• 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Studies of nanoparticles-bacteria interactions to develop potential bio-based reagents for separation of fine mineral particles. 

      Jain, Garima (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:284, Doctoral thesis, 2022)
      The increasing demand for minerals worldwide and the depletion of high-grade ores necessitate the extraction of minerals from low-grade ores. This requires processing the low-grade ores to fine and ultra-fine particles to ...
