    Abstract
    In this work, the recovery of rhenium from ferromolybdenum furnace outgoing dust in semi industrial scale was conducted. The ferromolybdenum furnace outgoing dust contains rhenium as major part and large amounts of molybdenum plus Iron and copper as impurities. An overall flow sheet, consist of leaching, solvent extraction and precipitation methods, was design to recovery and purification of rhenium. Firstly, ferromolybdenum furnace outgoing dust was subjected to leaching treatment by 10 g/L sulfuric as solvent at 85 C. Secondly, solvent extraction method was employed, using LIX984N 10 %vol, to separate copper from rhenium containing solution. The results of MacCab thiele diagram for... 

    Leaching of Copper Sulfide Concentrate in Ammoniacal Thiosulphate Solution

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Saeedazar, Ali (Author) ; Yoozbashizadeh, Hossein (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In recent decades, various studies have performed on leaching of sulphide ores in ammoniacal thiosulphate solution for the recovery of precious metals such as gold and silver and significant results have been gained. In this study, the ammonia thiosulfate solution utilized to dissolve copper sulfide concentrate, which contained chalcopyrite. The effect of various parameters such as grain size, thiosulfate and ammonia concentration, solid to liquid ratio, temperature and pH in turbulent leaching process were considered to obtain the optimum conditions in the laboratory scale. The outcomes obtained by chemical analysis were evaluated. The results demonstrate that maximum dissolution (26.72%)... 

    Fluoride Removal from Sludge's of Evaporation Lagoons of Isfahan’s UCF Plant

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Khayambashi, Afshin (Author) ; Samadfam, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Firouz Zare, Mahmoud (Co-Advisor) ; Ghasemi, Mohamad Reza (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Nuclear energy is one of the most important sources of energy from the economical point of view and also in terms of cleanliness and safety. Hence, strategically, uranium is one of the most basic elements of the earth and nowadays, the importance of this element is more marked due to the nuclear industry developement. Therefore, uranium recovery from the wastes generated during nuclear fuel production in Isfahan’s uranium conversion plant- in which yellow cake is converted to uranium hexafluoride- is quite pivotal. In this experimental research, we have to remove Fluoride from waste after dissolution by several methods like precipitation. After that uranium is extracted from the sludge of... 

    Modelling Evaporation & Salinity Variation in Saline Lakes Using Spatial System Dynamics: The Case of Urmia Lake

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Sima, Somayeh (Author) ; Tajrishy, Masoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Evaporation is the most important water loss from terminal lakes which can influence the chemistry of lakes. In large lakes, the spatial distributions of meteorological and water quality variables affect the evaporation rates. Therefore, it is crucial to consider such variations in estimating evaporation rates from large lakes. This study aims at developing an evaporation estimation model for saline lakes considering salinity and spatial distribution of variables in/over the lakes and investigating the interaction between meteorological, hydrological and water quality variables in natural saline systems. To accomplish these objectives, first a distributed model was developed for estimating... 

    Modeling of Dissolution of Sluge from Evaporation Lagoons of Isfahan's UCF Plant

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mireskandari, Seyed Mohammad Mahdi (Author) ; Samadfam, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Charkhi, Amir (Supervisor) ; Otukesh, Mohammad (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Uranium conversion process is one of the most important stages in nuclear fuel cycle. The Uranium Conversion Facilities (UFC) of Iran is located in Isfahan. In this plant, the Yellowcake (impure uranium oxide, U3O8) is converted to Uranium hexa-fluoride, UF6. During the process, considerable amounts of uranium-containing liquid waste are generated. This liquid waste was collected in evaporation pools inside the UCF Plant. In the course of time, a thick layer of precipitated salt form in bottom of the pools which are collected and stored in drums inside a building. This solid waste contains uranium at concentration levels much higher than that permitted for land disposal of the waste.... 

    Pore Scale Experimental Study of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid Dissolution, Flow and Distribution in Heterogeneous Porous Media

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ramezanzadeh, Mehdi (Author) ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Hossein (Supervisor) ; Fatemi, Mobeen (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this work, a pore-scale analysis of nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) flow, transport, dissolution, and mobilization in heterogeneous and homogeneous porous media was presented. First, dissolution processes and distribution of NAPL phase were investigated using micromodel experiments. The tests were conducted at different injection rates in NAPL-saturated porous media using distilled water, surfactant, and nanoparticles-assisted surfactant. Changes in residual NAPL volume and interfacial area were measured using image analysis method to calculate the mass transfer coefficient, k, and the lumped mass transfer rate coefficient, K. Based on the experimental results, empirical Sherwood... 

    Synthesis and Comparison Dissolution of Silver Nanopowder with Various Morphologie

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Godary, Toktam (Author) ; Halali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Silver nanopowder is of great importance for various medical and industrial applications. Due to the significance of the solubility of silver nanoparticles in these applications as well as the high impact of the nanophysical morphology of the powder on their solubility, we prepared nanoparticles with plate morphology by the chemical reduction of silver nitrate in a soluble phase. Then we measure its solubility in a phosphate buffer salt, which greatly resembles the human blood chemically. The size and shape of the resulting nanosilver powder and also the use of non-toxic materials in their synthesis are important factors in the production of nanosilver powder.We confirmed the successful...

    Scale Formation in Porous Media and its Impact on Reservoir Performance During Water Flooding

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Abedi, Emad (Author) ; Masihi, Mohsen (Supervisor) ; Taghikhani, Vahid (Co-Supervisor) ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Hossein (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Mineral scale precipitation and carbonate rock dissolution are among the most important reactions that usually occur during water injection in oil reservoirs. These reactions happen due to incompatibility between formation water and injection water as well as deviation from equilibrium conditions. These reactions must be considered precisely because of the fact that they result in variation of reservoir porosity and permeability which affects recovery factor. In this study, the effect of injection pressure on these variations during single-phase water flooding is examined accurately. Additionally, the changes of ion concentration and the amount of dissolved or precipitated calcite or...
