Preg-robbing of Gold by Carbonaceous Materials Encountered in Gold Processing

Processing of gold from refractory ores containing carbonaceous materials (CM) poses challenges due to the ability of the CM to preg-rob dissolved gold. Depending on the type and maturity of CM encountered, preg-robbing of aurocyanide ion can lead to reduction in gold recovery ranging from a few percentages to more than 50%. Knowledge on the type of CM present, and its capacity for gold adsorption is important in predicting pre-treatment methods that can deactivate the CM and reduce its ability to preg-rob. This paper, as part of an on-going work, presents results on the degree of adsorption by the various carbonaceous materials encountered in gold processing, and estimates the amount of aurocyanide complex preg-robbed by them. To do this, various weights of carbonaceous materials (wood chips, charcoal, barren carbon and fresh activated carbon) were contacted with gold solution for a given period of time. The percentages of gold adsorbed on the various carbons were determined, and the results showed an increasing trend of preg-robbing in favour of wood chips &lt; charcoal &lt; barren carbon &lt; activated carbon. Of all the CMs, wood chips have not undergone any carbonisation and/or activation, and thus exhibited the lowest affinity. The adsorption capacities in grams of gold per tonne of carbon over a 24-hr period were 30-65 for wood chips, 320-370 for charcoal, 410-420 for barren carbon and 580-650 for activated carbon. The trend shows direct correlation with the activities and the degrees of graphitisation and maturity of the various carbonaceous materials. It is thus important to characterise carbonaceous gold ores to know the maturity of the CM present, which will inform on the pre-treatment processes required. Keywords: Preg-Robbing, Wood Chips, Charcoal, Activated Carbo

Airy-like patterns in heavy ion elastic scattering

A semiclassical analysis of an optical potential cross section is presented. The cross section considered is characterized by the appearance of an Airy-like pattern. This pattern is similar to that which is present in many cross sections, which fit the recent measurements of light heavy ion elastic scattering, and is considered as a manifestation of a rainbow phenomenon. The semiclassical analysis shows that, in the case considered, the oscillations arise from the interference between the contributions from two different terms of a multi-reflection expansion of the scattering function, and, therefore, cannot be associated with the rainbow phenomenon.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure

Aging Effects on the Exciton Relaxation and Diffusion Processes in CsPbBr 3 Nanocrystals

Fully inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have been widely investigated due to their potential as very interesting active materials for several types of photonic and optoelectronic devices. Despite several experiments designed to investigate the basic emission properties of these NCs, a clear and complete understanding of their photophysics is still missing. In this work, temperature-dependent steady state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements are used to investigate the nature of the emitting states, the origin of the excitation relaxation dynamics and the effects of aging upon long exposure to wet air for thin films of CsPbBr3 NCs prepared by coprecipitation. It is demonstrated that both free excitons and localized excitons contribute to the NC emission and that electron traps within the conduction band, approximate to 14 meV and approximate to 80 meV above the band edge, determine thermal emission quenching. Moreover, it is shown that the non-exponential PL relaxation dynamics are due to short-range energy migration within a disordered distribution of localized states between 10 and 100 K, with activation of a second, long-range diffusion process at higher temperatures. It is also demonstrated that aging determines the variations in defect levels, exciton-phonon coupling and exciton relaxation dynamics. The results substantially improve the current understanding of the basic photophysics of CsPbBr3 NC films and of the aging effects and are expected to provide a useful guide for future characterization of other similar materials

The Influence of Maternal Obesity and Breastfeeding on Infant Appetite- and Growth-Related Hormone Concentrations: The SKOT Cohort Studies.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Exposure to obesity during pregnancy may lead to adverse changes in the offspring's metabolic profile. We compared appetite- and growth-related hormones in a cohort of infants born to obese mothers (SKOT-II) with infants born mainly to nonobese mothers (SKOT-I). METHODS: Infants from SKOT-I (n = 273) and SKOT-II (n = 132) were examined including anthropometric measurements and blood samples analyzed for glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), adiponectin, and leptin. Information on breastfeeding and parental characteristics were also collected. RESULTS: At 9 months of age, SKOT-II infants were 3.6% heavier and 1.2% longer than SKOT-I infants even though their mothers were shorter. There was no difference in body mass index (BMI). SKOT-II infants had higher levels of insulin, adiponectin, and leptin but lower levels of IGF-I compared to SKOT-I infants (all p ≤ 0.015). These differences remained, except for leptin, when adjusted for current weight. Breastfeeding versus nonbreastfeeding at 9 months was associated with lower concentrations of all hormones (all p ≤ 0.003). In adjusted models, maternal BMI at 9 months was positively associated with insulin and adiponectin and negatively with IGF-I. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-pregnancy obesity confers symmetrically larger infant body size and higher levels of most growth- and appetite-related hormones but surprisingly lower levels of IGF-I, suggesting other possible infant growth-promoting effects through insulin

NMR-based metabolomic profiling of overweight adolescents:an elucidation of the effects of inter-/intraindividual differences, gender, and pubertal development

The plasma and urine metabolome of 192 overweight 12–15-year-old adolescents (BMI of 25.4 ± 2.3 kg/m2) were examined in order to elucidate gender, pubertal development measured as Tanner stage, physical activity measured as number of steps taken daily, and intra-/interindividual differences affecting the metabolome detected by proton NMR spectroscopy. Higher urinary excretion of citrate, creatinine, hippurate, and phenylacetylglutamine and higher plasma level of phosphatidylcholine and unsaturated lipid were found for girls compared with boys. The results suggest that gender differences in the metabolome are being commenced already in childhood. The relationship between Tanner stage and the metabolome showed that pubertal development stage was positively related to urinary creatinine excretion and negatively related to urinary citrate content. No relations between physical activity and the metabolome could be identified. The present study for the first time provides comprehensive information about associations between the metabolome and gender, pubertal development, and physical activity in overweight adolescents, which is an important subject group to approach in the prevention of obesity and life-style related diseases. While this study is preliminary, these results may have the potential to translate into clinical applicability upon further investigations; if biomarkers for Tanner stage can be established, these might be used for identification of individuals susceptible to an early pubertal development
