New nanotechnology-based approaches are increasingly being investigated for enhanced
oil recovery (EOR), with a particular focus on heavy oil reservoirs. Typically, the addition of a …

NOM deteriorates water quality by forming taste, clarification, colour, and odour problems. It
also increases coagulant and chlorine consumption which can initiate disinfection by …

Innate and adaptive immune responses lead to wound healing by regulating a complex
series of events promoting cellular cross-talk. An inflammatory response is presented with its …

Abstract Flotation tailings from South Africa's platinum group minerals (PGM) represent
complex polymetallic orebodies comprising a low-grade platinum group elements (PGE) …

The selective flotation recovery of gold from secondary resources is a sustainable strategy to
fill the ever-increasing demand for gold resources, and reduce the environmental pollution …

The shear sensitivity of fragile, low-density aggregates formed in particle suspensions by
polymer-bridging flocculation makes characterisation methods needing sampling or dilution …

The polymer flocculants applied to mineral tailings suspensions to aggregate fine particles
and thereby enhance solid-liquid separation are also used in a range of other industrial …
