  2. Carminite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carminite

    Carminite (PbFe 3+ 2 (AsO 4) 2 (OH) 2 [8]) is an anhydrous arsenate mineral containing hydroxyl. [citation needed] It is a rare secondary mineral that is structurally related to palermoite (Li 2 SrAl 4 (PO 4) 4 (OH) 4). [8] Sewardite (CaFe 3+ 2 (AsO 4) 2 (OH) 2) is an analogue of carminite, with calcium in sewardite in place of the lead in ...

  3. Segnitite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segnitite

    Segnitite is not a primary ore mineral, but is found amongst other well known ore minerals such as galena, sphalerite, pyrite and more. Many minerals found with segnitite are important for industrial purposes. Minerals associated with segnitite make up metal alloys, batteries and even pigments. Carminite and beudanite are closely related to ...

  4. RBMK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBMK

    The mixture of steam and water is led by the upper steam lines, one for each pressure channel, from the reactor top to the steam separators, pairs of thick horizontal drums located in side compartments above the reactor top; each has 2.8 m (9 ft 2 in) diameter, 31 m (101 ft 8 in) length, wall thickness of 10 cm (3.9 in), and weighs 240 t (260 ...

  5. Heap leaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_leaching

    Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used in modern large-scale mining operations as it produces the desired concentrates ...

  6. Tank leaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_leaching

    Tank and vat leaching involves placing ore, usually after size reduction and classification, into large tanks or vats at ambient operating conditions containing a leaching solution and allowing the valuable material to leach from the ore into solution.

  7. Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic...

    Gilbert cloud chamber, assembled An alternative view of kit contents. The lab contained a cloud chamber allowing the viewer to watch alpha particles traveling at 12,000 miles per second (19,000,000 m/s), a spinthariscope showing the results of radioactive disintegration on a fluorescent screen, and an electroscope measuring the radioactivity of different substances in the set.

  8. Smelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

    The oxygen in the ore binds to carbon at high temperatures, as the chemical potential energy of the bonds in carbon dioxide (CO 2) is lower than that of the bonds in the ore. Sulfide ores such as those commonly used to obtain copper, zinc or lead, are roasted before smelting in order to convert the sulfides to oxides, which are more readily ...

  9. Calcination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcination

    Calcination is thermal treatment of a solid chemical compound (e.g. mixed carbonate ores) whereby the compound is raised to high temperature without melting under restricted supply of ambient oxygen (i.e. gaseous O 2 fraction of air), generally for the purpose of removing impurities or volatile substances and/or to incur thermal decomposition.
