Article Abstract
A methodology to use laser printing, a form of electrophotography, to print metal chalcogenide complexes on paper, is described. After fusing the toner to paper, a heating step is used to cause the printed metal xanthate complexes to thermolyze within the toner and form three target metal chalcogenides: CuS, SnS, and ZnS. To achieve this, we synthesize a poly(styrene---butyl acrylate) thermopolymer that emulates the thermal properties of a commercial toner and is also solution processable with the metal xanthate complexes used: [Zn(SCOEt)], [Cu(SCOEt)·(PPh)], and [Sn(SCOEt)]. We demonstrate through energy dispersive X-ray mapping that the toner is deposited following printing and that thermolysis of the metal xanthate complexes occurs in the fused toner, demonstrating the first example of laser printing of inorganic complexes and, in turn, semiconductors.

Mining activities release a substantial quantity of toxic metals and organic flotation reagents into the aquatic environment, causing severe pollution and potential health risks. However, the synergisms and mechanisms associated with these mixed pollutants are largely overlooked. The combined application of atomic force microscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, and quantum chemical calculations revealed that cadmium (Cd) was capable of forming tridentate coordination complexes with typical organic beneficiation reagents, namely xanthates (ethyl, isopropyl, and butyl xanthates).

Context: Environmental contamination by heavy metals is increasing due to population growth and industrial activity, which is having a major impact on the environment. Xanthates, which form stable complexes with metals, are used to remove them from aqueous environments. Known for their role in ore flotation, these compounds also have applications in the biological field and thin film production.

The aim of this study is to explore the feasibility of using flotation wastewater from copper-porphyry ore processing to synthesize a gel that serves as a precursor for a polymer nanocomposite used in supercapacitor electrode fabrication. These wastewaters-characterized by high acidity and elevated concentrations of metal cations (Cu, Ni, Zn, Fe), sulfates, and organic reagents such as xanthates, oil (20 g/t ore), flotation frother (methyl isobutyl carbinol), and pyrite depressant (CaO, 500-1000 g/t), along with residues from molybdenum flotation (sulfuric acid, sodium hydrosulfide, and kerosene)-are byproducts of copper-porphyry gold-bearing ore beneficiation. The reduction of Ni powder in the wastewater induces the degradation and formation of a gel that captures both residual metal ions and organic compounds-particularly xanthates-which play a crucial role in the subsequent steps.

The efficient flotation separation between chalcopyrite and pyrite is considered challenging under weak alkaline conditions due to their similar floatability characteristics. In this work, based on the differences in the chemical valence states of Fe atoms on chalcopyrite and pyrite, an innovative depressant system combining sodium sulfide (NaS) and proanthocyanidins (PC) was proposed. In artificial mixed ore tests, compared with a single PC, a higher separation efficiency between chalcopyrite and pyrite is achieved when the combined depressants 20 mg/L NaS and 40 mg/L PC are employed.
