Abstract

This article aimed to separate ilmenite (FeTiO3) mineral from tin tailing applying a single splitter IRMS (Induced Roll Magnetic Separator). Ilmenite mineral is the substantial main source for TiO2. This work used air table middling for feeding. The mineral components of middling feeding from air table using grain counting analysis were found as follows: cassiterite (48.61%), ilmenite (21.36%), monazite (18.56%), pyrite (4.60%), zircon (5.85%), quartz (0.71%), anatase (0.27%), and tourmaline (0.02%), It was found that electrical current and opening of single splitter affected the degree of separation addressing to ilmenite recovery and ilmenite grade. The finding showed that current of 15 Ampere and single splitter with opening 4.25 cm yielded ilmenite recovery more than 74%. The high grade ilmenite (90.46 %) and recovery of 29.38% was obtained using 5 Ampere  with single splitter opening of 1.0 cm. Up to date, the study on ilmenite separation from tailing only focused on the effect of current, however, the effect of single splitter magnetic separator  to enhance ilmenite recovery from other paramagnetic minerals such as monazite, siderite, xenotime and tourmaline has not yet been reported.

Abstract

In this investigation, the impact of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the performance of a refrigeration machine system was systematically examined. The focus was on evaluating the coefficient of performance (COP) concerning the utilization of a polyolester (POE) lubricant, R600a refrigerant, and distinct nanoparticles (SiO2 and ZnO) within the refrigeration system. The nanoparticles were individually introduced into the R600a refrigerant in masses of 0.5 g, 1.0 g, and 1.5 g. The experimental outcomes demonstrated a noteworthy enhancement in COP with the addition of nanoparticles. Specifically, the introduction of 1.5 g of SiO2 resulted in a substantial increase of 25.88% in COP, marking it as the most influential dosage. Similarly, the addition of 1.0 g of ZnO led to a significant COP increase of 13.6%, representing the optimal quantity for ZnO. Furthermore, the inclusion of 1.5 g of SiO2 brought about a remarkable reduction in energy consumption, with a decrease of 25.58%, while 1.5 g of ZnO resulted in a notable 16.28% decrease in energy consumption. The experimental configuration involved the use of 20 g of refrigerant and 500 ml of POE lubricant. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the refrigeration system incorporating nanoparticles outperformed the conventional R600a refrigeration system devoid of nanoparticles. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential enhancements in refrigeration system efficiency through the strategic incorporation of SiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles, offering a promising avenue for optimizing the performance of refrigeration technology.
