Mineralogical characterization indicated that the major phase of the ore was siderite with chalcopyrite as the major sulfide mineral. The effects of parameters such as agitation, temperature, NH3 concentration, particle size and oxygen partial pressure （Po2） were investigated. Under the standard leaching conditions of 125-212 μm particle size, 120 ℃, 1.29 mol/L NH3 and 202 kPa ofpo2, about 83% Cu could be selectively extracted in 2.5 h. However, when using higher NH3 concentration and lower particle size, more than 95% extraction was achieved. The leaching process was found to be surface reaction controlling. The estimated activation energy was （37.6±1.9） kJ/mol and empirical orders of reaction with respect topos and [NH3] were about 0.2 and 1, respectively.展开更多

Waste Sm-Co based permanent magnet generated during machining is a good source for both Sm and Co. In the present study a simpler process of acid leaching at 80 ℃ followed by solvent extraction, oxalate precipitation and calcination is described for producing pure Sm2 O3 and Co3 O4. With either 10 vol% H2SO4 or 15 vol% HCI at 80 ℃ more than 95% Sm and Co are leached in 1 h.Extraction of Sm from sulphate leach liquor with TBP or Aliquat 336 was poor. Although extraction with TOPS-99 is quantitative but Sm from sulphate leach liquor precipitated as Sm2（SO4）3·8 H2O. The chloride leach liquor at an initial pH of 2.5 and with 1.2 mol/L TOPS-99 shows requirement of 4-stages at A：O = 3：2. Stripping with oxalic acid precipitates Sm-oxalate which is calcined at 800 ℃ to produce Sm2 O3. Co3 O4 is recovered from the raffinate through oxalate precipitation followed by calcination at450℃.展开更多

The surface of cavity is stress-free and is subjected to a time-dependent thermal shock. The basic equations have been written in the form of a vector-matrix differential equation in the Laplace transform domain, which is then solved by an eigenvalue approach. Numerical inversion of the transforms is carried out using the Bellman method. Displacement, stress and temperature are computed and presented graphically. It is found that variation in the thermo-physical properties of a material strongly influences the response to loading. A comparative study with a corresponding homogeneous material is also made.展开更多

Each layer is assumed to be made of homogeneous and isotropic elastic material. The relevant displacement components for each layer are taken to be axisymmetric about a line, which is perpendicular to the plane surfaces of all layers. The stress function for each layer, therefore, satisfies a single equation in absence of any body forces. The equation is then solved by integral transform technique. Analytical expressions for thermo-elastic displacements and stresses in the underlying mass and the corresponding numerical codes are constructed for any number of layers. However, the numerical comparison is made for three and four layers.展开更多
