Bioleaching has lots of advantages compared with traditional heap leaching. In industry, bioleaching of uranium is still facing many problems such as site space, high cost of production, and limited industrial facilities. In this paper, a continued column bioleaching system has been established for leaching a certain uranium ore which contains high fluoride. The analysis of chemical composition of ore shows that the grade of uranium is 0.208%, which is lower than that of other deposits. However, the fluoride content (1.8% of weight) is greater than that of other deposits. This can be toxic for bacteria growth in bioleaching progress. In our continued multicolumns bioleaching experiment, the uranium recovery (89.5%) of 4th column is greater than those of other columns in 120 days, as well as the acid consumption (33.6 g/kg). These results indicate that continued multicolumns bioleaching technology is suitable for leaching this type of ore. The uranium concentration of PLS can be effectively improved, where uranium recovery can be enhanced by the iron exchange system. Furthermore, this continued multicolumns bioleaching system can effectively utilize the remaining acid of PLS, which can reduce the sulfuric acid consumption. The cost of production of uranium can be reduced and this benefits the environment too.

Xiangshan uranium deposit is the largest volcanic rock type uranium ore in China. Great number of low grade uranium ore (U < 0.03%) was stacked in the tailings dam as a waste rock in more than 50 years of exploitation, resulted in uranium resources waste. Two group column bioleaching experiments (column AB) were carried on in order to investigate uranium recovery effect by microbial for the low grade uranium ore. The bacteria for the tests was a mixture mainly composed by Acidithobacullus ferrooxidans and Leptospirrillum ferriphilum, which was isolated from the uranium minerals of Xiangshan uranium deposit and domesticated with the mineral and leachate system. The average uranium content is 0.0123%, the particle sizes for column A and B is less than 25mm The Fe2+, Fe3+ and F- average contents of the test minerals were 1.90%, 0.59% and 0.14% respectively. Results showed that uranium leaching rate calculated by uranium concentration of slag were 76.75%, 75.31% in 95days and 85 days of test column A, B respectively. Rate of acid consumption of column test A, B were 7.60% and 7.69% respectively. while the rate of acid consumption was usually more than 10% by acid leaching. These evidences suggested that microbial hydrometallurgical technology was had effective for the low grade uranium ore and significant on uranium recovery for the low grade uranium ores.

Biohydrometallurgy has broad application prospect in the treatment of low-grade nickel sulfide ore. However, quite a number of nickel sulfide deposits are associated with basic gangue minerals such as contain olivine, serpentine. The high basic gangue minerals will lead to a higher acid consumption and make it difficult to bioleach at pH below 2.5. It is crucial to improve processes and adapt bacteria with this kind of ore. This paper reviews the experimental researches and industrial applications for bioleaching of the high acid consumption nickel sulfide ores. It is suggested that bioleaching at elevated pH will have similar leaching rate compared with pH below 2.5, meanwhile the cost will be decreased remarkably due to a lower acid consumption and less dissolved impurity ions.

This study aims to find a comparison of the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured in the CV. Mitra Setia Blitar uses the company's method and uses the Job Order Costing (JOC) method. The method used in this study is quantitative. The types of data used are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is in the form of map production cost data while qualitative data is in the form of information about map production process. The result of calculating the cost of production of the map between the two methods results in a difference of Rp. 306. Calculation using the company method is more expensive than using the Job Order Costing method. Calculation of cost of goods manufactured using the company method is Rp. 2,205,000, - or Rp. 2,205, - each unit. While using the Job Order Costing (JOC) method is Rp. 1,899,000, - or Rp 1,899, - each unit. So that the right method used in calculating the cost of production is the Job Order Costing (JOC) method

This study aims to determine the determination of the cost of production for products produced by PT. DWA. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing industry specialized in automotive components. Its activity is carried out through a series of production processes, so that expenses spent in the production will be calculated into the cost of the production sold. The population in this study were all manufacturing companies in Jakarta. Convenience sampling method selected one of the companies that get the confidence to assemble three national car project in Indonesia, namely Timor, Bakrie and Maleo. Test analysis used in this study is to test the calculation of full costing with job order costing. This study shows that (a) determination of the cost elements associated with the cost of production and (b) determining the cost of production on a product-based job costing with full costing approach. Keywords: cost of production, full costing

The cost-effective conversion of low-grade heat into electricity using thermoelectric devices requires developing alternative materials and material processing technologies able to reduce the currently high device manufacturing costs. In this direction, thermoelectric materials that do not rely on rare or toxic elements such as tellurium or lead need to be produced using high-throughput technologies not involving high temperatures and long processes. Bi2Se3 is an obvious possible Te-free alternative to Bi2Te3 for ambient temperature thermoelectric applications, but its performance is still low for practical applications, and additional efforts toward finding proper dopants are required. Here, we report a scalable method to produce Bi2Se3 nanosheets at low synthesis temperatures. We studied the influence of different dopants on the thermoelectric properties of this material. Among the elements tested, we demonstrated that Sn doping resulted in the best performance. Sn incorporation resulted in a significant improvement to the Bi2Se3 Seebeck coefficient and a reduction in the thermal conductivity in the direction of the hot-press axis, resulting in an overall 60% improvement in the thermoelectric figure of merit of Bi2Se3.

Traditionally, the reduction ratio of a spur gear pair is limited to 4 ~ 7. For a spur gear transmission with reduction ratio more than 7, it is necessary to have more than two gear pairs. Consider the cost of production, this paper proposes a helical spur gear reducer with one gear pair having reduction ratio 19.25 to substitute the gear reducer with two gear pairs. Based on the involute theorem, the gear data of helical spur gear pair is obtained. According to the gear data, its corresponding engineering drawing is accomplished. This manuscript verify that one spur gear pair also can have high reduction ratio (20 ~ 30).
