This paper describes the nitric acid dissolution process of natural minerals such as tennantite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, with the addition of Fe (III) ions and FeS. These minerals are typical for the ores of the Ural deposits. The effect of temperature, nitric acid concentration, time, additions of Fe (III) ions and FeS was studied. The highest dissolution degree of sulfide minerals (more than 90%) was observed at a nitric acid concentration of 6 mol/dm, an experiment time of 60 min, a temperature of 80 °C, a concentration of Fe (III) ions of 16.5 g/dm, and an addition of FeS to the total mass minerals at 1.2:1 ratio. The most significant factors in the break-down of minerals were the nitric acid concentration, the concentration of Fe (III) ions and the amount of FeS. Simultaneous addition of Fe (III) ions and FeS had the greatest effect on the leaching process. It was also established that FeS can be an alternative catalytic surface for copper sulfide minerals during nitric acid leaching. This helps to reduce the influence of the passivation layer of elemental sulfur due to the galvanic linkage formed between the minerals, which was confirmed by SEM-EDX.

In this study, a preconcentration strategy based on Ni(OH) nanoflowers (NFs) was developed for the extraction/separation of bismuth ions from environmental water samples before the determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The homogeneous coprecipitation method was employed for the synthesis of the flower-shaped Ni(OH) and used as an adsorbent for the preconcentration of bismuth. The extraction variables were determined by a univariate optimization strategy to obtain maximum extraction performance.

With the exponential growth of global photovoltaic (PV) installed capacity, the quantity of discarded PV modules continues to rise. This study innovatively explored the sustainable recovery and utilization of raw materials from discarded solar panels, focusing on the transformation of recycled silicon into microporous silica nanoparticles (MSN). Low toxic organic solvent ethyl acetate (EA) was for the first time utilized to reduce the viscosity of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and facilitated its removal.

Fine particulate matter has been linked with acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the key constituents remain unclear. Here, we conduct a nationwide case-crossover study in China during 2015-2021 to quantify the associations between fine particulate matter constituents (organic matter, black carbon, nitrate, sulfate, and ammonium) and acute coronary syndrome, and to identify the critical contributors.
