Article Abstract
In this work froth flotation studies with LiAlO (lithium-containing phase) and Melilite solid solution (gangue phase) are presented. The system was optimized with standard collectors and with compounds so far not applied as collectors. Furthermore, the principle of self-assembled monolayers was introduced to a froth flotation process for the first time resulting in excellent yields and selectivities.

Currently, the low purity and complex nature of metal ion chelating peptides (MPs) limit their application effectiveness. This study developed a novel method for the efficient preparation of MPs via zinc ion-chelating froth flotation, achieving a 19.2 % yield of high-purity MPs.

Fluorite and calcite have identical calcium active sites, rendering their flotation separation challenging. Herein, a novel surfactant 4-((2-octyldodecyl)oxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid (TEUA) with double hydrophobic chains and an ester group was designed as a fluorite flotation collector. Microflotation results indicated that TEUA could selectively separate fluorite from calcite at pH ∼ 8.

In the wake of global energy transition and the "dual-carbon" goal, the rapid growth of electric vehicles has posed challenges for large-scale lithium-ion battery decommissioning. Retired batteries exhibit dual attributes of strategic resources (cobalt/lithium concentrations several times higher than natural ores) and environmental risks (heavy metal pollution, electrolyte toxicity). This paper systematically reviews pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical recovery technologies, identifying bottlenecks: high energy/lithium loss in pyrometallurgy, and corrosion/cost/solvent regeneration issues in hydrometallurgy.

Froth flotation effectively separates anode graphite from cathode active materials (CAMs) of spent lithium-ion batteries when CAM particles are free of organic binders, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This study investigated a bio-based solvent, dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene ), as a pretreatment to remove the PVDF binder from both single chemistry black mass (BM) and industrially produced mixed chemistry black mass (IBM). The subsequent flotation combined with high-intensity attritioning improved CAMs and graphite separation efficiency compared to that of mechanical pretreatment alone, increasing from 0.
