Electroflotation of cassiterite fines using a hydrophobic bacterium strain

Abstract: ResumoNesse trabalho, é apresentada a eletroflotação de finos de cassiterita, utilizando-se o Rhodococcus opacus (R. opacus) como biorreagente. A avaliação da interação desse micro-organismo com a superfície do mineral foi realizada através de experimentos envolvendo medidas de potencial zeta, ângulo de contato e ensaios de adsorção. Adicionalmente, os efeitos da densidade de corrente e concentração de microorganismo no tamanho médio de bolhas (Sauter) foram também avaliados. Após a interação, foi observado um… Show more

“…Gonzales et al, 2013 have studied electro-flotation of cassiterite fines using a bioreagent Rhodococcus opacus (R. Opacus). Surface characterisation studies such as zeta potential, contact angle, and adsorption measurements reveal the interaction between Rhodococcus opacus and the cassiterite mineral.…”

“…The flotation recovery of cassiterite decreases with a decrease in particle size and in practice ultrafine particles are often removed prior to flotation. Attempts have been made to recover such fine and ultrafine cassiterite values following physico-chemical separation techniques such as shear flocculation (Bilgen et al, 1994), spherical agglomeration (Farnand et al, 1964), selective flocculation (Clauss et al, 1976), liquid-liquid extraction (Zambrana et al, 1974) and electro-flotation (Hogan et al, 1979;Qin et al, 2012;Gonzales et al, 2013), and such attempts are still in the laboratory scale.…”

“…Na eletrólise da água, o mecanismo de formação de bolhas pode ser dividido em três subprocessos: nucleação, crescimento e desprendimento da bolha no eletrodo (Atenas et al, 2010;Gonzales, 2013).A nucleação ocorre quando uma fase de transição surge no interior de outra. Essa fase de transição pode ser de uma gotícula em gás saturado ou até mesmo uma bolha de um líquido.…”

“…This method has distinctive features, which at the same time are its advantages. During electrolysis the finely dispersed gases are released [51,52]. The bubbles of electrolysis gases are the same in size, they are little inclined to coalescence and during their residence in liquid they retain their diameters.…”
