Carbon spheres were successfully prepared via hydrothermal treatment of glucose, and spherical size (0.5–8 μm) could be tuned by adding different amount of oxalic acid. The surface of obtained carbon spheres contains hydrophilic functionalities including –OH, –C=O, and COOH groups, which were not destroyed by oxalic acid. This study provided a facile, simple route for producing size-tunable carbon microspheres with functional groups.
This study investigated the flotation in sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate system, the effects of phytic acid on talc flotation mechanism, then proposed a new flowsheet to handle this kind talc ore, namely “one roughing-three cleaning-one scavenging’’. The closed-circle flotation test in laboratory can obtain a concentrate with the SiO2 and CaO grade of the concentrate is 61.87% and 0.60%, the SiO2 recovery is 72.59%, removal rate of tremolitei is 95.85%. This paper improved the economic value of the talc containing asbestos, laid the foundation of industrial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
