A tangential flow two colliding streams cyclone reactor (TFTCSCR) was employed as a chemical reactor in the implementation of a solid-liquid reaction. The reaction between barium sulfide particles and a sodium carbonate solution as a typical example of such reactions was considered. Higher conversions of BaS obtained in this reactor may indicate the better performance capability of TFTCSCR relative to those of conventional reaction systems. A stochastic model, based on the Markov chain discrete formulation has been developed for the TFTCSCR, which describes the flow pattern and the residence time distribution (RTD) within the reactor. The predicted values for BaS conversion have been compared with those determined experimentally. The degree of agreement was between 80-85%.

Sulfidization is required in the amine flotation of smithsonite; however, the sulfidization mechanism of smithsonite is still not fully understood. In this work, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) were used to characterize sulfidized and unsulfidized smithsonite. The XPS and UV–vis DRS analyses showed that smithsonite sulfidization is a transformation of ZnCO3 to ZnS on the smithsonite surfaces. However, this transformation is localized, resulting in the coexistence of ZnCO3 and ZnS or in the formation of ZnS island structures on the sulfidized smithsonite surfaces. AFM height imaging showed that sulfidization can substantially change the surface morphology of smithsonite; in addition, AFM phase imaging demonstrated that sulfidization occurs locally on the smithsonite surfaces. Based on our findings, it can be concluded that smithsonite sulfidization is clearly a heterogeneous solid–liquid reaction in which the solid product attaches at the surfaces of unreacted smithsonite. Smithsonite sulfidization involves heterogeneous nucleation and growth of ZnS nuclei. Moreover, the ZnS might nucleate and grow preferentially in the regions with high reactivity, which might account for the formation of ZnS island structures. In addition, sphalerite-structured ZnS is more likely to be the sulfidization product of smithsonite under flotation-relevantconditions, as also demonstrated by the results of our UV–vis DRS analyses. The results of this study can provide deeper insights into the sulfidization mechanism of smithsonite.

Bioinorganic complexes of nicotinic acid with trivalent antimony and bismuth are synthesized by solid-liquid reaction at room temperature. The formula of the complexes is Sb(C5H4NCOOH)2Cl3•H2O and Bi(C5H4NCOOH)2Cl3•H2O respectively. The crystal structure of the complex of nicotinic acid and Sb(III) belongs to triclinic system and that of nicotinic acid and Bi(III) belongs to monoclinic system. Thermal analysis can indicate the complex formation between antimony or bismuth ion and nicotinic acid.
