Aluminium industry stands out as a significant source of CO 2 emissions, due partially to the
high energy demand of the alumina extraction stage. Accordingly, this study explores the …

The use of shallow aquifers for subsurface heat storage in terms of energy management and
building climatisation can lead to a temperature rise in the aquifer to 70° C and above. The …

Clays and clay minerals dissolve over a broad pH range, such as during sediment
diagenesis and in a variety of applications, including nuclear waste storage, landfills, and …

Lithium extraction from hard rock sources, such as spodumene, generates an
aluminosilicate waste that can be converted into zeolite materials. Increased lithium demand …

Fractal is a geometric language to describe the objects, the systems, and the phenomenon
spatially and temporally. This paper reviews the literature on fractal models developed to …

Aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH) 3, gibbsite) dissolution and precipitation processes in alkaline
environments play a commanding role in aluminum refining and nuclear waste processing …

Modern industrial processes demand real-time model predictive control (MPC) method
within the constraints of limited computing resources. This paper introduces an accelerated …

A high content of quartz is usually present in Australian gibbsite-boehmite bauxite. The
reaction between quartz and sodium aluminate solution at high temperatures in the Bayer …

The individual elementary reactions involved in the dissolution of a solid into solution remain
mostly speculative due to a lack of direct experimental probes. In this regard, we have …

Annually, a great amount of Cold Filter Cake (CFC) residue is produced in lead and zinc
plants in Iran. CFC, the Ni–Cd purification step residue, with elemental analysis of 45–55 …
