Abstract: Apparatus featuring synthetic bubbles or beads and a flotation stage. The synthetic bubbles or beads are configured with a polymer or polymer-based material functionalized to attach to the valuable material in a mixture to form at least some enriched synthetic bubbles or beads having the valuable material attached thereto, and also configured to be transported through the mixture based at least partly on a characteristic of the synthetic bubbles or beads. The flotation stage has the mixture containing valuable material, and is configured to receive the synthetic bubbles or beads and to provide the at least some enriched synthetic bubbles or beads having the valuable material attached thereto based at least partly the characteristic of the synthetic bubbles or beads.

Abstract: A tailored multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media having at least two adjacent layers of nano-fibrous media and a method for making is presently disclosed. The method comprises selecting an overall mean flow pore size for tailoring the multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media, choosing a first layers of nano-fibrous media, calculating an overall mean flow pore size (OMFP) of the tailored multilayered nano-fibrous filtration media, determining if the calculated OMFP is approximately equal to the selected OMFP, if not approximately equal then choosing a different number of layers chosen or choosing at least one layer having a porosity or mean flow pore size different than the previously chosen layer of nano-fibrous media, and adjacently layering each finally chosen layer of nano-fibrous media.

Abstract: An apparatus for collecting mineral particles in a slurry or the tailings is disclosed. The apparatus may take the form of a filter, a conveyor belt or an impeller to be used in a processor to collect mineral particles in the slurry, or in a tailings pond to collect mineral particles in the tailings. The filter, conveyor belt or impeller has a collection area made of or coated with a synthetic material having a functional group, either anionic or cationic to attach to the mineral particles. Alternatively, the synthetic material has hydrophobic molecules to render the collection area hydrophobic. When the mineral particles in the slurry or tailings are combined with collector molecules, the mineral particles also become hydrophobic. The hydrophobic mineral particles are attracted to the hydrophobic collection area. The filter, conveyor belt and impeller may have a plurality of passage ways in order to increase the contacting surfaces.
