Glass Leaching

AbstractThe results from the JSS phase II static glass leaching experiments are presented. The experiments have been performed in the presence of bentonite, granite and stainless steel corrosion products at 90°C for 28 days. The leaching behaviour of Cs has been analysed using gamma-spectrometry. The surface of the leached glass samples has been analysed by infrared reflection spectrometry.The presence of uncompacted bentonite seems to have a very small, increasing, effect on the leach rate of the glass compared to when no bentonite is present. In the presence of compacted bentonite, a lower leach rate has beep founy than in the prgsencelof uncompacted bentonite. (For Cs 0.3 g × m−2 × d−1 and 0.7 g × m−2 × d−1 respectively.) The addition of stainless steel corrosion products seems to have a slightly increasing effect on the leach rate in the presence of compacted bentonite. The beneficial effect of granite on the leach rate seems to be overshadowed by the presence of uncompacted bentonite.

ABSTRACTThe effects of the surface area-to-solution volume ratio on waste glass leach rates are investigated from a theoretical point of view. Simple leach models are discussed first. Correlation variables to interpret the results of similar leaching experiments performed at different values of the surface area-to-solution volume ratio are obtained for static leach testing. For dynamic leaching conditions, the source term required for risk assessment is derived and its dependence on the leachant flow rate and leach specimen surface area is discussed. The findings are upheld by a more complex leach model, the mathematical formulation of which has been implemented in a computer code named LIX. When tested against actual PNL 76–68 glass leaching data, LIX shows excellent capabilities in reproducing the experimental evidence, in particular the effects of the surface area-to-solution volume ratio.

Microresonator-based lasers in the two-micron range are interesting for extensive applications. Tm3+ ions provide high gain; therefore, they are promising for laser generation in the two-micron range in various matrices. We developed a simple theoretical model to describe Tm-doped glass microlasers generating in the 1.9–2 μm range with in-band pump at 1.55 μm. Using this model, we calculated threshold pump powers, laser generation wavelengths and slope efficiencies for different parameters of Tm-doped tellurite glass microspheres such as diameters, Q-factors, and thulium ion concentration. In addition, we produced a 320-μm tellurite glass microsphere doped with thulium ions with a concentration of 5·1019 cm−3. We attained lasing at 1.9 μm experimentally in the produced sample with a Q-factor of 106 pumped by a C-band narrow line laser.

AbstractAn integrated hydrometallurgical process was used for the zinc leaching and purification from a zinc ore containing 9.75 wt% zinc. The zinc minerals in the ore were hemimorphite, willemite, and calcophanite. Main gangue minerals were quartz, goethite, hematite, and calcite. Central composite design (CCD) method was used to design leaching experiments and the optimum conditions were found as follows: 30% of solid fraction, 22.05% sulphuric acid concentration, and the leaching temperature of 45 °C. The PLS containing 35.07 g/L zinc, 3.16 g/L iron, and 4.58 g/L manganese impurities was produced. A special purification process including Fe precipitation and Zn solvent extraction was implemented. The results showed that after precipitation of iron, Zn extraction of 88.5% was obtained with the 2 stages extraction system composed of 30 vol% D2EHPA as extractant. The overall Zn recovery from the ore was 71.44%. Therefore, an appropriate solution containing 16.6 g/L Zn, 0.05 g/L Fe, and 0.11 g/L Mn was prepared for the electro-winning unit without using the roasting and calcination steps (conventional method), which result in environmental pollution.

Poor Stability

Zinc-leaching residue (ZLR) is a strongly acidic hazardous waste; it has poor stability, high heavy metal levels, and releases toxic elements into the environment. ZLR has potential as a valuable resource, because it contains elevated levels of zinc and silver. In this paper, the recovery of zinc (Zn) and silver (Ag) from ZLR wastes from zinc hydrometallurgy workshops using water leaching followed by flotation was studied. During water leaching experiments, the zinc and copper recovery rates were 38% and 61%, respectively. Thereafter, various flotation testing parameters were optimized and included grinding time, reagent dosages, pulp density, flotation time, and type of adjuster. Experimental results demonstrated this flotation method successfully recycled Ag and Zn. A froth product containing more than 9256.41 g/t Ag and 12.26% Zn was produced from the ZLR with approximately 80.32% Ag and 42.88% Zn recoveries. The toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) results indicated the water-leaching flotation process not only recycled valuable metals such as zinc and silver in zinc-containing hazardous wastes but lowered the hazardous waste levels to those of general wastes and recycled wastes in an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly way.

Doped Glass

Optical investigation and manipulation constitute the core of biological experiments. Here, we introduce a new borosilicate glass material that contains the rare-earth ion terbium(III) (Tb3+), which emits green fluorescence upon blue light excitation, similar to green fluorescent protein (GFP), and thus is widely compatible with conventional biological research environments. Micropipettes made of Tb3+-doped glass allowed us to target GFP-labeled cells for single-cell electroporation, single-cell transcriptome analysis (Patch-seq), and patch-clamp recording under real-time fluorescence microscopic control. The glass also exhibited potent third harmonic generation upon infrared laser excitation and was usable for online optical targeting of fluorescently labeled neurons in the in vivo neocortex. Thus, Tb3+-doped glass simplifies many procedures in biological experiments.
