This study explored, on a laboratory scale, how matte separates from the gangue in the black top of a PGM smelter. Two PGM concentrates, one with high sulfide content (17.3 mass%, Platreef concentrate) and the other with ...

The purpose of this study is to formulate models for the prediction of creditworthiness of a viable Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) operation. ASM is a form of mining carried out by mostly informal miners using ...

Albatrosses are increasingly drawing attention from the scientific community due to their remarkable flight capabilities. Recent studies suggest that grey-headed albatrosses (GHA) may be the fastest and most energy-efficient ...

Smart aquaponics systems are gaining popularity as they contribute immensely to sustainable food production. These systems enhance traditional farming with advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), solar ...

High-speed steel (HSS) provides superior wear resistance and high surface quality of rolled-steel products. In this study, the influence of niobium addition on the solidification behavior and microstructure of high-speed ...

Nb-Ti high-strength low-alloy pipeline steel was subjected to a six-pass rolling process followed by the coiling process at different temperatures between 600 and 650 ◦C using the thermomechanical testing system Gleeble ...

Currently, lithium–sulfur batteries for wider applications are challenged by both the shuttle effect in the cathodes as well as the slow kinetics of the sulfur redox reactions. Although metal compounds have been reported ...

The imaging of the live cochlea is a challenging task. Regardless of the quality of images obtained from modern clinical imaging techniques, the internal structures of the cochlea mainly remain obscured. Electrical impedance ...

The study focuses on “treating waste with waste” through the removal of toxic metals from gold mine wastewater using polysulfone (PSF) membrane infused with waste plastic derived-multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) as ...

Efficiently managing and prioritising the charging of portable electronic devices powered by solar photovoltaic sources in off-grid and resource-limited environments is a huge problem. Ensuring that critical devices ...
