Enrichment of Low-Grade Hematite Ore Tailings in Plant Scale
Access to hematite mines for the production of concentrate above 60% is based on domestic and foreign market demand in previous years in Iran. In this way, the lack of use of advanced machines and methods has led to the accumulation of numerous depots called tailing. With increasing market demand and shortage of hematite reserves, […]

Accurate Measurement of Lithium and Bromine in Various Types of Brine, Extraction and Separation Methods on an Industrial Scale
The brine contains salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals. The concentration of calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium cations is ten thousand times that of lithium. In the existing measurement methods, we encounter cationic interference for lithium, and on the other hand, it is very difficult to separate this valuable element in low concentrations with […]

Conversion of Calcium Sulfate as a By-Product to the Grade of Gypsum as Construction Materials
Calcium sulfate is a byproduct of the most with the sulfuric acid chemical processes. In many cases, this product is turned into a dry cake with high purity in the factory after separation, filtration and washing.Despite its high purity and gypsum phase conversion, it cannot be used as a construction material. Therefore, many industries face […]

Extraction and Separation of Rare Earth Elements From Their Concentrate with Apatite Base
Extraction and separation of rare earth elements from their concentrate with apatite base. Concentrate of rare earth elements with apatite concentrate base contains 30% of LREE,HREE and MREE that have gained the knowledge of its technology. Also, we have even reached the separation of Cerium, Lanthanum and Neodymium. The Challenge: Isolation and extraction of other […]

Reduction of Iron in the Production Process of Nepheline Syenite Concentrate
The nepheline syenite mineral is processed in a concentrate factory and its iron is reduced.Iron is considered as a pollutant and reducing its amount leads to an increase in the added value of the final product. In this way, we have reached operational technologies to reduce the grade of iron and other pollutants.Our challenge is […]

Power Cut for Industries During Peak Consumption
At the time of a power outage, the industry sector is in the first line of outages and restrictions. This problem has arisen due to the higher demand compared to the power supply in the country, and if it is not resolved immediately, it will be repeated with greater extent and intensity in the coming […]
Ecological and climatic migrations
The human population is placed in an ecological context that supports and also limits human activities. Migration, as one of the types of human actions, expresses the relationship between humans and the environment. Human population movements have been closely related to ecological changes, both cumulative and acute. Permanent or temporary migration has always been one […]
Commercialization of weather data
Weather data is a key factor in good governance. The country’s weather information infrastructure is a type of data infrastructure developed to collect, update and share weather information. This data infrastructure includes laws and policies, standards, organizations and people, access networks, and data. Therefore, it is considered one of the vital infrastructures in every developed […]
Managing water resources in the countries of the Middle East region and its geopolitical effects on the intensity and extent of dust occurrence
The issue of water and shared watersheds in West and Southwest Asia is one of the current challenges in this region. The consequences of the problems caused by the physical and economic lack of water at the level and extent of the countries of this region have been visible in recent years. The expansion of […]
