This study investigates the optimization of flotation parameters to enhance zinc recovery and concentrate quality. Detailed mineralogical and granulometric analyses revealed that sphalerite was the primary zinc-bearing mineral, finely disseminated within a gangue matrix dominated by quartz and dolomite. Experimental grinding tests indicated that milling for 42–45 min achieved optimal liberation at 74 µm, a critical threshold for effective flotation. Flotation trials were performed under varying conditions of copper sulfate activation, amyl xanthate dosage, and froth scraping times. The highest zinc recovery (86.31%) and concentrate grade (49.05%) were obtained at a collector dosage of 150 g/t, an activator dosage of 200 g/t, and a 7-min scraping duration. Kinetic modeling using both first-order and Kelsall’s two-component models confirmed the flotation system’s efficiency and highlighted the coexistence of fast- and slow-floating mineral fractions. Response surface methodology (RSM) further elucidated the nonlinear interaction between reagents, defining an optimal operating window. The study provides a comprehensive framework for industrial flotation optimization and demonstrates the value of integrating kinetic modeling with mineralogical characterization. These findings contribute to improving the economic and environmental performance of zinc beneficiation in polymetallic ore contexts.

However, the phenomenon of microgalvanic corrosion arising from the potential difference between the LPSO phase and the α-Mg matrix at their interface, as well as insufficient surface hardness, are the main problems of these alloys, necessitating surface modification for most applications. In this study, the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technology for treatment of light alloys was modified by adding cerium dioxide (CeO₂) particles to the electrolyte in order to improve the characteristics of oxide layers formed on a Mg–Y–Zn–Yb–Zr alloy with the LPSO phase.

However, the process’s steep thermal gradients induce residual stresses that can negatively impact material properties and part performance, often causing cracking, deformation, or compromised component geometry. Consequently, measuring and controlling these residual stresses is essential for successful L-PBF. Several studies have attempted to quantify residual stresses by designing geometries that deform predictably, including the Bridge Curvature Method (BCM). BCM is an indirect measurement approach that evaluates post-production distortion or warpage. It involves cutting a specially designed bridge-type specimen from its substrate, thereby releasing internal stresses and causing physical deformations measured as curvature changes. The magnitude of this curvature correlates with the thermal stresses experienced during fabrication. In this study, we investigate how laser power, scan speed, scan patterns, and second melting strategies affect residual stress and porosity in L-PBF-produced Ti6Al4V bridge-type specimens. Three distinct scan patterns—bidirectional laser scanning (zigzag), unidirectional island scanning (Chessboard 1), and bidirectional island scanning (Chessboard 2)—were each tested in both single-scan and double-scan (second melting) variations. Distortion in the specimens was quantified using BCM and correlated with residual stress levels, while relative density measurements based on Archimedes’ principle were used to determine porosity. The results were analyzed using ANOVA, providing insights and recommendations on how scanning strategies and laser parameters influence residual stress and porosity in Ti6Al4V. As a result, to minimize distortion, the Chessboard 1 strategy is most effective with single pass scanning at a scan speed of 800 mm/s. In contrast, to reduce porosity, the bidirectional scanning strategy yields optimal results with a laser power of 160 W and a scan speed of 900 mm/s.</p>","PeriodicalId":765,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Non-Ferrous Metals","volume":"66 4","pages":"165 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145341201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
