novas aplicações para estes compostos e tirando vantagem da sua baixa solubilidade em água, tal como demonstrado por novas e precisas determinações experimentais, os terpenos são utilizados para preparar solventes hidrofóbicos sustentáveis e de baixo custo, no âmbito dos solventes eutécticos profundos. Depois, com base nos coeficientes de atividade a diluição infinita e previsões do COSMO-RS, foi feita uma seleção de líquidos iónicos com potencial para o fracionamento de terpenos. Mais ainda, visando o desenvolvimento de novos processos de separação de terpenos, foram também formulados e caracterizados solventes eutécticos profundos compostos por sais de amónio e ácidos monocarboxílicos. Finalmente, e com o objetivo de desenvolver modelos precisos para o destino dos terpenos no ambiente, uma série de propriedades físico-químicas essenciais foi medida e modelada.
Terpenes belong to what is probably the largest and most diverse class of natural products with applications in several industries due to their flavor, and fragrance. Their high number, variety of structures and chemical complexity, make of them a class of compounds for which there are still many studies to be carried out and questions to be answered both concerning their thermophysical properties and phase equilibria and their impact in their extraction and purification processes and on their environmental impact. Both are relevant for the development of the biorefinery where these compounds may play an important role given their ubiquity, economic value and variety of applications. This thesis is related to terpenes extraction from natural sources and their subsequent separation and purification. Besides to the development of new experimental procedures for thermodynamic properties and equilibrium measurements, some theoretical approaches were also applied to this end. First, to create new applications for this compounds, and taking advantage of their very low solubility in water as shown by new and accurate experimental determinations, terpenes are used to prepare sustainable and cheap hydrophobic solvents within the deep eutectic solvents framework. After, based on the activity coefficients at infinite dilution measurements and COSMO-RS predictions a selection of ILs was made with potential for terpenes fractionation. Yet, and aiming at the development of new separation processes of terpenes, deep eutectic solvents composed of ammonium salts and monocarboxylic acids were also formulated and characterized. Finally, and targeting the development of accurate models for the fate of terpenes in the environment, a range of essential physicochemical properties of terpenes were measured and modelled.

Abstract: The hydrocyclones are equipments widely used by industry in cases involving solid-liquid separation, but still, little reported in brazilian irrigated agriculture. The proposal of this research was to determining the head loss and evaluate the performance of a hydrocyclone of geometry "Rietema" as a pre-filter of solid particles. The tests were performed in the Centro Federal de Educação Tenológica de Uberaba - MG - Brazil using a hydrocyclone of Rietema geometry. This equipment has a diameter of 19.20 cm at the cylindrical part and operates with flows ranging between 10 m3 h-1 and 27 m3 h-1. The materials used in particulate suspension were: clay loam soil and sand from river. The results showed that the average maximum head loss was 52 kPa and 47 kPa of aqueous suspensions of sand and soil, respectively. Its best performance occurred operating with slurry of sand, presenting total efficiency of 92.31% for flow rate of 26.97 m3 h-1. Among the conclusions can be inferred that the equipment is judged effective at removing particles of sand and can be used as pre-filter in irrigation systems.

Full textAgricultural and centralized biogas plants are facing a fast development, leading to the production of huge amounts of digestates. Whereas the solid fraction of digestates is used as fertilizer, the liquid fraction can be valorized by the recovery of mineral materials, although the presence of organic compounds may be problematic for the treatment and disposal of this effluent. The objectives of this thesis are: i) to characterize the liquid fraction of digestates and to provide guidelines for its further treatment, ii) to explain the variability of residual compounds in the liquid fraction of digestates in relation with substrate origin, process parameters and the type of solid-liquid separation. In a first part, eleven digestates from full scale codigestion plants were thoroughly characterized. Their liquid fractions were fractionated by nine successive filtrations, which allowed quantifying the contribution of suspended particles, coarse and fine colloids and dissolved matter on several physico-chemical and biological parameters. Organic compounds were mainly found in suspended particles (> 1.2 µm) and presented low aerobic biodegradability. To enlarge the data base, eighteen more digestates from codigestion and one digestate from waste activated sludge were characterized; their liquid fractions were fractionated by two successive filtrations (1.2 μm and 1 kDa). Principal component analysis, hierarchical clustering analysis and correlation matrix carried out on the 30 digestates set, highlighted the major impact of the solid-liquid separation process on the composition of the liquid fraction of digestates. In the high performance separation process group, subgroups allowed separating digestates from sewage sludge, digestates from pig manure and digestates from plug-flow thermophilic processes. In the low performance separation process group, COD and total solids concentration in the liquid fraction of digestates were correlated to the percentage of energy crops and cow manure in the feed. Finally, SUVA parameter which accounts for aromatic compounds content and the stabilization of organic matter, was correlated to the retention time in digester for the whole digestates set. To understand the origin of residual compounds in the liquid fraction of digestates from co-digestion of high proportions of cattle manure, four CSTR reactors fed with wheat straw, cow dung and cow manure were operated for 48 weeks. Anaerobic digestion performances showed that cow manure had undergone some aerobic degradation during its storage at the farm. Therefore, the liquid fraction of manure digestate had the highest concentrations in organic compounds. In addition, these organic compounds had the highest complexity measured by 3D fluorimetry. The low biodegradability of organic compounds and their high percentage in suspended particles suggest the development of physico-chemical separation process such as coagulation for the treatment of the liquid fraction of digestates

Resumo: O presente trabalho investiga os mecanismos de separação sólido-líquido em separadores tubo-ciclônicos. O trabalho é desenvolvido a partir de testes experimentais e simulação numérica. A etapa experimental investiga a influência do aumento de viscosidade sobre a eficiência do separador. Através de uma análise dimensional, os dados experimentais são reduzidos em grupos adimensionais. Obtem-se uma correlação entre a eficiência de separação e os grupos adimensionais. Ela revela como a eficiência depende dos parâmetros geométricos e operacionais do separador. A correlação obtida possibilita dimensionar estes separadores para cenários com elevada viscosidade. As simulações numéricas são realizadas utilizando um método de volumes finitos. O processo de separação é estudado através do adimensional Stokes. São introduzidos os conceitos de superfície de captura e tempo de residência de partículas. Define -se um importante parâmetro do escoamento, o comprimento de decaimento. Propõe-se um modelo unidimensional para o separador. Realiza-se com base neste modelo uma análise comparativa entre dois separadores. Os resultados são coerentes com dados experimentais e indicam quais características geométricas melhoram a eficiência do separador
Abstract: This work investigates the solid-liquid separation mechanisms in swirl tubes through experimental and numerical analysis. In the experimental phase, it is analyzed the impact of the viscosity increase on the separation efficiency of swirl tubes. The experimental data are reduced using dimensional analysis. A functional relationship between the separation efficiency and the dimensionless groups is obtained, allowing to calculate the separation efficiency dependency on the liquid viscosity, flow rate, particle size, and other geometrical parameters of the separator. This relationship helps to design these desander devices to scenarios with high viscosity. Numerical simulations are carried out in a structured grid using a finite volume method. Separation process is studied through the Stokes number. The concepts of capture surface and residence time of particles are introduced and an important flow field parameter, the length of decay is defined. A one-dimensional model is proposed for the swirl tube. A comparative analysis between two separators is done based on the one-dimensional model. The results are in agreement with experimental data and indicate which geometrical features help to improve the separator efficiency

Full textThe increasing of population along with the decrease of agricultural area led to the intensification of agriculture and livestock production in order to continue to respond to the current food requirements. Consequently there has been an increase of animal waste that might be a source of environmental pollution. This study has as main objective to evaluate strategies for land application of slurry in relation to its environmental impact and the agronomic value of slurry. The following treatments were considered: acidification, solid-liquid separation and the impact of slurry incorporation shortly after its surface application. An assay in pots has been performed during which emissions of ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gases (GHG) were monitored and also the concentration of nutrients in the soil solution. At the end of the assay, the production of fodder oats was evaluated as well as the export of nutrients associated. It has been concluded that the best combination of treatments is the surface application of acidified slurry without incorporation. As the method currently recommended is the injection of slurry, that has several limitations, it may be relevant to review the legislation concerning land application of livestock effluents, if future assays to full scale validate our results.

Full textThe process of thickening and clarifying the effluents of mineral coal processing plants with the use of settlers is a well-established practice throughout the world since it is necessary to reuse the water used for both economic and environmental reasons. The first settler, a thickener type, to enter into industrial operation in the Santa Catarina coal region was installed at the Barro Branco Mine of the Carbonifera Rio Deserto in 2007. The equipment was equipped with PVC lamellae and was installed as an alternative to the decantation basins, which have a high cost of construction and operation. However, the equipment proved to be ineffective due to deposition of solids in the lamellae. This difficulty led to the adoption of other models of vertical flow settlers that do not use lamellae. This work presents the available data of the operation of the equipment with lamellae in the Mina Barro Branco and current results of the operation of the settlers in the Mina Esperança without lamellae. In this second case the flow, concentration of solids and iron, aluminum and manganese metals in the inflow and outflow were measured. In the clarified effluent the pH and turbidity were also measured. Data were recorded for a satisfactory operation, with a significant impact on the reduction of costs in the transportation and deposition of the fine tailings and in the treatment of the clarified overflow, allowing the disposal according to the Environmental Legislation.

Full textThe Iron ore that is produced in Carajás mining complex brings mineralogical characteristics that give a very high Fe content in all its size fractions. Thus, at the end of the production chain both coarser and fine contains about 62% Fe contained in its composition. Importantly, in Carajás stages in the processing of this ore are for reduction and classification by size. There is thus no concentration steps and products are differentiated by their respective size distribution curves: the "grain" - coarser (> 13 mm), the "Sinter-Feed" (<13 mm and > 0.5 mm) and the "pellet feed" (<0.15 mm). Ensure proper particle size distribution of the raw material is a market premise. The last step of classification is made using hydrocyclones and generates an overflow ultrafine high specific surface area greater than 6.500 Blaine and with 45% to 95% <7 μm. And has a high Fe content - about 62%. The overall objectives of this research sought the solution to this opportunity to recover and sell these “tailings”. The study suggested by testing with technologies capable of flowing into the ultrathin generated to 9.00% of moisture, which is the value that allows movement and handling these wastes, and allows their incorporation into the blending of thicker products. Thus, experiments were carried out in several external laboratories and pilot-scale plant in the Carajás with samples of both ultrafine “tailings” of the two phases of hydrocycloning: the natural and the ground. It was evident that the equipment must necessarily match and two efficiently factors essences to dewatering: very high pressure and high temperature operation of these “tailings”. The productivity achieved was around 50 t/h x m² in reject of the Sinter Feed hydrocycloning and 40 t/h x m² to reject of the grinding hydrocyclones.

This PhD work focus on the study of a hydrodynamic separator used to capture large wastes before their discharge into the see. Tangential separation mechanism along a screen is used in this device. The first part of the work consists in studying the hydraulic behavior and the clogging effectiveness of the device with laboratory experiments. A CFD multiscale approach was developed in this work to optimize the shape of the screen in order to avoid clogging. This method, validated against experimental data, allows us to predict that expanded metal stripes are useful to develop turbulence and pressure gradients upstream the screen.

Full textIn the purpose to reduce waste amount, the electro-dewatering process is a promising technique to efficiently withdraw a large part of the water included in wastewater sludge. This PhD thesis contributes in various ways to the study of this technique. Lab-scale experiments showed correlations between dewatering kinetics and energy consumption of the process. Moreover, a new model, relatively simple, is proposed to study and simulate the process. This model highlights the main phenomena involved in the electro-dewatering. Finally, a study of the migration of chemical species during the dewatering process is carried out thanks to an analytical protocol measuring ions in filtrates and sludge slices.1

Full textselected oligonucleotides were synthesized and used as ligands. Effect of pH on ligand-human growth hormone complex formation was investigated and the highest complex formation was obtained at pH= 7.0. Human growth hormone is separated from the fermentation broth with 99.8% purity and 41% overall yield. The equilibrium data obtained was described by Langmuir type isotherm where saturation constant (q0) and affinity constant (K) are calculated as 0.338 mg hGH/µ
mol aptamer and 0.059 mg hGH/ml, respectively. Further, equilibrium data obtained using aptamer affinity column was described by Langmuir type isotherm where saturation constant (q0) and affinity constant (K) are 0.027 mg hGH/µ
mol aptamer and 1.543 mg hGH/ml, respectively. It is possible that, selected aptamer can be used for purification of bulk amounts of recombinant human growth hormone by using aptamer affinity chromatography.

Full textBubble columns are gas-liquid contactors widely used in industry, especially in chemical, biological and mineralogical process applications. In the range of bubble columns available, the vacuum airlift is a French innovation with very interesting characteristics for hydraulic pumping, mass transfer and suspended matter separation. This thesis work is part of the development of this improved airlift, which is widely used in the industrial environment. The objective of the thesis is the hydrodynamic characterization of the airlift column under vacuum and analysis of its capacities to ensure the solid-liquid separation function. This work is exclusively experimental and the experimental setup is a vertical bubble column in plexiglass under vacuum and connected to a recirculation basin. The hydrodynamic analysis was carried out using a differential pressure sensor for the global study and using a double optical probe for local characterization. Results obtained made it possible to study flow regime. The main parameters obtained are the void fraction, superficial velocity and bubbles diameter. Particle Image Velocimetry is applied to visualize and analyze the flow structures in the recirculation basin. The extracting capacities of the column were studied in tap water with the addition of surfactants. Soluble casein and Methyl Iso Butyl Carbinol (MIBC) are the two surfactants that have given the best results in terms of solid-liquid separation of suspended matter. This work contributed to the understanding hydrodynamics for vacuum airlift column and helped to highlight the potential of this column in the solid-liquid separation process. This work also opens the way to numerical modelling of airlift column hydrodynamics from experimental results

Full textA perfuração, uma das etapas da exploração de petróleo e gás, hoje objetiva cenários geológicos de grande complexidade, com elevadas profundidades. Como efluente da atividade exploratória há a geração de cascalhos contaminados ou revestidos com fluido de perfuração. Uma legislação ambiental mais rigorosa e a necessidade de reduzir os custos de perfuração (prospecção e produção) apontam para a necessidade de otimização da separação e reciclagem do fluido de perfuração de poços de petróleo e gás. A atividade petrolífera é desenvolvida em condições cada vez mais restritivas do ponto de vista ambiental, sendo incessantes os estudos e investimentos em busca da sustentabilidade. Como exemplos de equipamentos para o processamento da lama de perfuração podem ser citados as peneiras vibratórias, os hidrociclones e as centrífugas. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho traz um estudo detalhado das características dos sólidos e da lama de perfuração base n-parafina em diferentes pontos do processo de controle de sólidos, com o objetivo de investigar o comportamento dos mesmos e sua alteração ao longo do processo. Foram realizadas análises de concentração de água, fase orgânica e sólidos na lama, densidade dos sólidos, reologia e tixotropia da lama e granulometria dos sólidos. Para isso, amostras de lama de perfuração foram coletadas ao longo do sistema de controle de sólidos em cinco sondas de perfuração terrestre da Petrobras no interior da Bahia (BA). As concentrações analisadas são de grande importância na investigação da eficiência de operação dos equipamentos do processo de controle de sólidos. A massa específica dos sólidos é bem próxima da massa específica de argilas. Os resultados de reologia mostram que a lama de perfuração em todo o processo de controle de sólidos se comporta como um fluido não-newtoniano, pseudoplástico, viscoplástico e tixotrópico. A granulometria dos sólidos varia com as condições de operação e apresenta, no geral, dois diâmetros médios em cada corrente amostrada. O secador de cascalho, um tipo de centrífuga vertical, desempenha papel fundamental na adequação dos resíduos às leis ambientais de descarte, principalmente em plataformas offshore. Assim, visando futuramente a otimização ou mesmo reestruturação desta etapa do processo de descarte de resíduos, foi realizado um estudo sobre esse equipamento e levantado os pontos principais de sua estrutura e operação.

Full textAFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Logingstoetse van saprolitiese lateriet met 'n oplossing van ammonia en ammonium karbonaat is gedoen in 'n druk houer. Die logingsvat vir hierdie studie is ontwikkel om die loging sowel as die vloeistof – vastestof skeiding te doen. Gesinterde metaal filter medium was gebruik vir die vloeistof – vastestof skeiding aangesien dit die volgende eienskappe vertoon; die vermoë om druk te weerstaan, die chemiese weerstand teen bytsoda oplossing, asook voordelige terugspoel eienskappe. Optimum loogkondisies is bepaal deur die temperatuur, ammoniak konsentrasie, ammonium karbonaat konsentrasie, en suurstof druk te varieer. Na loging en filtrasie is die pH van die loogvloeistof gemeet en monsters is deur atoom absorpsie spektrofotometrie geanaliseer vir opgeloste metale (Ni, Fe en Co). Die veranderlike wat die grootste effek op die loging van nikkel gehad het was die ammoniak konsentrasie. Die maksimum herwinning van nikkel van uit ongeroosterde erts was 11.9 % by 4 M NH3, 100 oC, 2 M (NH4)2CO3 en 2 bar O2 druk. Optimisering van die loogdata is gedoen deur die respons profiel te analiseer met Statistica sagteware. Optimum loogkondisies was bepaal as 3 M NH3, 2 M (NH4)2CO2, 100 oC en 2 bar O2 druk. Die mineralogie van die erts voor en na loging is bestudeer om te bepaal waarom die nikel opbrengs van ongeroosterde erts so laag was. XRF analise van die vastestof na loging het gewys dat yster, silikon en magnesium nie deur loging affekteer is nie. Slegs nikkel het 'n merkwaardige afname getoon. XRD analsiese van die vastestof voor en na loging wys dat die meeste mineraal fases teenwoordig in die erts nie deur die loogoplossing affekteer is nie. SEM met EDS deteksie is gebruik om die nikkel verspreiding in die erts te bepaal. Die resultate wys dat nikkel meestal met yster assosieer. Die yster is omring deur magnesium en silikon. Silikaat minerale reageer nie met ammoniak en ammonium karbonaat oplossing nie. In filtrasie eksperimente is daar gevind dat die filtrasie differensiële druk geen noemenswaardige effek op die filtrasie tempo gehad het nie. Die gemiddelde filtrasietempo was 0.29+0.07 ml/min.cm2. Die filtrasie tempo van hierdie eksperimente was baie laag, hoofsaaklik as gevolg van blokkasie van porieë van die sinter metaal filter medium. Dit is gevind dat blokkasie van porieë hoofsaaklik op die oppervlak van die filter medium plaasvind. Lateriedes toon 'n lae deurlaatbaarheid as gevolg van die erts se hoë klei inhoud. Rheologiese studies op hierdie erts wys dat die erts skuif verdikking (“shear thickening”) gedrag vertoon. 'n Baie helder filtraat is egter verkry. Die gesinterde metale is na elke loog en filtrasie eksperiment skoongemaak deur terugspoeling met water en lug. Hierdie procedure was suksesvol, aangesien al 18 eksperimente met dieselfde filter medium uitgevoer is. Die effek van erts roostering voor loging is ondersoek by die optimum kondisies wat verkry was vir die loging van ongeroosterde erts. Nikkel ekstraksie het effens verbeter met geroosterde erts. Die gemiddelde persentasie ekstraksie van nikkel van drie eksperimentele lopies was 19.25 % + 0.19 by 100 oC, 3 M NH3, 2 M (NH4)2CO3, en 5 bar suurstofdruk. 'n Gedeelte van die nikkel in die erts was onherwinbaar as gevolg van die assosiasie van nikkel met her-gekristaliseerde sillikaat-minerale in die gereduseerde erts. Die porositeit van die erts is verbeter deur dit te rooster. Die filtrasie tempo het merkwaardig verbeter nadat die erts gerooster is. Die gemiddelde filtrasie tempo was 2.6+0.05 ml/min.cm2. Kinetika vir die oplossing van ongeroosterde en geroosterde saprolitiese lateriet is ondersoek, met in ag geneem die effekte van temperatuur, ammonia konsentrasie, ammonium karbonaat konsentrasie en suurstofdruk. Vir ongeroosterde erts is gevind dat die oplossingstempo en graad van nikkel ekstraksie toeneem met toenemende temperatuur. Toename in ammoniak konsentrasie lei tot 'n toename in nikkel ekstraksie, maar nikkel ekstraksie is nie alleenlik afhanklik van ammoniak nie. 'n Toename in ammonium karbonaat konsentrasie lei ook tot 'n toename in nikkel ekstraksie. Ammonium karbonaat is krities vir die ekstraksie, aangesien ammonium ione in die oplossing die hidrolise van die nikkel-amien kompleks verhoed. Suurstof het nie 'n merkwaardige effek op die totale nikkel ekstraksie gehad nie. Vir die bepaling van reaksie kinetika is 100˚C gebruik as die logingstemperatuur. Die loging van saprolitiese nikkel lateriet vind in twee stadia plaas. In die eerste fase is die oplossing van nikkel vinnig, maar na 15 minute neem die reaksietempo af. Die reaksietempo word verlaag deur inerte minerale wat teenwoordig is in die nikkel erts. Hierdie minerale bevat yster, magnesium en silikon. Die vinnige oplossing van nikkel in die eerste fase verteenwoordig die loging van vry nikkel in die erts. Die data vir die tweede stadium is geanaliseer deur die krimpende kern model, en die resultate dui aan dat die oplossingstempo deur 'n gemengde meganisme beheer word (as laag diffusie en oppervlak reaksie beheer). Die aktiveringsengergie vir die oplossingsreaksie was bereken as 56.5 kJ/mol. Die reaksieorde ten opsigte van ammoniak en ammonium karbonaat is onderskeidelik bepaal as 0.3 en 0.26. Die hoogste graad van nikkel ekstraksie vir die geroosterde erts is verkry by 60oC, 3 M NH3, 2 M (NH4)2CO3, en 5 bar O2 druk. Die persentasie ekstraksie by hierdie kondisies was 28.7 %. Temperatuur het nie 'n merkwaardige effek op loogtempo gehad nie. 'n Toename in NH3 en (NH4)2CO3 het die graad van nikkel ekstraksie laat toeneem, maar het nie enige effek op die loogtempo gehad nie. In die afwesigheid van ammonium karbonaat het byna geen nikkel ekstraksie plaasgevind nie. Die eksperimentele data het nie 'n lineêre passing vir die krimpende kern model soos vir die ongeroosterde erts ondersoek gegee nie. Die rede hiervoor is dat die monsternemings interval te groot was, of dat die logings karakteristiek van geroosterde nikel gekompliseerd is en nie alleen deur die krimpende kern model voorspel kan word nie. Logings eksperimente wys dat die temperatuur hoog moet wees (> 100 oC) om 'n hoë graad van nikkel ekstraksie te verkry met die ongeroosterde erts. 'n Geslote reaktor word benodig om by 'n hoë temperatuur met ammoniak en ammonium karbonaat te loog om reagens verliese te verhoed. Die reaksie kinetika word grootliks deur aslaag diffusie beheer. Hieruit kan gesien word dat 'n lae graad van nikkel ekstraksie uit die ongeroosterde saprolitiese lateriet die gevolg is van nie-reaktiewe minerale (aslaag) waarin die nikkel binne die erts bevat word. Om 'n hoë graad van nikkel ekstraksie te verkry moet die erts onder reduserende kondisies gerooster word. Rooster kondisies moet versigtig beheer word om hoë oplossing van nikkel te verseker. Optimum rooster kondisies om maksimum nikkel oplossing te verkry, moet bepaal word voordat daar met groter hoeveelhede erts gewerk kan word.

Full textWhen a metal is immersed in an electrolyte, a charge distribution is created at the interface and a potential is set up across the two phases. The separation between charges give rise to what are known as electric double layers (EDL). Compared to the usual solid/liquid interfaces investigated in the literature, this study is dedicated to the EDL at the stainless steel 304L / passive film / NaCl (0.01M) interface by combining electrochemical, electrical and physical methods. First, a methodology has been set up to characterise the EDL by the electrochemical methods: Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Both the effective capacity and the surface charge density were evaluated. Then, several parameters were investigated such as the electrolyte concentration, the applied potential and the influence on the EDL of the surface preparation. The results showed that the double layer capacitance depends mainly on the concentration of the electrolyte and on the applied potential. The roughness seems to have a poor influence on the measured capacitance. Various physico-chemical analysis were performed in order to characterise the passive films formed at the surface: no significant difference could have been evidence between the surfaces before and after immersion. Finally, the volume charge density was also determined by the liquid flow electrification measurement. Whatever the characterization techniques used (EIS, CV or flow electrification), the same trend was observed with regard to the influence of the concentration on the characteristics of the EDL
