Interaction of rough ellipsoidal particles with random surface asperities in colloidal systems

Duowei Lu et al.

Summary: This study developed a mathematical model based on the XDLVO theory and SEI to simulate the interaction energy between ellipsoidal particles with rough surfaces. The results showed that fractal roughness on particle surfaces increased surface roughness and weakened total interaction energy. Ellipsoidal particles provided greater interaction energy than spherical particles due to their larger interaction area. Increasing particle size strengthened interaction energy, while amplifying the aspect ratio diminished it. The orientation angle of ellipsoidal particles also affected their interaction.

A critical review of artificial intelligence in mineral concentration

Allan Gomez-Flores et al.

Summary: This article reviews the application of artificial intelligence in various unit operations for mineral concentration. Using AI for yield prediction can add value to control, as the yields are not necessarily linearly correlated with input variables. The current research neglects fundamental variables as inputs, and instrumentation and industrial simplicity have hindered their consideration.

Occurrence of microplastic particles in the most popular Iranian bottled mineral water brands and an assessment of human exposure

Pouran Makhdoumi et al.

Summary: Microplastics have been detected in popular brands of bottled mineral water in Iran, with fragment and fiber shapes being the most common. The average concentration of MP particles was approximately 8.5 particles/L. While most samples contained MPs, 20% did not. Human exposure to microplastics through bottled mineral water was found to be negligible, with daily and annual intake levels well below established safety thresholds.
