Recovery of Scandium from Bauxite Residue Using Sulfation Roasting-Assisted Water Leaching Process

Here, this study presents a method for recovering scandium from Indonesian bauxite residue (red mud) through a sulfation roasting-assisted water leaching process. Ammonium sulfate, (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , was chosen as the sulfate source for its lower melting point, less corrosivity, decreased toxicity, and the potential for ammonia recovery. A modified mixing system was introduced to improve the distribution of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 on red mud particles by combining them in water. A series of experiments were conducted to optimize the sulfation roasting process by examining the effects of the (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 /red mud ratio, temperature, and roasting time. Subsequently, water leaching was optimized while considering the effect of leaching time and liquid-to-solid (L/S) ratio. The leaching of scandium from the roasted red mud showed rapid kinetics, even when using only water. Under the roasting conditions of 1/1 (g/g) (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 /red mud ratio, 700°C, 60 min roasting time, and the leaching conditions of 65°C, 60 min, and 10 mL/g (L/S), over 90% of scandium was recovered, along with 64.4% Al leaching and below 8% Fe leaching. These results were further corroborated through comprehensive analyses such as x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). This study offers insights into an alternative, more environmentally friendly method for Sc recovery from red mud, promoting the sustainable use of hazardous waste like red mud.

Experimental observations of multiple modes of filamentary structures in the magnetized dusty plasma experiment (MDPX) device

Due to the small charge-to-mass ratio of dust particles, it is often necessary to use large magnetic fields of B ≥ 1 T, in order to observe the influence of magnetic forces in laboratory dusty plasmas. However, when experiments are performed at high magnetic fields in capacitively coupled, radio frequency discharges used for these dusty plasma experiments, the plasma is often observed to form filamentary structures between the electrodes that are aligned to the external magnetic field which disrupt the uniformity of the plasma and adversely impact some of our dusty plasma experiments. Recent experiments performed in the Magnetized Dusty Plasma Experiment device seek to identify and characterize these filamentary structures. This paper discusses the morphology of several distinct filamentary modes that are formed in low temperature argon plasmas. Three different spatial modes of filaments that appear to be strongly dependent on the magnetic field and neutral pressure are identified. There is strong evidence that each spatial mode has a threshold condition that is dependent on the ion Hall parameter. The criteria for the formation of the filaments are shown to be consistent with predictions of recent numerical simulations.

A Visual Analytics Approach for Correlation, Classification, and Regression Analysis

New approaches that combine the strengths of humans and machines are necessary to equip analysts with the proper tools for exploring today's increasing complex, multivariate data sets. In this paper, a novel visual data mining framework, called the Multidimensional Data eXplorer (MDX), is described that addresses the challenges of today's data by combining automated statistical analytics with a highly interactive parallel coordinates based canvas. In addition to several intuitive interaction capabilities, this framework offers a rich set of graphical statistical indicators, interactive regression analysis, visual correlation mining, automated axis arrangements and filtering, and data classification techniques. The current work provides a detailed description of the system as well as a discussion of key design aspects and critical feedback from domain experts.

Mars Exploration Rover Operations with the Science Activity Planner

The Science Activity Planner (SAP) is the primary science operations tool for the Mars Exploration Rover mission and NASA's Software of the Year for 2004. SAP utilizes a variety of visualization and planning capabilities to enable the mission operations team to direct the activities of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. This paper outlines some of the challenging requirements that drove the design of SAP and discusses lessons learned from the development and use of SAP in mission operations.

The Ensemble Canon

Ensemble is an open architecture for the development, integration, and deployment of mission operations software. Fundamentally, it is an adaptation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), a widespread, stable, and supported framework for component-based application development. By capitalizing on the maturity and availability of the Eclipse RCP, Ensemble offers a low-risk, politically neutral path towards a tighter integration of operations tools. The Ensemble project is a highly successful, ongoing collaboration among NASA Centers. Since 2004, the Ensemble project has supported the development of mission operations software for NASA's Exploration Systems, Science, and Space Operations Directorates.
