Item A room-temperature cathodic electrolytic process was developed in the laboratory to recover zinc from industrial leach residues. The various parameters affecting the electroleaching process were studied using a statistically designed experiment. To understand the mechanisms behind the electrode processes, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic studies were carried out. The role of Einh measurements in monitoring such an electroleaching procedure is also shown. Since significant amounts of iron were also present in the leach liquor, attempts were made to purify it before zinc recovery by electrowinning. Reductive dissolution and creation of anion vacancies were found to be responsible for the dissolution of zinc ferrite present in the leach residue. A flow sheet of the process is given. © 1987.(Electroleaching of Zinc leach residues) Bhat, K.L.; Natarajan, K.A.; Ramachandran, T.1987Item Grinding wear behaviour of stepped austempered ductile Iron as media material during comminution of Iron ore in ball mills(2010) Raghavendra, H.; Bhat, K.L.; Udupa, K.R.; Hegde, M.M.R.An attempt has been made to evaluate the suitability of austempered ductile iron (ADI) as media material for grinding iron ore in a ball mill. Spheroidal graphite (S.G) iron balls are austenitised at 900�C for 60 minutes and given stepped austempering treatment at 280�C for 30 minutes and 60 minutes followed by 380�C for 60 minutes in each case. These materials are characterised by measuring hardness, analysing X-ray diffraction (X-RD), studying microstructure using optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Grinding wear behaviour of these materials was assessed for wear loss in wet condition at different pH value of the mineral slurry and found that the wear rate of grinding media material decreases with increase in pH of the slurry. The wear resistance of ADI balls were compared with forged En31 steel balls and found that the stepped austempered ductile iron is superior to forged En31 steel balls. � 2010 American Institute of Physics.Item Grinding wear behaviour of stepped austempered ductile Iron as media material during comminution of Iron ore in ball mills(2010) Raghavendra, H.; Bhat, K.L.; Udupa, K.R.; Rajath Hegde, M.M.R.An attempt has been made to evaluate the suitability of austempered ductile iron (ADI) as media material for grinding iron ore in a ball mill.
