Various methods have been proposed and patented for processing alunite, but none has been performed at industrial scale and no technical,operational and economic data is available to evaluate methods. In addition, selecting the right approach for alunite beneficiation, requires introducing a wide range of criteria and careful analysis of alternatives.In this research, after studying the existing processes, 13 methods were considered and evaluated by 14 technical, economic and environmental analyzing criteria. Due to multiplicity of processing methods and attributes, in this paper, Multi Attribute Decision Making methods were employed to examine the appropriateness of choices. The Delphi Analytical Hierarchy Process(DAHP) was used for weighting selection criteria and Fuzzy TOPSIS approach was used to determine the most profitable candidates. Among 13 studied methods, Spanish, Svoronos and Hazan methods were respectively recognized to be the best choices.展开更多

The product of purification factor and recovery yield is used as the objective function for optimizing a single step process. The objective function for the optimization of a multi step process is considered to obtain an anticipated product purity at a maximum recovery yield and a minimum number of CARE inividuals. Pairs of the operating conditions (eluant and affinity recycle flow rates) exist to give the maximums of above objective functions when membrane rejections to ligates and contaminants are equal in value. The optimum affinity recycle flow rate decreases with the increase of membrane rejections and equilibrium binding fractions of ligates. For a multi step process, when contaminants are rejected less than ligate, only one pair of the optimum eluant and affinity recycle flow rates exists.展开更多
