Metallurgy/Flotation question:

It is desired to float pyrite, FeS2, from coal. Describe a method by which this could be accomplished. In this description include all solution conditions and chemical additions required for the pyrite to be stable at the air/water interface. Clearly justify why flotation is either occurring or not for each solid type present.

        If quartz, SiO2, were present in this system would it float with the FeS2 under the conditions you described above, why or why not?

  1. On a chromatographic column one meter in length, operating with an efficiency of 10,000 plates, the retention time of ?-chlorestne and ?-chlorestne are 4025 and 4100 seconds respectively. If these two compounds are to be separated with baseline resolution, can the desired separation be accomplished using this one meter column? The dead time of the column is 480 seconds.

Eastown Industries conducted a Management of Change review for switching to a new propylene dichloride supplier. The propylene dichloride was purchased in railcar quantities and unloaded into a large storage tank, from which it was metered into 55 gal drums for sale to customers. During the Management of Change review, it was identified that the supplier sometimes used aluminum railcars for other products. The shift supervisor raised the question of what would happen if the propylene dichloride was received in an aluminum railcar and remained on the siding for a few days before unloading its contents into the storage tank. 9 Use the NOAA Chemical Reactivity Worksheet (CRW) as a resource to decide if the propylene dichloride is compatible with the al

heat capacity at constant pressure
Cp=(dH/dT)
the difference between H(enthalpy) and U(internal energy) is PdV=RT(in perfect gas)

Then, in real gas, how can I know the difference?

A thermopane window consists of two pieces of glass each 0.1" thick separated by a layer of dry,
stagnant air .4" thick.
• Find the resistance of a 4 ft × 3 ft thermopane window.
• Suppose the window is made by fastening an aluminum border .1" thick all around the edge.
Find the total resistance for this configuration.
• As an alternative to the aluminum, we might use a border of .75" thick white pine. Find the total
resistance for this configuration. (For white pine, "across the grain", k = .087 Btu/hr ft °F).
• Calculate the heat loss for the two windows and compare with that for a single pane of .1" glass.

For my lab on depositing thin films on a surface via thermal evaporation I was asked hat would have happened if we had obtained different color metals on the samples after the thermal evaporation? The only thing I can think of is there was a leak in the vacuum chamber so a nonintended product could have formed via chemical reaction or chemical mixing. Can someone please give me a clearer answer. Thanks!

A spherical stainless steel (? = 7,800 kgm-3; c = 460 Jkg-1K-1; k = 17 Wm-1K-1; ? = 0.9) reactor of 1.0-m inner diameter and 1.0-cm wall thickness is filled with reactants (? = 1,100 kgm-3; c = 4,200 Jkg-1K-1) that are initially at 25 ?C. An exothermic reaction within the reactor generates heat uniformly at a temperature-dependent volumetric rate of Qoexp(-A/T), where Qo = 6 kWm-3, A = 85 K and T is the reactive mixture temperature in K. The exterior surface of the reactor is exposed to 25 ?C ambient air with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 20 Wm-2K-1, and also exchanges radiation with surrounding surfaces that are at 35 ?C. The reactant mixture is well stirred with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 250 Wm-2K-1 so that the temperature within the reactor is nearly uniform. You may neglect the thermal capacitance of the reactor wall and consider the instantaneous heat transfer rate through the reactor wall to be equal to the instantaneous rate of heat loss to the air and surroundings.

a) What is the temperature of the reactant mixture after 5 hours of process time?

b) What is the temperature at the outer surface of the reactor at that time?

c) What is the steady-state temperature of the outer surface of the reactor?

1. The adsorbed ions comprising the Stern layer around a charged particle have the same charge (positive or negative) as the particle itself.

True.

False, they have the opposite charge.

False, there are an equal number of positively and negatively charged ions in the Stern layer.

2. Both ionic and nonionic surfactants can stabilize colloidal dispersions by adsorbing onto particle surfaces.

True.

False, nonionic surfactants do not adsorb on particle surfaces.

False, surfactant adsorption always destabilizes colloidal dispersions by reducing the charge on the particles.

1. A mixture of ethanol (ethyl alcohol, C2H6O) and water contains 70.0% water by mass. Assuming volume additivity of the components, estimate the specific gravity of the mixture at 20 oC. What volume (in liters) of this mixture is required to provide 100 mol of ethanol? Molecular weight and density of ethanol are 46.07 and 789g/L, respectively.

2. A gas stream contains 18.0 mole% hexane and the remainder nitrogen. The stream flows to a condenser, where its temperature is reduced and some of the hexane is liquefied. The hexane mole fraction in the gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.0500. Liquid hexane condensate is recovered at a rate of 1.5 L/min.

a) Draw the flow chart of the given process and label all the know variables.
b) How many unknown variables you need to solve to specify the molar flow rate of the gas stream leaving the condenser?
c) How many independent balance equations can you set up?
d) Is there any other values you may want to find from other resources? If so, please explain what it is and why?
