Understanding the flocculation mechanism of quartz and kaolinite with polyacrylamide in seawater: A molecular dynamics approach

Trabajo de investigación desarrollado por el Dr. Pedro Robles. Publicado en la revista Colloids and Surfaces A.

Abstract: The scarcity of water resources for mining activities drives the search for new low-quality water sources such as well-water and seawater.

Improved dispersion of clay-rich tailings in seawater using sodium polyacrylate

Trabajo de investigación desarrollado por el Dr. Pedro Robles. Publicado en la revista Colloids and Surfaces A.

Abstract:Stabilization of synthetic clay-rich tailings in seawater with sodium polyacrylate (NaPA) has been studied by measurements of yield stress, viscoelastic moduli, zeta potential, and particle chord length distribution.

Towards in situ electro-generation of ferrate for drinking water treatment: A comparison of three low-cost sacrificial iron electrodes

Trabajo de investigación desarrollado por la Dra. Macarena Cataldo Publicado en la revista Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry.

Leaching Chalcopyrite with an Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid and Bromide

Trabajo de investigación desarrollado por el Dr. Pedro Robles. Publicado en la revista Minerals.

Abstract: The unique properties of ionic liquids (ILs) drive the growing number of novel applications in different industries. The main features of ILs are high thermal stability, recyclability, low flash point, and low vapor pressure.
