“…In order to suggest peptides as recognition and capture elements for MoS 2 mining from tailing ponds, their specificity becomes an important parameter. Therefore, the main components of copper slags – MoS 2 , Mo, MgO, SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , CaO, S, Fe 2 O 3 , Cu, Tungsten and Zn 33 , 34 – were tested as possible targets for MoS2-P15 and MoS2-P28 (Fig. 3A ).…”
