At ‘wet’ methods of minerals processing in order to dewater flotation concentrates, flotation waste and low-ash coal slurry, highly effi- cient equipment is used such as disk vacuum filters, belt filter presses, etc. On the filter surfaces of these machines, a filter cloth made of poly- caproamide fiber is attached or put on, which eventually goes out-of use for various reasons and is transported to dumps (landfills). The paper pre- sents a complex of physical and chemical analyses to evaluate influence of operating conditions of the filter cloth on the thermal and technological properties of the polymer. The results of the study showed a possibility of re-processing (recycling) of the out-of use filter material from vacuum fil- ters in order to obtain marketable recycled polycaproamide.
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.
