The paper presents a computational analysis of regularities in the accumulation of slags during the interaction of lead and lead-bismuth coolants with oxygen gas. Oxidation of lead-containing coolants will cause the formation of lead oxide, while the formation of bismuth oxide is unlikely. Dosed supply of oxidizing gas to lead-containing coolants makes it possible to oxidize, selectively, chromium and nickel to their oxides without the slag formation from solid lead oxide. Regularities were studied which are involved in the lead oxide formation during the interaction of lead-containing coolants with oxygen gas. It has been found that, in the process of interacting with oxygen gas, a lead-bismuth alloy is oxidized 1.7 times as intensively as lead, this being explained by the presence of bismuth in the alloy. Bismuth is oxidized more intensively than both lead and the lead-bismuth alloy. The inert gas overpressure during depressurization does not prevent air oxygen from entering the circuit, and the dependence of the nitrogen and oxygen flow into the circuit on the argon flow out of the loop is close to linear regardless of the circuit state (cold, without coolant; heated, without coolant; heated, with circulating coolant). Oxygen is a chemically active impurity and is absorbed by the circuit; it is therefore important to control nitrogen in the gas spaces of the reactor and research plant circuits with lead-containing coolants. This will make it possible to signal, in a timely manner, the ingress of oxygen into the circuit and to take measures required to avoid or reduce the scale of the slag formation from lead oxides.

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and micro-X-ray diffraction (μXRD) were used to analyze the composition of pigments on a pastel drawing, Special No. 32, by Georgia O’Keeffe. XRF analyses showed that, among other pigments present in the drawing, the red, orange, and yellow pigments may possibly be identified with lead- and chromium-based pigments: lead chromates, red and yellow lead oxides, and/or lead carbonates, plus calcium-based pastel fillers, such as whiting or gypsum. XRD examination of a sample removed from a dark mottled area of coral red pastel confirmed that this pigment layer, which is associated with a darkened appearance and high Pb:Cr ratios, matches the red lead oxide, minium (2PbO⋅PbO2).

Reconstruction of the Cu(001) surface due to oxygen gas impingement on a clean copper surface was directly observed by in situ UHV-TEM. Strain contrast between differently oriented surface reconstruction domains, assumed to be √2 × 2√2 R45, were clearly visible by this method. The reconstruction precedes the nucleation of Cu2O islands. When Cu2O islands were partially reduced and then re-oxidized, a dwell time before formation of Cu2O was noted, demonstrating that a reconstructed Cu-O surface monolayer is necessary before oxide formation.

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was obtained by oxidation of powdered graphite foil wastes (pGFW) at 0 - 40°C. Oxidizing reagents can easily penetrate the layers of graphite foil and thus, the intercalation or functionalization-oxidation processes may occur resulting in graphite oxide formation. The methods of synthesis of GO and its separation from the reaction mixture were partially corrected. GO was reduced, also, to the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by using hydroiodic acid, ascorbic acid, zinc powder, hydrazine, and Alnus extract. Thermal treatment of GO powders and GO films, obtained from pGFW was implemented at 20-300° C in air and at 20-1000° C under argon flow and in a vacuum. At high-temperature treatment (1000°C) of GO graphene was obtained with a defective structure.

The properties of a Cu-Pb oxide ore are investigated by XRD and SEM. Results show that the ore is characterized by chalcocite, galena, azurite and cerusite. Copper and lead phases analysis show that the oxidation rates of copper and lead are up to 70% and 72%, respectively. In order to get a good flotation performance for the difficult-to-treat ore, an efficient flotation technology of bulk flotation of Cu-Pb sulfides,separation of Cu-Pb sulfides, copper and lead oxides flotation has been developed. By applying the combined depressants (sodium thiosulfate + peroxide), activator Disulhydroxybenzen Thiodiazole (developed by Kunming Metallurgy Research Institute) in copper oxide flotation and sodium sulfide in flotation of lead oxide, chalcocite and galena can be separated and the Cu-Pb oxides can be activated. Results in closed circuit test show that when the feed assays 0.59% Cu, 2.40% Pb and 39.87 g/t Ag, marketable copper sulfide and oxide concentrates, lead sulfide and oxide concentrates can be obtained. At the same time, silver got enriched in the concentrates too. This study is expected to give a technical support in utilizing this complex Cu-Pb oxide ores.
