Flotation reagents and heavy metal ions always coexist in mineral flotation wastewaters, arousing serious environmental issues or having deleterious effects on mineral flotation. In this work, the steel slag was adopted as a cost-effective adsorbent to synergically remove butyl xanthate (BX), diethyl dithiocarbamate (DDTC), Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. At the steel slag dosage of 12.0 g/L, Cu(II) and Pb(II) concentrations decreased from 4.0 mg/L to below 10.0 μg/L, and the removal of COD reached 54.33%. The removal efficiency of COD increased from 11.36% to 57.49% as Cu(II) and Pb(II) concentrations rose from 0 to 8.0 mg/L, revealing the promotion effects of metallic ions on collector adsorption. The maximum uptake capacity of steel slag reached 110.45 and 160.48 mg/g for Cu(II) and Pb(II), respectively. The collector adsorption capacity of steel slag increased nearly two magnitudes after modifying with the uptake of Cu(II) or Pb(II) ions. The SEM/EDS, XPS and FTIR analysis indicated that steel slag could be in-situ modified to generate copper or lead hydroxides and oxides during the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions. Subsequently, these precipitates acted as reactive sites for chelating BX and DDTC to form indissolvable metal-collector chelates. Owing to in-situ modification of steel slag by uptaking metallic ions, the adsorption was potentially feasible for treating flotation wastewaters.

The present study focused on the Cu-Pb system and investigating the distribution behaviors of various minor elements through the equilibration-quenching-EPMA analysis experimental technique. Obtained results showed that: (1) An intermetallic compound consisting mainly of Cu-Pb-Se-Te formed below 956°C. (2) As, Sb and Sn had similar distribution behaviors, which mainly entered the solid Cu phase at the temperature range of 500–900°C, but became concentrated in the liquid alloy phase at temperature range of 900–1060°C, and their distribution ratios increased along with increasing temperature. (3) Bi was mainly found in the liquid alloy phase, and its distribution ratio ranged from 6.8 to 836.5 at the experimental conditions. (4) Se and Te formed an intermetallic alloy phase under 900°C, and they enriched in the liquid alloy phase between 960°C and 1060°C. (5) Au was mainly found in the solid Cu phase at the temperature range of 500–900°C, and its distribution ratio was about 1.5 at 900–1060°C. The distribution ratio of Ag decreased from 8.7 to 2.3 when increasing the temperature from 500°C to 1060°C. Distribution behavior of As, Sb, Bi and Sn is consistent with their interfacial enthalpies with Cu and Pb.

In this work, adsorption and flotation tests were performed to investigate the suitability of sodium polyacrylate (PAAS) as a galena depressant in a Cu-Pb separation system and the effect of pre-oxidation on it. Adsorption studies show that PAAS effectively adsorbed on galena in the pH range 8–9, during the interaction between (R-COO - ) n and Pb(OH) + . However, the adsorption of PAAS on chalcopyrite was approximately 6.8-fold less than on galena. Insoluble lead oxides formed on the galena surface after pre-treated with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), which promoted the adsorption of Pb(OH) + on galena, thereby providing additional adsorption sites and enhancing the adsorption of PAAS on galena. For Cu-Pb bulk concentrate containing 3.03 % Cu and 62.32 % Pb, the use of PAAS combined with H 2 O 2 as a galena depressant for flotation separation yielded a Cu concentrate with 28.02 % Cu and a recovery of 82.56 %, containing 5.54 % Pb. The separation efficiency reached 65.44 %, comparable to that of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇, 68.84 %). Compared with traditional chromium-containing depressants, this work avoids the pollution of metal chromium to humans and the environment, and provides a better reference for similar research.

CuPbSbS3 (bournonite) has emerged as a promising light-absorbing material for thin-film solar cells due to its attractive photophysical properties. The crystallinity of CuPbSbS3 films is a main challenge of achieving high power conversion efficiency. Herein, we perform a series of optimization strategies to enhance the crystallinity of CuPbSbS3 films, including adjusting the annealing temperature and reducing the carbon residue. The optimized CuPbSbS3 film acquires an enhanced crystallinity, and an optimal solar cell device based on it achieves a power conversion efficiency of 2.65% with good stability. This efficiency is the highest value for CuPbSbS3 solar cells up to now.

In this research, ferroferric oxide nanoparticles were coated with silicon dioxide and further functionalized with alizarin complexone as the adsorbent of magnetic solid-phase extraction, thus aiming for extraction and preconcentration of heavy metals in Gastrodiae rhizoma samples. The determination of heavy metals was carried out by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The results showed that the functionalized magnetic nanoparticles demonstrated higher extraction efficiency for copper, lead, and cadmium. The synthesized magnetic sorbents were characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transformed infrared spectra. Different parameters influencing the extraction efficiency including the amount of sorbent, sample pH, sorption time, solution volume, elution solvent, and reuse times were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the method detection limit was 0.18, 0.25, and 0.12 µg/L for copper, lead, and cadmium, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to extract copper, lead, and cadmium in Gastrodiae rhizoma samples, and the recoveries of the samples ranged from 90.0 to 102.0% and relative standard deviations (n = 5) were in the range of 1.93–3.82%.
