Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Coal fly ash (CFA), produced in coal-fired power plants, is categorized as hazardous waste and has caused serious environmental impacts. The CFA contains significant amounts of critical metals and can be considered as a secondary resource for these metals. Therefore, through an appropriate recycling process, reducing CFA stocks helps to reduce its severe environmental impacts and to provide a potential metal resource. In the current research, a spent-medium bioleaching process with Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas koreensis was introduced for recovering germanium , vanadium, and lithium from CFA. For this purpose, organic acids were produced with the mentioned microorganisms and used for leaching experiments after salt roasting CFA with Na 2 CO 3 . The effect of different parameters has been investigated for CFA leaching in the presence of biogenic acids. The results showed that the highest recoveries of metals were obtained for the leaching test with organic acids produced by Ps. putida , at 500 rpm agitation speed, 3% pulp density and 75 °C. The Ge, V, and Li recoveries at optimum conditions were 83%, 98% and 97%, respectively. Kinetic modeling was employed to determine the effect of different parameters on the leaching efficiency. The results showed that reagent diffusion to the surface of the particles was a rate-limiting step in the leaching process. The activation energies for Ge, V and Li leaching, were 37.1 kJ/mol, 28.6 kJ/mol and 15.7 kJ/mol, respectively.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
