DEVELOPMENT OF METHOD FOR REMOVAL THE NITRIC OXIDES FROM PROCESS OF PRECIOUS METALS RECOVERY FROM ANODE SLIME
Nitric compounds, especially nitric oxides, are extremely toxic with many unfavorable local effects, especially in the surrounding of great pollution sources. This work contains the results of laboratory research for involving of the best absorption parameters (temperature, type and concentration of absorption liquid), as well as a selection of absorption system for completely removal the nitric oxides from process of hydrometallurgical recovery of precious metals from anode slime in Plant for Anode Slime Treatment. The basic aim is decreasing of nitric oxides emission to the law approved concentration, both in working conditions and at gas emission point of the plant.
NOx suppression with hydrogen peroxide in the metals industry
Metal dissolution processes involving nitric acid are major sources of NOx. Technologies using hydrogen peroxide have been developed and proven on an industrial scale to suppress the emission of NOx from these processes. No changes are made to the dissolution process. Case histories are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide with particular reference to the pickling of stainless steels.
Mechanical behaviour and durability of high volume fly ash cementitious composites
The purpose of this research is to separate different morphological particles of ASTM class F fly ash, and study their effect on mechanical behaviour and durability of high volume cementitious mixtures. In this research wet separation of raw fly ash is carried out, which resulted in three layers of different morphological particles. The first layer of particles float, comprise of about 1-5% of fly ash, is identified as cenospheres or hollow spheres. The second layer of particles is measured to be 55-60% of raw fly ash and consisting of porous spherical and rounded particles rich in Si and Al. The third layer particles is measured to be about 35-40% of raw fly ash. High volume fly ash cementitious composites containing second or third layer particles are tested under compression and bending, highlighting a higher strength and ductility in comparison to cementitious ones containing raw fly ash particles.
