Insight into the effect of potassium amyl xanthate on copper pollution caused by chalcopyrite bio-dissolution.

J Environ Manage

December 2024

School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China; Key Lab of Biohydrometallurgy of Ministry of Education, Changsha, Hunan, China.

Chalcopyrite has evolved into a crucial source of copper pollution, and xanthates inevitably coexisted with chalcopyrite in mine environments. However, the effect of xanthate on chalcopyrite bio-dissolution has not been illustrated yet. To fill this knowledge gap, the effect of potassium amyl xanthate (KAX) on copper release from chalcopyrite mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was investigated.

Introduction: Tropical climates in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in northern Australia are conducive to the transmission of canine helminths such as hookworms, as well as ectoparasites such as fleas and ticks. In addition to their veterinary importance, these parasites may present a zoonotic risk either directly, or as potential vectors for bacterial pathogens. These factors necessitate efficacious and effective antiparasitic treatment programs for community dogs.

The mining industry strives to reduce its water footprint by recycling water in ore processing. This leads to build-up of ions, flotation chemicals and microbial biomass, which may affect the process. The Boliden Kevitsa mine in Northern Finland is exposed to seasonal change and recycles up to 90% of the process water.

Effect of dissolved ozone flotation thickening process on coliform bacteria and antibiotics simultaneous abatement: A pilot-scale study.

Sci Total Environ

February 2024

State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China.

This study focused on the removal of the total coliforms, fecal coliforms and four target antibiotics in the dissolved ozone flotation (DOF) thickening sludge process. Additionally, the thickened effluent chromaticity and its effect on thickened sludge hydrolysis process were investigated. Ozonation in the DOF process could inactivate coliforms by oxidizing cellular components and destroying genetic material, as well as altering the chemical structure of antibiotics, leading to the degradation of antibiotics.
