...liquids Evaporation | If the liquid in the mixture is more volatile (boiling point is lower) than the soluble solid, the soluble solid will remain while the liquid evaporates. The procedure employs the use of an evaporating dish and a Bunsen burner. | Crystallisation | Another method of dissolved solids from a liquid mixture (solution)The impure salt is dissolved in water at a high temperature to create a concentrated solution.The mixture is then cooled and the salt crystallises, leaving the impurity in the solution.This crystallised slat contains much less of the impurity than before. The salt can then be filtered and dried.Sugar cane industry. | Assess separation techniques for their suitability in separating examples of earth materials, identifying the differences in properties which enable these separations Yes, fractional distillation can separate a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen because they have similar (but not the same) boiling points. Could filtration successfully separate sand from a sand-salt mixture? No. Without water the salts in the sand and salt mixture will not separate out via filtration because filtration requires an insoluble solid plus a liquid mixture, which in this case would be salt + water Describe situations in which gravimetric analysis supplies useful data for chemists and other scientists * the process of determining the % by mass of one substance in a mixture * It is used to determine whether mining is economically feasible ...

...photocatalysis is well established. Semiconductor photocatalyst (ZnO, TiO2, BiOCl, ZnS, WO3, and Fe2O4) can act as can act as sensitizers for light-induced redox processes due to their electronic structure [18-21]. The photocatalyst absorbs sunlight when the energy of the incident photons is equal or larger than the band gap (Eg) of the semiconductor. Thus, an electron is excited from the filled valence band (VB) of the photocatalyst into its empty conduction band (CB). When the photogenerated charge carriers are not utilized in photocatalytic reactions, they recombine within a few nanosecond to form luminescence or heat. . In presence of suitable scavenger or surface defect to capture the photo generated hole, recombination is prohibited and subsequent redox reactions may occur. The valence band holes are powerful oxidants (+1.0 to +3.5 V vs. NHE depending on the semiconductor and pH), while the conduction band electrons are good reductants (+0.5 to -1.5 V vs. NHE) [22-25]. Simultaneously, in aqueous medium, spontaneous adsorption occurs between water and pollutant and according to the redox potential of each adsorbate, conduction band electron transfer proceeds towards acceptor molecules, whereas a positive hole is transferred to a donor molecule. Each ion formed subsequently reacts to form the intermediates and final degraded products. The following features of photocatalysis warrants the applicability of process for the treatment of the contaminated aqueous pollutants [26-30, 1]. • Ambient...

...lower the activation energy such that reactions can proceed at temperatures and pressures that are compatible with cellular processes. One of the major objectives of a previous laboratory was to use centrifugation to separate and isolate different components within the cell. The success of the separation procedure is commonly assessed by monitoring the enzymatic activity of enzymes that are characteristic of components expected within each faction. For example, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity is commonly used as an indicator of mitochondrial purity: This inner mitochondrial membrane bound enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate within the Krebs cycle. SDH covalently binds the coenzyme FAD which accepts electrons during the oxidation of the succinate. In the cell, the reduced form of FAD, FADH, normally becomes reoxidized by iron-sulfur proteins in the electron transport chain to complete the catalytic cycle. The activity of this electron cascade can be monitored in vitro by the addition of artificial electron acceptors of higher reduction potential than FAD that show changes in absorption characteristics upon reduction. One useful artificial electron acceptor is 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) which shows...

...metals contained are Zinc, Iron, Palladium, Cadmium, lead. The main metal compounds found in it is ZnS. b. The extraction of Zinc from Sphalerite follows: (the flow diagram is on the next page.) Step 1: Sieving The ore is firstly crushed and be able to be separated from the gangue. Step 2: Froth Flotation Since the concentration of zinc in natural ore is usually between 40%-50%. By using froth flotation, the percentage of ZnS rapidly increased. Step 3: Roasting High temperature is required to allow oxygen to react with Zinc sulphide. The following balanced equation shows the reaction, which is oxidation. The chemical balanced formula is stated below: 2ZnS (s) + 3O2 (g) → 2ZnO (l) + 2SO2 (g) Step 4: Extraction by using chemical reactions The use of carbon, mixed with ZnO under a hyperthermal environment produces the metal of Zinc with impurities. The chemical balanced formula is stated below: 2 ZnO (l) + C → 2 Zn (l) + CO2 (g) Step 5: Evaporation The ore changes its state as gas and leave the impurities behind. Step 6: Further purification Either fractional distillation or Electrolytic refining is applied to concentrate the impure zinc. c. The whole procedure of two extractions are very similar. At the beginning of extraction, both ores are needed to be ground by crushing to get rid of gangue. In the following stage, they use the same separation technique, froth flotation...

...Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere around the atmosphere but are not visible. Electric fields are produced by the local build-up of electric charges in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorms. The earth's magnetic field causes a compass needle to orient in a North-South direction and is used by birds and fish for navigation.[ http://www.who.int/peh-emf/about/WhatisEMF/en/]. Now we will talk briefly about the atmospheric electromagnetic fields. There is always free electricity in the air and in the clouds, which acts by induction on the earth and electromagnetic devices. Experiments have shown that there is always free electricity in the atmosphere, which is sometimes negative and sometimes positive, but most generally positive, and the intensity of this free electricity is greater in the middle of the day than at morning or night and is greater in winter than in summer. In fine weather, the potential increases with altitude at about 30 volts per foot (100 V/m). The atmospheric medium, by which we are surrounded, contains not only combined electricity, like every other form of matter, but also a considerable quantity in a free and uncombined state; sometimes of one kind, sometimes of the other; but as a general rule it is always of an opposite kind to that of the Earth. Different layers, or strata, of the atmosphere, located at only small distances from each other, are frequently found to be in different electric states. The phenomena of atmospheric electricity...

...reactions between iron ore slag and refractories Julien Zimmermann MSc PrograMMeS in engineering Materials Technology (eeigM) Luleå University of Technology Department of Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering Division of Material Mechanics 2007:224 CIV • ISSN: 1402 - 1617 • ISRN: LTU - EX - - 07/224 - - SE Summary: For the fabrication of iron ore pellets at LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB), one of the methods used is to sinter the pellets in a rotary kiln. This Kiln has a drift temperature of 1250°C in average. During this process a coating, causing the wear of the refractories materials, is formed, inducing expensive maintenance periods. The aim of this work is to find the reaction that takes place between the Slag and the bricks, in order to find the parameters that have to be changed to improve the bricks lifetime in the kiln. The use of bricks with higher alumina content is one of the solutions, but it is expensive. The influence of Alkalis and especially Na2O has been studied before in inert atmosphere. In this work it will be studied in air as well as the influence of the alumina content of the brick. Experiments were performed in air atmosphere, using powder samples that have been compressed into pellets. The devices used to characterize the reaction and the product of the reaction were: Kanthal furnace, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dilatometer, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry (DSC/TG) in-situ mass spectrometer, Scanning electron microscope...

...Module 3 Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Topic: Waves 1. What is a wave? A wave is vibration that travels and all waves are created by something vibrating. Waves transport energy but do not transport mass. 2. Describe the following terms associated with waves: a. amplitude height of wave b. wavelength length of a wave c. frequency number of waves per second (Hz) d. period how long a wave lasts when it arrives at a fixed point (measured in seconds) 3. What are radio waves? An electromagnetic wave of a frequency used for long distant communication. 4. Explain the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave, and give examples of each. In a longitudinal wave, the vibration travels in the same direction that wave travels. Examples of longitudinal waves include: Sound, p-waves (earthquakes) In a transverse wave, the vibration direction is perpendicular to direction that wave travels. Examples include: Light/electromagnetic, (radio, microwave, xray, etc.), water waves, swaves (earthquakes). The major difference between longitudinal and transverse waves is their direction. Longitudinal waves move left to right while transverse waves move up and down. 5. Compare and contrast: light waves vs. sound waves Light waves are transverse and sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel through a vacuum but sound waves cannot. Speed of light is nearly 300 million m/s while sound has a speed of about 340 m/s...

...Mineral Sands: An Overview of the Industry Greg Jones1 ABSTRACT Mineral sands are different to most commodities, however they share similarities with other commodity types, such as the importance of quality constraints of iron ore and coal or the importance of physical properties of diamonds. The mineral sands industry consists of two principal product streams; titanium dioxide minerals – in the form of rutile, ilmenite and leucoxene; and zircon. The principal valuable heavy minerals (VHM) include ilmenite, leucoxene, rutile and zircon. Variations of other titanium minerals occur between the end members of ilmenite and rutile, including pseudo rutile and anatase. Most mineral sands deposits are found in unconsolidated fossil shorelines several hundreds of metres to tens of kilometres and occasionally hundreds of kilometres inland from the present coastline. Mineral sands orebodies essentially fall into two categories based on the mode of deposition: alluvial or aeolian. Alluvial deposits are further split into marine beach placers (or strandlines) and lacustrine heavy mineral (HM) accumulations. Exploration for mineral sands involves the positive identification of key criteria leading to the focus of exploratory surface sampling, augering and drilling. Assaying is primarily focused around determining the percentage of HM contained within a given sample. Other results of interest include clay fines, sand and oversize. Metallurgical/mineralogical assessment is often undertaken...
