Atmospheric curing of zinc sulfide concentrate by sulfuric acid below 300°C by Deng F.-L., Xu G.-X., Fan W.-W., Li S., Ma R.-X.

“…Because the traditional roasting-leaching-electrowinning zinc hydrometallurgy process has a small sulfuric acid sales radius and a high inventory pressure, the process of direct leaching zinc concentrate is gaining popularity, but the pressurized leaching process is a high-pressure condition, which requires strict equipment material and high safety requirements. Furthermore, the atmospheric leaching efficiency is low and generally introduces impurities and chloride ions, which increase the cost of subsequent decontamination. …”

Investigating the stability of the yield strength of the friction stir welding joint of similar amorphous thermoplastic based on the Ordered Weighted Averaging operators by N. Sadeghian, A.R. Chaji

“…In the current article, attention to high orness and the goal of stabilizing the maximum yield strength of the joint is achieved by selecting high levels of the aspect ratio of diameters and linear velocities with medium levels of rotational speed as well as low levels of the tilt angle of the tool. Conical tools lead to the most stable joint with a 10% variation on the weld line (for run #20) and the most strengthened one with an 18% variation on the weld line (for run #30) with 80% and 100% efficiency compared to the base material, respectively.…”
