Estimation of the Pitzer Parameters for 1-1, 2-1, 1-2, 3-1, and 1-3 Single Electrolytes at 25 °C

Abstract The Pitzer model is widely used in process models for determining the thermodynamic properties of concentrated aqueous electrolytes. The main drawback is the need for experimentally determined parameters for each ion pair in the system. The estimation of unknown Pitzer p...

Assessment of mineralogical and chemical quantification of spodumene ore (Li) using a rapid compact XRF–XRD analyzer on-site: Impact of sample preparation on analytical results

Ore variability remains a major challenge for grade control and metallurgical performance, emphasizing the need for detailed mineralogical characterization to support process optimization and quantitative assessment of ore deportment. This study evaluates a combined XRF-XRD appro...
