• Alginates as Green Flocculants for Metal Oxide Nanoparticles 

      Slabov, Vladislav; Jain, Garima; Chernyshova, Irina; Kota, Hanumantha Rao; Ertesvåg, Helga (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Flocculation is used for the removal or separation of colloids, e.g. in water treatment and mineral processing. Alginates are linear, anionic biopolymers composed of mannuronic (M) and guluronic (G) acids. The relative ...
    • Application of glucolipid bola-amphiboles biosurfactant in mineral processing 

      Dhar, Priyanka; Chernyshova, Irina; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Kota, Hanumantha Rao (Chapter, 2021)
      Yeast-derived amphiboles have attracted considerable attention for their applications in various industrial sectors. However, only a few studies on this class of surfactant have been reported to be relevant to mineral ...
    • Bioreagents in froth flotation and flocculation of copper, iron and cerium oxides 

      Slabov, Vladislav (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:29, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
    • Green foam-based methods of mineral and ion separation 

      Jain, Garima; Havskjold, Håkon; Dhar, Priyanka; Ertesvåg, Helga; Chernyshova, Irina; Kota, Hanumantha Rao (Chapter, 2020)
      We discuss an important gap in the literature on progress toward the development of green (microbial-derived) reagents in conventional (froth flotation) and emerging (foam flotation)separation methods. For comparison, we ...
    • Toward Green Flotation: Interaction of a Sophorolipid Biosurfactant with a Copper Sulfide 

      Dhar, Priyanka; Havskjold, Håkon; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Kota, Hanumantha Rao; Chernyshova, Irina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have sparked growing interest in biosurfactants from many surfactant-loaded industries including those utilizing froth flotation for mineral separation. However, the ...
