    Abstract: The objective of this paper is to enhance the adsorbing performance of the natural Egyptian phyllosilicate mineral, glauconite (greensand), through surface modification to obtain a particular combination of physical and chemical properties. It was found that Zn removal increased from 84% to 94%, while Pb removal varied from 96.67% to 99% by using f... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents the reduction mechanism of iron recovery from pure ferric oxide by the segregation roasting-magnetic separation process both from the chemical reaction and physical phenomena point of view. In segregation roasting process, coal is used as the reducing agent and calcium chloride as chlorinating agent. Segregation roasting of iron... Show More
