This article presents the results of comparative experiments on the activation chloride and activation carbonate-cyanide leaching of gold from the secondary mineral material of heaps of Aprelkovo mine. A cyanide scheme with a gradual increase in the cyanide concentration in the pregnant solution was adopted as a control scheme for percolation leaching. To establish the maximum recovery of gold and associated components, preliminary experiments with agitational cyanide leaching were carried out. In the course of the experimental work, some of the problems of gold recovery according to the classical cyanide scheme applicable to this deposit were identified and, thanks to the use of activated solutions, were solved. The reasons for the insufficiently high recovery are clogging and limited access of the complexing agent to encapsulated and chemically bound gold inclusions due to their high dispersion in the crystal lattices of concentrating minerals and the presence in the ore of minerals that tend to absorb water with a pronounced hydration effect.

In mineral processing the high material volumes yield the fact that benefits of even small improvements in the production quality and product efficiency are remarkable. During the operation of the mineral material processing, the grinding circuit (GC) is the key unit and its product particle size and circulating load are two controlled indexes directly related to the quality and efficiency of the whole mineral material processing. Therefore, an appropriate control of GC is especially significant to improve the operation performance of the mineral material processing. Due to the GCs are essentially multivariable dynamic systems with high interaction among process variables. It is hard to improve the quality and efficiency in the mineral material processing by controlling the grinding system with the conventional methods. In this paper, a novel multivariable decoupling control scheme is adopted to handle such intricate process. Simulations have shown the proposed method can greatly improve the production quality and product efficiency of the mineral material processing.

Abstract The difference in processing behavior between synthetic rubbers and natural rubber becomes evident when production facilities designed for processing natural rubber are used for synthetic rubbers. All the synthetic rubbers in one respect or another are harder to process than natural rubber. Under circumstances other than the present emergency, processing equipment suitable for handling the synthetic rubbers would gradually be evolved. In the present situation, synthetic rubbers must be processed with equipment already available. In this discussion natural rubber and the general purpose synthetic rubbers, GR-S, GR-M and GR-I, will be considered. The processing of dry rubber consists essentially of the incorporation of vulcanizing agents, pigments, oils, and other ingredients by a process of kneading, followed by the forming of the mix by extrusion or calendering into shapes suitable for fabrication preparatory to final cure. The mixing step, which is accomplished on a two-roll mill or in an internal mixer, requires that the rubber be within a plasticity range that will permit satisfactory dispersion of the ingredients. If the plasticity is too low the rubber tends to crumble, and if it is too high dispersion is poor. Crude natural rubber is quite tough, and before breakdown has some of the properties of vulcanized rubber, such as high recovery after moderate distortion. In the crude state it is extremely difficult to obtain satisfactory dispersion of pigments. It is therefore necessary to soften it by mastication or other means so that the pigments are more readily incorporated and power requirements are lowered. In addition, its nerve or tendency to recover after distortion is greatly reduced. Synthetic rubbers, in general, differ from natural rubber in their susceptibility to softening by mastication, and they show different relationships between nerve and plasticity than does natural rubber.

Single Worm

Approximately 90% of Hymenolepis citelli cysticercoids given to 6-week-old male CFLP mice by stomach tube became established. Equally high recovery rates were obtained from administering 1, 3 and 6 cysticercoids.In 1-worm infections worms increase in weight until about day 25–28 post infection. After a few days at maximum weight (mean weights of worms 24–42 mg) there is a small, 10–25%, decrease in weight, after which there is little change in weight up to day 90 (as long as studied).One-worm infections survived without loss until day 30, after which a slow loss occurred, but only in two experiments, both with older mice, did loss exceed 50% by day 80. In 3-worm infections worms were rejected between days 17 and 30, but loss varied from 50 to 80% during this period in replicate experiments. With 6-worm infections rejection occurred over a shorter period (days 17–22), was more uniform between experiments and was more complete, over 75% of worms being lost. In both 3- and 6-worm infections a residual population, usually of only a single worm, persisted in 20–50% of the mice until the end of the experiments (day 63–78).Cortisone prevented loss of worms from both 3- and 6-worm infections; worms continued to grow until day 25 ± 2 (as in 1-worm infections), by which time they were considerably larger than (the surviving) worms in mice not receiving cortisone. The biomass (worm burden per mouse) remained constant from day 25 to 55 in mice receiving cortisone.The results are discussed with particular reference to: H. diminuta and the evidence that mice do mount an immunological response against tapeworms in the intestine; the existence of an antigenic threshold in mice; the apparent existence of a similar rejection pattern in a natural population of H. citelli in Peromyscus maniculatus, and hence the importance of immunity as a factor preventing gradual increase in number of tapeworms in the intestine during the life of a host.

Major Progress

The use CCD detectors has allowed a major progress in abundance derivations for globular cluster stars in the last years. Abundances deduced from high dispersion spectra now correlates well with other abundance indicators. I discuss some problems concerning the derivation of accurate metal abundances for globular clusters using high dispersion spectra from both the old photographic and the most recent CCD data. The discrepant low abundances found by Cohen (1980), from photographic material for M71 giants, are found to be due to the use of too high microturbulences.

Star Images

There are certain visual double stars which, when close to a node of their relative orbit, should have enough radial velocity difference (10-20 km/s) that the spectra of the two component stars will appear resolved on high-dispersion spectrograms (5 Å/mm or less) obtainable by use of modern coudé and solar spectrographs on bright stars. Both star images are then recorded simultaneously on the spectrograph slit, so that two stellar components will appear on each spectrogram.

Suitable Approximation

The imaging of detailed structures of crystal lattices with 3 to 4Å resolution, given the correct conditions of microscope defocus and crystal orientation and thickness, has been used by Iijima (this conference) for the study of new types of crystal structures and the defects in known structures associated with fluctuations of stoichiometry. The image intensities may be computed using n-beam dynamical diffraction theory involving several hundred beams (Fejes, this conference). However it is still important to have a suitable approximation to provide an immediate rough estimate of contrast and an evaluation of the intuitive interpretation in terms of an amplitude object.For crystals 100 to 150Å thick containing moderately heavy atoms the phase changes of the electron wave vary by about 10 radians suggesting that the “optimum defocus” theory of amplitude contrast for thin phase objects due to Scherzer and others can not apply, although it does predict the right defocus for optimum imaging.

Z Contrast

The success of obtaining atomic-number-sensitive (Z-contrast) images in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has shown the feasibility of imaging composition changes at the atomic level. This type of image is formed by collecting the electrons scattered through large angles when a small probe scans across the specimen. The image contrast is determined by two scattering processes. One is the high angle elastic scattering from the nuclear sites,where ϕNe is the electron probe function centered at bp = (Xp, yp) after penetrating through the crystal; F denotes a Fourier transform operation; D is the detection function of the annular-dark-field (ADF) detector in reciprocal space u. The other process is thermal diffuse scattering (TDS), which is more important than the elastic contribution for specimens thicker than about 10 nm, and thus dominates the Z-contrast image. The TDS is an average “elastic” scattering of the electrons from crystal lattices of different thermal vibrational configurations,

Adaptive Control Scheme

The objective of this paper is to develop a Direct Model Reference Adaptive Control (DMRAC) algorithm for a MIMO process by extending the MIT rule adopted for a SISO system. The controller thus developed is implemented on Laboratory interacting coupled tank process through simulation. This can be regarded as the relevant process control in petrol and chemical industries. These industries involve controlling the liquid level and the flow rate in the presence of nonlinearity and disturbance which justifies the use of adaptive techniques such as DMRAC control scheme. For this purpose, mathematical models are obtained for each of the input-output combinations using white box approach and the respective controllers are developed. A detailed analysis on the performance of the chosen process with these controllers is carried out. Simulation studies reveal the effectiveness of proposed controller for multivariable process that exhibits nonlinear behaviour.
