Industry:Mining
A solid-stabilized emulsion that tends to collect at the agueous/organic interface in the settler of a solvent extraction circuit.
Industry:Mining
A solid-tube sampler with a slight twist on the bottom and an offset slit in the side. When rotated, the lip of the slit scrapes a sample from the side of a borehole.
Industry:Mining
A soluble substance, such as lime, which, when added to a suspension of very fine solid particles in water, causes these particles to adhere in clusters that will settle easily. Used to assist in reclaiming water used in flotation.
Industry:Mining
A soluble, crystalline acidic compound; C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH ; has a characteristic odor. It is present in coal tar and in wood tar. It is a powerful caustic poison and in a dilute solution, a useful disinfectant. Used chiefly in making resins and plastics, dyes, and 2309 pharmaceuticals (such as aspirin).
