Today’s concentrators deal with a lot of gold deposits comprising smaller ore bodies, having low concentrations of the metal and situated in remote areas. The cost of detailed exploration and a full-fledged processability study considering the time and labour required may appear to exceed the cost of metal recovered from a deposit or a particular ore body. This paper describes some approaches to examining the gold ores mined at such deposits for processability and to developing gravity separation processes, which help save the time and cost of research without affecting the quality of resultant data. This research relied on the GRG test developed by Knelson in Canada, as well as a stage test developed by Institute TOMS in Russia (designed to determine optimum grinding size and number of processing stages). A simulation study was conducted to understand the recovery of gold during the grinding cycle (Stage 1) and to examine the Stage 2 process in a KC-CVD concentrator including concentrate refinement. The authors determined the distribution size of the feed material for each GRG test stage, documented the total percentage of gold recoverable by gravity separation as a function of the ore size, and established how the ore size and the KC-CVD concentrate output influence the gold recovery. This research study resulted in a process flow chart indicating the concentration performance based on gravity separation techniques.

Constructed wetland systems have gained attention as attractive solutions for wastewater treatment. Wetlands are not efficient to treat wastewater with high concentrations of phosphorus (P). In order to remove high soluble P loads by wetland, sorbent beds can be added prior to the discharge of wastewater into wetlands. Sorption by sorbent materials is identified as a method for trapping excess P in wastewaters. In the present investigation, shale has been identified as a sorbent material for removal of phosphate (PO4-P) due to the cost effectiveness, stability and possibility of regeneration. The study focuses on the removal of PO4-P from wastewater using shale and the feasibility of using the P-sorbed material as slow-release fertilizer. Phosphorus sorption experiments were conducted by using shale (2 mm and 2–4.7 mm). Results indicate that Shale I (particle size = 2 mm) showed the highest sorption of PO4-P (500 ± 44 mg kg−1). Breakthrough point was reached within 10 h in columns with flow rates of 2 and 3 ml min−1. Lower flow rate of 1 ml min−1 showed an average residence time of about 2 h while columns with a higher flow rate of 3 ml min−1 showed a residence time of about 40 minutes. Variation in flow rate did not influence the desorption process. Since very low concentrations of PO4-P are released, Shale saturated with PO4-P may be used as a slow nutrient release source of P or as a soil amendment. The sorbent can also be regenerated by removing the sorbed PO4-P by using 0.1 N HCl.

The Capital Purchase Program (CPP) was the first and most significant program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during 2008–2009 financial crisis. This study evaluates the effect of the CPP during this period on the cost of equity of 170 publicly listed banks in the United States that received funding. To control for the potential effects of endogeneity on our results, we use a propensity score matched sample of non-CPP banks. Using this approach, we document robust evidence that the liquidity provided by the government bailout reduced the cost of equity for recipient banks, especially for those banks that repaid their bailout funds in full. This decrease in the cost of equity is particularly significant for banks with high market-to-book ratios, low concentrations of institutional ownership, and those banks with at least one large blockholder. Our findings have important implications for the assessment of government bailout programs and the future regulation of financial institutions.

This chapter presents two applications of MINLP methods in the area of separations. Section 9.1 provides an overall introduction to the synthesis of separation systems. Section 9.2 focuses on sharp heat-integrated distillation sequencing. Section 9.3 presents an application of nonsharp separation synthesis. The synthesis of distillation-based separation sequences has been one of the most important subjects of investigation in the area of process synthesis. This is attributed to the significant contribution of separation processes to the total capital investment and operating expenses of a chemical plant. As a result, a lot of interest has been generated in the development of systematic approaches that select optimal sequences of distillation columns. Westerberg (1985) provided a comprehensive review of the distillation-based separation synthesis approaches, as well as presented a classification of different types of separation problems along with their associated challenges. Nishida et al. (1981) and Smith and Linnhoff (1988) reviewed the general separation synthesis problem (i.e., not only distillation-based) and presented the progress made. To illustrate the nature of the distillation-based separation system synthesis problem, let us consider its generic definition shown in Figure 9.1, which is as follows: . . . Given a number of input multicomponent streams which have specified amounts for each component, create a cost-optimal configuration of distillation columns, mixers, and splitters that produces a number of multicomponent products with specified composition of their components. . . The products feature components that exist in the input streams and can be obtained by redistributing the components existing in the input streams, while the cost-optimal configuration corresponds to the least total annual cost one. Most of distillation columns or sequences can be classified as (i) Sharp, (ii) Nonsharp, (iii) Simple, (iv) Complex, (v) Heat-integrated, and (vi) Thermally coupled. In (i), a column separates its feed into products without overlap in the components. An example is the separation of a stream consisting of four components A, B, (C, and D via a distillation column, into one product consisting of only A and another product featuring B, C, and D. If all columns are sharp, then the separation sequence is termed as sharp sequence.

The International Wildlife Conference, held at Arusha in Tanganyika from 5th to 12th September, 1961, has been justly described as the most important gathering of conservationists and ecologists ever held in Africa. Members of the Fauna Preservation Society can take satisfaction from the fact that their Society contributed a very great deal to its success. The Society made a very substantial grant towards the cost of African Special Project, Stage 1, the survey which preceded the conference, and also provided funds to enable twelve Africans to attend the conference and one of the post-conference tours. Furthermore, the Society was well represented at all the sessions of the conference by members of a delegation led by its President, the Marquess of Willingdon. What characterized the Arusha discussions as a whole was a sense of unity of purpose in the common effort to conserve the wildlife of Africa. On some points of detail there was conflict of opinion vigorously expressed. The merits and dangers of the regular cropping or harvesting of wild animals was a notable example. Conference was divided between the advantages in theory and the snags in practice, especially the snag of setting up adequate marketing facilities, but on this debatable point, as in others, it was significant that everyone was united in the importance of game management, an expression in common use throughout the week.
