      Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw; Dan, Oliric Manaig; Drivenes, Kristian; Snook, Ben; Aasly, Kurt; Kleiv, Rolf Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper reports the leaching of seafloor massive sulphides (SMS) from the Loki’s Castle area at the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge in sulphuric acid with manganese dioxide and sodium chloride. The results presented are of various ...
    • Heterocoagulation of shale particles and bubbles in the presence of ionic surfactants 

      Polowczyk, Izabela; Kruszelnicki, Mateusz; Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Adsorption of surfactants is one of the important feature governing interactions between particulate matters. When interactions occur between two particulates, which differ from each other, heterocoagulation takes place. ...

      In this paper, kinetics of flotation of naturally hydrophobic polystyrene platelets with the same roundness, solidity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity but different basic shapes i.e. circular, square and triangular, ...
    • Non-HF collectorless flotation of quartz 

      Larsen, Erik; Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw; Kleiv, Rolf Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Pure mineral flotation experiments have demonstrated that quartz can be floated without a collector, in solutions containing an inorganic acid (e.g. H2SO4) and sodium fluoride (NaF). Excellent quartz recoveries, similar ...
    • Oil agglomeration of metal-bearing shale in the presence of mixed cationic-anionic surfactants 

      Polowczyk, Izabela; Kruszelnicki, Mateusz; Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper reports oil agglomeration of fine metal-bearing shale particles in the presence of cationic (dodecylamine hydrochloride) and anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate) surfactants and their mixture. The experimental results ...
    • Recent Advancements in Metallurgical Processing of Marine Minerals 

      Ochromowicz, Katarzyna; Aasly, Kurt; Kowalczuk, Przemyslaw (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Polymetallic manganese nodules (PMN), cobalt-rich manganese crusts (CRC) and seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) have been identified as important resources of economically valuable metals and critical raw materials. The ...
