Features of Nanoflotation Technique – A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT Flotation method is majorly availed in two sectors: mining industry (for separation of metal ores) and in wastewater treatment process (both for municipal and industrial wastewaters) for separation of suspended solids, emulsions, chemical sludge or excess sludge. Traditional flotation relies on floating of solids (mainly suspended solids) on the top of the liquid by air bubbles (in conventional process they have and average diameter of 100–300 μm). Better separation …

PETROLEUM PRODUCTS: FRACTIONS OF CRUDE OIL
Abstract: Petroleum (also called crude oil), is a source of energy which is non-renewable. It is a naturally occurring liquid found beneath the Earth’s surface (Lithosphere) that can be refined into fuel. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, which means that it has been created by the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years. It is developed in sedimentary rock under severe heat and pressure. Petroleum or crude oil is a …
