The increasing demand for sustainable mining practices has driven the development of environmentally friendly reagents for mineral processing. This study investigates vitamin E sodium succinate (VE_SS), a novel bio-based collector, for its potential...
Layered perovskites have been actively studied due to their outstanding electronic and optical properties as well as kinetic stability. Layered perovskites with hexagonal symmetry have special electronic properties, such as the Dirac cone in the band...
A facile method was employed to impregnate activated carbon, a commonly used water treatment medium, with nanostructured magnesium oxide for fluoride removal. Batch adsorption tests were conducted to evaluate the adsorption performance of the nanostr...
A gold mine located in western China is facing the problem of a low concentrate grade, significantly hindering its economic benefits. Preliminary assessments indicate that this is caused by gangue minerals that are prone to floating and sliming, nece...
We report the first synthesis of zwitterionic thiacalixarenes featuring imidazolium and sulfonate groups on the upper rim and alkyl (butyl or octyl) fragments on the lower rim of the platform. Despite their amphiphilic structure, these macrocycles ex...
This study investigates the adsorption of surfactants on Algerian reservoir rock from Hassi Messaoud. A new data generation method based on a design of experiments (DOE) approach has been developed to improve the accuracy of adsorption modeling using...
To investigate the lubrication mechanism of phytic acid (PA) solution, a “copper–PA solution–copper” confined model with varying concentrations was established. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to model the be...
The solubility behavior of drugs is a critical factor in formulation development. Approximately 40–45% of new drugs face market entry challenges due to low water solubility. Enhancing drug bioavailability is thus essential in developing pharmac...
Limited methods exist to determine the composition of particle mixtures. This research presents a simple UV-vis-spectroscopy-based method for the separate quantification of particles mixtures considering the following: synthesized ferrihydrite, comme...
An advanced model of ionic surfactant micellization has been developed. The structural and kinetic properties of micelles were analyzed in parallel from a universally accepted point of view and taking into account the principles of quantum mechanics,...
