摘要:
Copper is recovered from copper sulfide flotation concentrates or any copper sulfide ore without emitting significant amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Balls or pellets of the copper sulfide and lime are formed and roasted to produce a shell of reaction products, which includes anhydrite (CaSO4) and oxidized copper, and to cause oxidation of the copper sulfide minerals at the shell/core interface whereby SO2 formed in the reaction must pass through the shell before release and is largely converted to anhydrite. The temperature is controlled to prevent escalation, thereby to retain the sulfur in solid form during the roast and also to prevent formation of copper ferrite (CuO.Fe2O3). Copper is recovered from the pellet product by sulfuric acid leaching followed by direct electrowinning in a preferred embodiment although solvent extraction/electrowinning and cementation are contemplated.

摘要:
Synthesis of steroids by cyclization of a dienyne terminating at one end of the molecule in an acetylenic group and at the other end in a cyclohexene ring wherein the olefinic group forms an allylic group with a substituent such as a thioketal or hydroxy group. Invention includes novel synthesis of the cyclization substrate, novel substrate and novel intermediates, whereby resolution of racemic mixtures and the production of d, l and dl enantiomers are made possible.
摘要:
A method and system for scanning an energetic image to convert the information in the energetic image into an electrical signal. A semiconductor has an electrical field applied thereto to increase the average depletion layer width of the semiconductor by charging the semiconductor surface states. The energetic image is impinged upon the semiconductor and begins discharging the surface states in accordance with intensity variations in the image to produce depletion layer with variations. A piezoelectric substrate is situated adjacent to the semiconductor. A reading acoustic surface wave is propagated along the piezoelectric substrate along one dimension of the semiconductor. The amplitude of the reading wave is modulated by the depletion layer width perturbations of the semiconductor so that an output acoustic wave is formed. The output acoustic wave is converted to an electrical signal having amplitude variations corresponding to the depletion layer width perturbations of the semiconductor. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention two dimensional scanning of the semiconductor is achieved through propagating a plurality of reading acoustic surface waves differing in frequency from each other and spaced from each other along a second dimension of the semiconductor film.
