Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hanumantha Rao Kota"
Hanumantha Rao Kota's recent research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly biosurfactants for mineral processing, particularly in the froth flotation of rare earth minerals and copper sulfides.
His studies compare the performance of sophorolipids, derived from natural sources, against conventional petroleum-based collectors, highlighting their potential as sustainable alternatives in mineral separation processes.
Findings indicate that sophorolipids can effectively interact with mineral surfaces, thus contributing to advancements in green flotation techniques aligned with sustainable development goals.
