NIEHS REPORT onHealth Effects from Exposure to Power-Line Frequency Electric and Magnetic FieldsPrepared in Response to the 1992 Energy Policy Act(PL 102-486, Section 2118)National Institute of Environmental Health SciencesNational Institutes of HealthDr. Kenneth Olden, DirectorPrepared by theNIEHS EMF-RAPID Program StaffNIH Publication No. 99-4493Supported by the NIEHS/DOEDEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health ServiceNational Institutes of HealthNational Institute ofEnvironmental Health SciencesP. O. Box 12233Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 May 4, 1999Dear Reader:In 1992, the U.S. Congress authorized the Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination Program (EMF-RAPID Program) in the Energy Policy Act. The Congress instructed the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to direct and manage a program of research and analysis aimed at providing scientific evidence to clarify the potential for health risks from exposure to extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields (ELF-EMF). The EMF-RAPID Program had three basic components: 1) a research program focusing on health effects research, 2) information compilation and public outreach and 3) a health assessment for evaluation of any potential hazards arising from exposure to ELF-EMF. The NIEHS was directed to oversee the health effects research and evaluation, and the DOE was given the responsibility for overall administration of funding and engineering research aimed at characterizing and mitigating these fields. The Director of the NIEHS was mandated upon completion of the Program to provide this report outlining the possible human health risks associated with exposure to ELF-EMF. The scientific evidence used in preparation of this report has undergone extensive scientific and public review. The entire process was open and transparent. Anyone who wanted “to have a say” was provided the opportunity.The scientific evidence suggesting that ELF-EMF exposures pose any health risk is weak. The strongest evidence for health effects comes from associations observed in human populations with two forms of cancer: childhood leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in occupationally exposed adults. While the support from individual studies is weak, the epidemiological studies demonstrate, for some methods of measuring exposure, a fairly consistent pattern of a small, increased risk with increasing exposure that is somewhat weaker for chronic lymphocytic leukemia than for childhood leukemia. In contrast, the mechanistic studies and the animal toxicology literature fail to demonstrate any consistent pattern across studies although sporadic findings of biological effects have been reported. No indication of increased leukemias in experimental animals has been observed.The lack of connection between the human data and the experimental data (animal and mechanistic) severely complicates the interpretation of these results. The human data are in the "right" species, are tied to "real life" exposures and show some consistency that is difficult to ignore. This assessment is tempered by the observation that given the weak magnitude of these increased risks, some other factor or common source of error could explain these findings. However, no consistent explanation other than exposure to ELF-EMF has been identified.Page 2Epidemiological studies have serious limitations in their ability to demonstrate a cause and effect relationship whereas laboratory studies, by design, can clearly show that cause and effect are possible. Virtually all of the laboratory evidence in animals and humans and most of the mechanistic work done in cells fail to support a causal relationship between exposure to ELF-EMF at environmental levels and changes in biological function or disease status. The lack of consistent, positive findings in animal or mechanistic studies weakens the belief that this association is actually due to ELF-EMF, but it cannot completely discount the epidemiological findings.The NIEHS concludes that ELF-EMF exposure cannot be recognized at this time as entirely safe because of weak scientific evidence that exposure may pose a leukemia hazard. In my opinion, the conclusion of this report is insufficient to warrant aggressive regulatory concern. However, because virtually everyone in the United States uses electricity and therefore is routinely exposed to ELF-EMF, passive regulatory action is warranted such as a continued emphasis on educating both the public and the regulated community on means aimed at reducing exposures. The NIEHS does not believe that other cancers or non-cancer health outcomes provide sufficient evidence of a risk to currently warrant concern. The interaction of humans with ELF-EMF is complicated and will undoubtedly continue to be an area of public concern. The EMF-RAPID Program successfully contributed to the scientific knowledge on ELF-EMF through its support of high quality, hypothesis-based research. While some questions were answered, others remain. Building upon the knowledge base developed under the EMF-RAPID Program, meritorious research on ELF-EMF through carefully designed, hypothesis-driven studies should continue for areas warranting fundamental study including leukemia. Recent research in two areas, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiac diseases associated with heart rate variability, have identified some interesting and novel findings for which further study is ongoing. Advocacy groups have opposing views concerning the health effects of ELF-EMF. Some advocacy groups want complete exoneration and others want a more serious indictment. Our conclusions are prudent and consistent with the scientific data. I am satisfied with the report and believe it provides a pragmatic, scientifically-driven basis for any further regulatory review.I am pleased to transmit this report to the U.S. Congress.Sincerely,Kenneth Olden, Ph.D.DirectorNIEHS EMF-RAPID P ROGRAM S TAFF Gary A.

Many of the scientists who wrote the articles, which are cited in this report, attended our science review symposia where their research was carefully evaluated and critiqued. Their patience with our questions and their professional attitude in evaluating their own work was extraordinary and is greatly appreciated. We are also indebted to the many scientists from outside of the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) research community who participated in our symposia and spent time and effort evaluating these data on our behalf; this provides a clear example of the dedication of scientists concerned about health issues.Special thanks are extended to the 30 scientists who attended the Working Group Meeting in June 1998. Their hard work and conscientious effort led to one of the most concise and clear reviews of the extremely low frequency (ELF) EMF literature ever developed. The thousands of man-hours extended by this group in such a short period of time provided us with a background document on ELF-EMF health risks that made this report a much simpler task. We wish especially to thank Dr. Arnold Brown for attending our public meetings on the Working Group Report; his extensive experience and insightful comments helped to make these meetings a great success. We would also like to thank Dr. Brown and Dr. Paul Gailey for reviewing this report prior to its release and Mr. Fred Dietrich for advising us on exposure issues during the preparation of this document. Finally we would like to acknowledge the U.S. Department of Energy as our partner in the EMF-RAPID Program and its EMF program officer, Dr. Imre Gyuk.T ABLE OF C ONTENTSEXECUTIVE SUMMARY (i)I NTRODUCTION (i)NIEHS C ONCLUSION (ii)B ACKGROUND (iii)Program Oversight and Management (iii)ELF-EMF Health Effects Research (iv)Information Dissemination and Public Outreach (iv)Health Risk Assessment of ELF-EMF Exposure (v)INTRODUCTION (1)Funding (2)Oversight and Program Management (3)ELF-EMF Health Effects Research (3)Information Dissemination and Public Outreach (4)Literature Review and Health Risk Assessment (6)DO ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS POSE A HEALTH RISK?

Associated with the generation, transmission, and use of electrical energy is the production of weak electric and magnetic fields (EMF). In the United States, electricity isusually delivered as alternating current that oscillates at 60 cycles per second(Hertz, Hz) putting fields generated by this electrical energy in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range.Prior to 1979 there was limited awareness of any potential adverse effects fromthe use of electricity aside from possible electrocution associated with directcontact or fire from faulty wiring. Interest in this area was catalyzed with thereport of a possible association between childhood cancer mortality and proximity of homes to power distribution lines. Over the next dozen years, the U.S.Department of Energy (DOE) and others conducted numerous studies on theeffects of ELF-EMF on biological systems that helped to clarify the risks andprovide increased understanding. Despite much study in this area, considerabledebate remained over what, if any, health effects could be attributed to ELF-EMF exposure.In 1992, the U.S. Congress authorized the Electric and Magnetic Fields Research and Public Information Dissemination Program (EMF-RAPID Program) in theEnergy Policy Act (PL 102-486, Section 2118). The Congress instructed theNational Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health and the DOE to direct and manage a program of research and analysisaimed at providing scientific evidence to clarify the potential for health risks from exposure to ELF-EMF. The EMF-RAPID Program had three basic components:1) a research program focusing on health effects research, 2) informationcompilation and public outreach and 3) a health assessment for evaluation of any potential hazards arising from exposure to ELF-EMF. The NIEHS was directedto oversee the health effects research and evaluation and the DOE was given theresponsibility for overall administration of funding and engineering researchaimed at characterizing and mitigating these fields. The Director of the NIEHSwas mandated upon completion of the Program to provide a report outlining thepossible human health risks associated with exposure to ELF-EMF. Thisdocument responds to this requirement of the law.This five-year effort was signed into law in October 1992 and provisions of thisAct were extended for one year in 1997. The Program ended December 31, 1998.The EMF-RAPID Program was funded jointly by Federal and matching privatefunds and has been an extremely successful Federal/private partnership withsubstantial financial support from the utility industry. The NIEHS received$30.1 million from this program for research, public outreach, administration and the health assessment evaluation of ELF-EMF. In addition to EMF-RAPIDProgram funds from the DOE, the NIEHS contributed $14.5 million for support of extramural and intramural research including long-term toxicity studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program.NIEHS ConclusionThe scientific evidence suggesting that ELF-EMF exposures pose any health risk is weak. The strongest evidence for health effects comes from associationsobserved in human populations with two forms of cancer: childhood leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia in occupationally exposed adults.

The NIEHS does not believe that other cancers or non-cancer health outcomes provide sufficient evidence of a risk to currently warrant concern.The interaction of humans with ELF-EMF is complicated and will undoubtedlycontinue to be an area of public concern. The EMF-RAPID Program successfully contributed to the scientific knowledge on ELF-EMF through its support of highquality, hypothesis-based research. While some questions were answered, others remain. Building upon the knowledge base developed under the EMF-RAPIDProgram, meritorious research on ELF-EMF through carefully designed,hypothesis-driven studies should continue for areas warranting fundamental study including leukemia. Recent research in two areas, neurodegenerative diseases and cardiac diseases associated with heart rate variability, have identified someinteresting and novel findings for which further study is ongoing.BackgroundProgram Oversight and ManagementThe 1992 Energy Policy Act created two committees to provide guidance anddirection to this program. The first, the Interagency Committee (IAC), wasestablished by the President of the United States and composed of representatives from the NIEHS, the DOE and seven other Federal agencies with responsibilities related to ELF-EMF. This group receives the report from the NIEHS Directorand must prepare its own report for Congress. The IAC had responsibility fordeveloping a strategic research agenda for the EMF-RAPID Program, facilitating interagency coordination of Federal research activities and communication to the public and monitoring and evaluating the Program.The second committee, the National EMF Advisory Committee (NEMFAC),consisted of representatives from public interest groups, organized labor, stategovernments and industry. This group was involved in all aspects of theEMF-RAPID Program providing advice and critical review to the DOE and theNIEHS on the design and implementation of the EMF-RAPID Program’sactivities.ELF-EMF Health Effects ResearchThe EMF-RAPID Program’s health effects research initiative relied upon accepted principles of hazard identification and risk assessment to establish priorities. All studies supported by the NIEHS and the DOE under this program were selected for their potential to provide solid, scientific data on whetherELF-EMF exposure represents a human health hazard, and if so, whether risks are increased under exposure conditions in the general population. Research efforts did not focus on epidemiological studies (i.e. those in the human population) because of time constraints and the number of ongoing, well-conducted studies. The NIEHS health effects research program focused on mechanistic, cellular and laboratory studies in the areas of neurophysiology, behavior, reproduction, development, cellular research, genetic research, cancer and melatonin. Mechanistic, cellular and laboratory studies are part of the overall criteria used to determine causality in interpreting epidemiological studies. In this situation, the most cost-effective and efficient use of the EMF-RAPID Program’s research funds was clearly for trying to clarify existing associations identified from population studies. The DOE research initiatives focused on assessment of exposure and techniques of mitigation.The EMF-RAPID Program through the combined efforts of the NIEHS and the DOE radically changed and markedly improved the quality of ELF-EMF research. This was accomplished by providing biological and engineering expertise to investigators and emphasizing hypothesis-driven, peer-reviewed research. Four regional facilities were also set-up where state-of-the-art magnetic field exposure systems were available for in-house and outside investigators to conduct mechanistic research. The EMF-RAPID Program through rigorous review and use of multi-disciplinary research teams greatly enhanced the understanding of the interaction of biological systems with ELF-EMF. Information Dissemination and Public OutreachThe EMF-RAPID Program provided the public, regulated industry and scientists with useful, targeted information that addressed the issue of uncertainty regarding ELF-EMF health effects. Two booklets, a question and answer booklet onELF-EMF and a layman’s booklet addressing ELF-EMF in the workplace, were published. A telephone information line for ELF-EMF was available where callers could request copies of ELF-EMF documents and receive answers to standard questions from operators. The NIEHS also developed a web-site for the EMF-RAPID Program where all of the Program’s documents are on-line and links are available to other useful sites on ELF-EMF. Efforts were made to include the public in EMF-RAPID Program activities through sponsorship of scholarships to meetings; holding open, scientific workshops; and setting aside a two-month period for public comment and review on ELF-EMF and the workshop reports. In addition, the NIEHS sponsored attendance of NEMFACmembers at relevant scientific meetings and at each of the public comment meetings.Health Risk Assessment of ELF-EMF ExposureIn preparation of the NIEHS Director’s Report, the NIEHS developed a process to evaluate the potential health hazards of ELF-EMF exposure that was designed to be open, transparent, objective, scholarly and timely under the mandate of the 1992 Energy Policy Act. The NIEHS used a three-tiered strategy for collection and evaluation of the scientific information on ELF-EMF that included: 1) three science review symposia for targeted ELF-EMF research areas, 2) a working group meeting and 3) a period of public review and comment. Each of the three symposia focused on a different, broad area of ELF-EMF research: mechanistic and cellular research (24-27 March 1997, Durham, NC), human population studies (12-14 January 1998, San Antonio, TX) and laboratory human and clinical work (6-9 April 1998, Phoenix, AZ). These meetings were aimed at including a broad spectrum of the research community and the public in the evaluation of ELF-EMF health hazards, identifying key research findings and providing opinion on the quality of this research. Discussion reports from small discussion groups held for specific topics were prepared for each meeting.Following the symposia, a working group meeting (16-24 June 1998, Brooklyn Park, MN) was held where a scientific panel reviewed historical and novel evidence on ELF-EMF and determined the strength of the evidence for human health and biological effects. Stakeholders and the public attended this meeting and were given the opportunity to comment during the process. The Working Group conducted a formal, comprehensive review of the literature for research areas identified from the symposia as being important to the assessment ofELF-EMF-related biological or health effects. Separate draft documents covering areas of animal carcinogenicity, animal non-cancer findings, physiological effects, cellular effects, theories and human population studies (epidemiology studies) in children and adults for both occupational and residential ELF-EMF exposures were rewritten into a single book. The Working Group characterized the strength of the evidence for a causative link between ELF-EMF exposure and disease in each category of research using the criteria developed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).The IARC criteria fall into four basic categories: sufficient, limited, inadequate and evidence suggesting the lack of an effect. After critical review and discussion, members of the Working Group were asked to determine the categorization for each research area; the range of responses reflected the scientific uncertainty in each area. A majority of the Working Group members concluded that childhood leukemia and adult chronic lymphocytic leukemia from occupational exposure were areas of concern. For other cancers and for non-cancer health endpoints, the Working Group categorized the experimental data asproviding much weaker evidence or no support for effects from exposure to ELF-EMF.Following the Working Group Meeting, the NIEHS established a formal review period for solicitation of comments on the symposia and Working Group reports. The NIEHS hosted four public meetings (14-15 September 1998, Tucson, AZ;28 September, Washington, DC; 1 October 1998, San Francisco, CA; and5 October 1998, Chicago, IL) where individuals and groups could voice their opinions; the meetings were recorded and transcripts prepared. In addition, the NIEHS received 178 written comments that were also reviewed in preparation of this report. The remarks that NIEHS received covered many areas related to ELF-EMF and provided insight about areas of concern on behalf of the public, researchers, regulatory agencies and industry.I NTRODUCTIONElectricity is used to the benefit of people all over the world. Wherever electricity is generated, transmitted or used, electric fields and magnetic fields are created. These fields are a direct consequence of the presence and/or motion of electric charges. It is impossible to generate and use electrical energy without creating these fields; hence they are an inevitable consequence of our reliance on this form of energy. Electrical energy is generally supplied as alternating current where the electricity flows in one direction and then in the other to complete a cycle. The number of cycles completed in a fixed period of time (such as a second) is known as the frequency and is generally measured in units of Hertz (Hz), which are cycles per second. In the United States, electricity is usually delivered as 60 Hz alternating current; 50 to 60 Hz cycles are generally referred to as the power-line frequency of alternating current electricity. Just as alternating current electricity has a frequency, so do the associated electric and magnetic fields (EMF). Thus, 60 Hz alternating current electricity will generate a 60 Hz electric field and a60 Hz magnetic field. EMF with cycle frequencies of greater than 3 Hz and less that 3000 Hz is generally referred to as extremely low frequency (ELF) EMF. In addition to magnetic fields associated with electricity, the earth also has a static magnetic field (frequency of 0 Hz) that varies by location from approximately 30 to 50 µT.Electricity has been used, to great advantage, for 100 years and with this widespread use, there has been limited awareness of any potential adverse health effects other than effects caused by direct contact such as electrocution or by faulty wiring such as fire. Research into potential health effects caused by the ELF-EMF resulting from indirect exposure to electrical energy has been underway for several decades. The catalyst that sparked increased study in this area of research was the 1979 report by Wertheimer and Leeper (1) that children living near power lines had an increased risk for developing cancer. Since that initial finding, there have been numerous studies of human populations, animals and isolated cells aimed at clarification of the observations of Wertheimer and Leeper and others. Despite this multitude of research, considerable debate remains over what, if any, health effects can be attributed to ELF-EMF exposure. In 1992, under the Energy Policy Act (PL 102-486, Section 2118), the U.S. Congress instructed the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences(NIEHS), National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to direct and manage a program of research and analysis aimed at providing scientific evidence to clarify the potential for health risks from exposure toELF-EMF. This resulted in formation of the EMF Research and Public Information Dissemination Program (EMF-RAPID Program). The EMF-RAPID Program had three basic components: 1) a research program focusing on health effects research primarily through mechanistic studies of ELF-EMF and engineering research targeting measurement, characterization and management of ELF-EMF; 2) information compilation and dissemination through brochures, public outreach and an ELF-EMF information line for communicating with the public; and 3) a health assessment including an analysis of the research data aimed at summarizing the strength of the evidence for evaluation of any hazard possibly arising from exposure to ELF-EMF. The NIEHS was directed to oversee the health effects research and evaluation and the DOE was given responsibility for engineering research aimed at characterizing and mitigating these fields. Under the Energy Policy Act, the Director of the NIEHS is mandated upon completion of the EMF-RAPID Program to provide a report outlining the possible human health risks associated with exposure to ELF-EMF. This document responds to this requirement of the law.FundingThe EMF-RAPID Program was funded jointly by Federal and matching private funds; through fiscal year 1998, authorized funding for this program was approximately $46 million. Administration of funding for the EMF-RAPID Program was the responsibility of the DOE with funds for NIEHS-sponsored program activities transferred from the DOE to the NIEHS. The EMF-RAPID Program has been an extremely successful Federal/private partnership with substantial financial support from the utility industry. The NIEHS received $30.1 million from this program for research, public outreach, administration and the health assessment evaluation of ELF-EMF. Of the funds received, the NIEHS spent the majority (89%) for research through grants and contracts. The remainder was used for public outreach/administration (2%) and the health risk evaluation (9%). In addition to EMF-RAPID Program funds from the DOE, the NIEHS contributed $14.5 million for support of extramural grants and contracts and intramural research as well as long-term toxicity studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program.。

神经递质专用的电极可以打磨成微小斜面,以提高检测的精度。
此外,还可以对电极表面添加化学物质以提高选择性。
一个成功电化学检测神经递质的电极需要经过多次测试和修饰。
首先进行的是电极表面的表征,以确定电极的峰电位和氧化还原峰电位。
然后根据实验需要选择最佳扫描速度和电解质。
最后,可以对电极进行化学修饰,以增加电极与目标分子之间的亲和力。
需要注意的是,电化学检测神经递质并不是一项便宜的技术,需要专门的电极和设备。
但是,这种技术具有高灵敏度、良好的选择性和反应速度,比其他测量方法更为优越。
通过电化学检测,我们可以更好地理解神经递质的动态变化过程,从而为神经系统相关疾病的治疗提供新的思路。
总之,电化学检测神经递质是神经科学领域中非常重要的技术。
虽然这种技术需要一定的投入和学习,但其高灵敏度和优越的选择性使得其在神经递质研究及治疗方面有着广泛的应用前景。

ASmall Ways You Can Donate Money To CharityThere are plenty of innovative ways that you can help people in need, even when money is tight. Here are just a few unique ways to give.Food Angel, Hong KongFood insecurity has become a global problem for families. In Hong Kong, the people behind the Food Angel program collect 45 tonnes of edible surplus food each week that grocery stores, restaurants and individuals would otherwise dispose of. That includes fresh fruits and vegetables and other perishables (易腐烂的食物) that aren’t normally accepted in food-donation boxes.The impact is significant: Volunteers make and serve around 20,000 meals and distribute more than 11,000 other meals and food packs every day.Frigos Solidaires, FranceImagine if those in need could help themselves to food with anonymity (匿名) and dignity. Frigos Solidaires, or Solidarity Fridges, was started with that aim by Dounia Mebtoul, a young restaurateur in Paris. Now, 130 fridges installed in front of places such as shops and schools offer free food to the hungry across France.Stuff A Bus, CanadaIn Edmonton, the transit service parks vehicles in front of supermarkets for its annual “Stuff a Bus” campaign each November. Volunteers collect food and cash donations from shoppers to fill buses bound for food banks. Since its start in 1995, the campaign has collected 553,000 kilograms of food and roughly half a million dollars.Rice Bucket Challenge, IndiaHeard of the Ice Bucket Challenge? You take a video of yourself dumping a bucket of ice water over your head, then nominate (指定) three more people to do the same. In some versions, the participant donates $100 if they don’t complete the challenge.“I thought it was an amazing way to raise awareness of ALS and raise funds,” recall s Manju Kalanidhi, a journalist in Hyderabad, India. But it didn’t make sense in her country, where water is too precious to waste, even for a good cause. Then in 2014, it hit her: Why not make it a Rice Bucket Challenge to fight hunger? “I gave a bucket o f rice to someone in need and clicked a photo. I shared it on Facebook and said, ‘This is a Rice Bucket Challenge.Why don’t you do it, too?’” Participants donate a bucket of rice to an individual or family —no, it’s not dumped — take a photo and post it on social media with a message encouraging others to do the same.1.

The rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham-operation group, model group, and electroacupuncture group. In the electroacupuncture group, the rats were treated by electroacupuncture for 28 days. After the treatment, the nerve regeneration was observed through HE staining. Immunofluorescence was used to analyze the expression changes of BDNF in the nerve tissue and spinal cord. ELISA was used to observe the changes of expression of serum BDNF. Results The amount of axon regeneration in the electroacupuncture group was obviously more than that in the model group, and the outline of the tissue more clear. Electroacupuncture could promote the expression of BDNF in the nerve, spinal cord and serum of SNI of rats compared with model group (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture can promote the repairment and regeneration of SNI in rats by upregulating the expression of BDNF. Key words: electroacupuncture; sciatic nerve; brain derived neurotrophic factor; axon; rats周围神经损伤(PNI)属中医学“伤筋” “痿证” 范畴。

CFD modelling of bubble–particle attachments in flotation cells
CFD modelling of bubble–particle attachments in flotation cellsP.T.L.Koh *,M.P.SchwarzCSIRO Division of Minerals,Bayview Avenue,Box 312,Clayton South,Victoria 3169,AustraliaReceived 12July 2005;accepted 6September 2005Available online 19October 2005AbstractIn recent years,computational fluid dynamic (CFD)modelling of mechanically stirred flotation cells has been used to study the com-plexity of the flow within the cells.In CFD modelling,the flotation cell is discretized into individual finite volumes where local values of flow properties are calculated.The flotation effect is studied as three sub-processes including collision,attachment and detachment.In the present work,these sub-processes are modelled in a laboratory flotation cell.The flotation kinetics involving a population balance for particles in a semi-batch process has been developed.From turbulent collision models,the local rates of bubble–particle encounters have been estimated from the local turbulent velocities.The probabilities of collision,adhesion and stabilization have been calculated at each location in the flotation cell.The net rate of attach-ment,after accounting for detachments,has been used in the kinetic model involving transient CFD simulations with removal of bubble–particle aggregates to the froth layer.Comparison of the predicted fraction of particles remaining in the cell and the fraction of free particles to the total number of particles remaining in the cell indicates that the particle recovery rate to the pulp–froth interface is much slower than the net attachment rates.For the case studied,the results indicate that the bubbles are loaded with particles quite quickly,and that the bubble surface area flux is the limiting factor in the recovery rate at the froth interface.This explains why the relationship between flotation rate and bubble surface area flux is generally used as a criterion for designing flotation cells.The predicted flotation rate constants also indicate that fine and large particles do not float as well as intermediate sized particles of 120–240l m range.This is consistent with the flotation recovery generally observed in flotation practice.The magnitude of the flotation rate constants obtained by CFD modelling indicates that transport rates of the bubble–particle aggregates to the froth layer contribute quite significantly to the overall flotation rate and this is likely to be the case especially in plant-scale equipment.Ó2005Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.Keywords:Flotation bubbles;Flotation kinetics;Flotation machines;Modelling1.IntroductionResearchers have recently started to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD)for modelling mechanically stirred flotation cells to study the complexity of three-phase (air–water–solids)flows within the cells (Koh and Schwarz,2003).Flotation cells are conventionally designed using empirically derived relations.In CFD modelling,the flota-tion cell is discretized into individual finite volumes wherelocal values of flow properties are calculated.The detailed understanding of flow gained using this approach allows modification to existing equipment and operation to im-prove flotation performance.The flotation effect is modelled as three sub-processes involving collision,attachment and detachment.A turbu-lent collision model is used to estimate the rate of bub-ble–particle encounters,employing the local turbulent velocity,and the size and number concentrations of bub-bles and particles in different parts of the cell.The proba-bilities of collision,adhesion and stabilization are also calculated such that attachment rates can now be esti-mated.The detachment rates are also estimated from the0892-6875/$-see front matter Ó2005Elsevier

19(2006)619–626fluid turbulence.The net rate of attachment,after account-ing for detachments,is used in the combined CFD kinetic model involving transient population-balance simulations with removal of bubble–particle aggregates to the froth layer.In this paper,the local turbulent energy dissipation rates used in the kinetic model are obtained by CFD modelling of the cell.This is a significant improvement over other models where assumptions based on an average dissipation rate or an assumed Gaussian distribution for turbulent velocities for the whole cell(e.g.Bloom and Heindel, 2003)have been used.CFD modelling provides a realistic approach toflotation models without the additional assumptions on turbulent energy dissipation rates.Flotation in a cylindrical tankfitted with a Rushton turbine impeller is studied in this paper since commercial flotation equipment are mostly of this typefitted with ro-tor–stator system.For comparison,a laboratoryflotation cell designed by CSIRO Minerals is also modelled.2.Flotation kineticsFlotation is generally modelled as afirst-order rate pro-cess with respect to the number of particles and number of bubbles in the attachment step,and a detachment process with respect to the number of bubble–particle aggregates. The kinetic equation for the bubble–particle encounters is described by the rate of removal of the number of particles in a given volume as follows:d N p1d t¼Àk1N p1N bþk2N að1Þwhere N p1is the number concentration(mÀ3)of free parti-cles,N b is the number concentration of bubbles available for attachment,N a is the number concentration of bub-ble–particle aggregates,k1is the particle–bubble attach-ment rate constant,and k2is the particle–bubble detachment rate constant.In a given volume within theflo-tation cell,the total number of particles consists of free particles(N p1)and particles that are attached to bubbles (N p2),both as functions of timeN pT¼N p1þN p2ð2Þwith N pTo as the initial particle concentration.In general, bubbles will have any number of particles attached as they move up toward the froth layer,with the number of parti-cles per bubble varying with time and position,as well as from bubble to bubble.To simplify the situation,it is as-sumed in this paper that certain bubbles are fully loaded with particles while the remaining bubbles are clean.The number of bubble–particle aggregates(N a)is then related to the total number of bubbles(N bT)by an average loading parameter(b)as follows:N a¼b N bTð3ÞThe average loading parameter(b)in a given volume varies with time and position in the cell.The number of bubbles that are available for attachment(N b)is also related to the total number of bubbles as follows:N b¼ð1ÀbÞN bTð4ÞSo,the attachment–detachment kinetics in Eq.(1)can be re-written as follows:d N p1d t¼Àk1N p1N bTð1ÀbÞþk2N bT bð5ÞAn interpretation of the new equation is that the kinetics is now based on the free surface area available for particle attachment with a bubble loading parameter b such that b=0for clean bubbles and b=1for fully loaded bubbles. The number of particles that can be attached to a single bubble is given by S which is the ratio of the total surface area of the bubble to the particle projected area as follows:S¼4d bd p2ð6Þwhere d p is the particle diameter and d b is the bubble diam-eter.Realistically,it is not possible for the particles to cov-er the whole bubble surface due to packing,shape and other factors.As afirst approximation,it is assumed that the attached particles occupy about half of the total bubble surfaces when the bubbles are fully loaded.The maximum number of particles per bubble ratio(S max)is then de-scribed byS max¼0:5S¼2d bd p2¼N p2b N bTð7ÞBy rearranging the above equation,the bubble loading parameter b can be obtained fromb¼N p2S max N bTð8ÞThe present method is a significant improvement over pre-vious models in modelling the number of particles that can be attached to a bubble.Thefirst model proposed by Bloom and Heindel(1997)had assumed that only bubbles which do not already have a particle attached to them are capable of picking up a particle,and that the average num-ber of particles on a bubble was equal to1.0.This assump-tion was replaced in their latest model(Bloom and Heindel, 2003)by an average loading based on total numbers of par-ticles and bubbles in theflotation cell.In the kinetic equation,the particle–bubble attachment rate constant k1(m3/s)is defined byk1¼Z1P c P a P sð9Þand the particle–bubble detachment rate constant k2(1/s)is defined byk2¼Z2P d¼Z2ð1ÀP sÞð10Þwhere P c,P a and P s are the probabilities of particle–bubble collision,adhesion and stabilisation against external forces. P d is the probability a bubble–particle aggregate will be-come unstable and is assumed to be equal to(1ÀP s).P s620P.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz/Minerals Engineering19(2006)619–626is included in both the particle–bubble attachment rate constant k1and in the detachment rate constant k2because the processes involve different turbulent eddies acting inde-pendently of each other.The eddy that facilitates attach-ment can also cause detachment of the aggregate during the attachment process.Z1is related to the particle–bubble collision frequency dependent on the size of the particles and bubbles,and hydrodynamics of theflotation pulp.Z2 is the detachment frequency of particles from bubbles.Based on work of Abrahamson(1975),Schubert and Bischofberger(1979)applied the following equation for the number of particle–bubble collisions per unit time and volume inflotation cells.The equation is valid only in turbulentflows where inertial effects are the primary cause of collisionsZ1¼5:0d pþd b22U2pþU2b1=2ð11Þwhere U p is the turbulent(rms)fluctuating velocity of the particle relative to thefluid,and U b is the turbulent(rms)fluctuating velocity of the bubble relative to thefluid.In typicalflotation processes,these velocities(U i=U p or U b)are a function of the local turbulent energy dissipation rate as follows(Leipe and Mo¨ckel,1976):U i¼0:4e4=9d7=9im1=3q iÀq fqf2=3ð12Þwhere e is the turbulent energy dissipation rate per unit mass,m is the kinematic viscosity,q f is thefluid density, and q i is the density of the particle(p)or bubble(b).The condition for use of the above model with independent bubble or particle velocities is that the diameter of the par-ticle or bubble must be greater than the critical diameter, d crit in the following equation:d2 i >d2crit¼15l f U2fqieð13Þwhere l f is thefluid viscosity and U f is the meanfluid veloc-ity deviation.In applying the case to bubbles,the critical diameter is based on the virtual mass which is estimated by q i=0.5q f using thefluid density.The criterion is used to determine the applicability in terms of particle and bub-ble diameters in various turbulent regimes within theflota-tion cell.In regions where velocities for the particle and bubbles are not independent,the collision equation by Saffman and Turner(1956)is applicable forfine particles and bub-bles confined within eddies in low turbulent dissipation re-gions as follows:Z1¼ffiffiffiffiffiffi8p15rd pþd b23em1=2ð14ÞThe bubble–particle detachment frequency Z2is depen-dent on the relative velocity between the particle–bubble aggregate and the surroundingfluid,and is estimated by Z2¼ffiffiffiffiffiffiC1pe1=3ðd pþd bÞ2=3ð15Þwhere C1is an empirical constant with a value of2as sug-gested by Bloom and Heindel(2003).The collision efficiency P c accounts for the tendency of particles to follow thefluid streamlines around the bubble and avoid actual contact,which is especially true for parti-cles that are much smaller than the bubble.The equation for the collision probability proposed by Yoon and Luttrell (1989)for intermediate bubble Reynolds number in the range of0.2<Re b<100is applied:P c¼1:5þ415Re0:72bd2pd2bð16Þwhere the bubble Reynolds number based on Re b=d b U b/m is used.The equation is valid for particles smaller than 100l m and bubbles smaller than1mm with immobile sur-faces due to adsorbed surfactants.The probability of adhesion P a is determined by the slid-ing time of the particles on bubble surfaces and the induc-tion time for rupture of the disjoiningfilm between the particle and bubble.If the sliding time is longer than the induction time,adhesion is likely.Yoon and Luttrell (1989)derived an expression for the adhesion probability dependent on the particle and bubble sizes,the bubble Rey-nolds number and the induction time as follows:P a¼sin22arctan expÀð45þ8Re0:72bÞU b t ind15d bðd b=d pþ1Þ!ð17Þwhere t ind is the induction time and U b is the bubble rela-tive velocity.The induction time is a function of the parti-cle size and contact angle which can be determined by experiment and correlated in the formt ind¼Ad Bpð18Þwhere parameters A and B are independent of particle size. From measurements with particles and bubbles of various sizes in solutions of varying ionic strength,Dai et al.(1999) found that parameter B is constant with a value of0.6,and parameter A is inversely proportional to the particle con-tact angle h.Based on thesefindings,the following equa-tion was constructed by the present authors and applied in the CFD model:t ind¼75hd0:6pð19Þwhere t ind is given in s,h in degrees and d p in m.The prob-ability of adhesion can now be calculated for given values of bubble size,particle size and contact angle.The probability of stability P s accounts for the stabiliza-tion or destabilization of the bubble–particle aggregate. Schulze(1993)proposed a form as follows:P s¼1Àexp1À1BoÃð20ÞP.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz/Minerals Engineering19(2006)619–626621where the modified Bond number(Bo*)is defined as the ra-tio of detachment to attachment forces,and is given by where g is the acceleration due to gravity,r is the surface tension,and D q p=(q pÀq f).In the derivation by Schulze, the acceleration(force)that determines the detachment of a particle from the bubble is dependent on the intensity of turbulence in theflow.It is assumed that turbulent vortices of dimensions corresponding to those of the bubble–parti-cle aggregate cause the detachment.From their validation experiments,Bloom and Heindel(2003)suggested a modi-fied form as follows:P s¼1Àexp A s1À1 BoÃ!ð22Þwhere A s is an empirical constant with a value of0.5.3.Model descriptionMulti-phaseflow equations for the conservation of mass,momentum and turbulence quantities have been solved using an Eulerian–Eulerian approach in which the pulp(liquid–solid)and the gas phases are treated as inter-penetrating continua.Two mesh blocks have been gener-ated for modelling the rotating impeller and the stationary stator within the tank.Transport equations have been solved using the multiple frames of reference tech-nique in the CFX-4.4(2001)computer code.Source terms include buoyancy for the gas phase.The froth layer is not included in the computational domain;only the pulp zone is simulated.At the froth–pulp interface,gas bubbles with attached particles are transferred from the pulp zone to the froth layer at the rate bubbles arrive at the interface.For theflotation kinetics,the transfer of particles between the pulp and bubbles is achieved by applying source/sink terms in the population-balance equation in Eq.(1).The tran-sient simulation uses adjustable/variable time steps such that the mass error is less than0.1%for each time step.A stirred tank cell used inflotation experiments has been simulated.Aflat-bottomed cylindrical tank of diameter T=0.195m wasfitted with a standard Rushton turbine with a diameter D=T/3stirring at840rpm(Hui and Ahmed,1999).The tank includes four baffles of width T/ 10.An average bubble diameter of1mm,and monosized particles of density2600kg/m3in a pulp of32%by weight have been applied in the model.This is equivalent to a par-ticle volume fraction of0.153.For comparison,a laboratoryflotation cell designed by CSIRO Minerals has also been modelled.The CSIROflo-tation cell,with a volume of3.78l,has an eight-bladed72-mm diameter impeller driven from below and enclosed in a conical shroud similar to a Denver-type mechanism.Air isinjected at a rate of8l/min through a nozzle located within the stator and directed downwards at the impeller which isstirring at1200rpm.4.Results and discussionCFD predictions indicate a complexflowfield within the flotation cell and much of the action occurs in the impeller region.Theflow around the cell is important as it deter-mines the paths taken by the bubble–particle aggregates to-wards the froth layer.Profiles of theflowfield obtained include turbulent energy dissipation,volumetric fraction of air phase and particle–bubble collision rate.The cumulative distribution of the turbulent energy dis-sipation rates in the stirred cell have been reported(Koh et al.,2000)from which two regions in theflotation cell are represented:the impeller region having higher values of the turbulent energy dissipation rate and the remainder of the cell having lower dissipation values.In the popula-tion balance,the bubble number concentration is obtained by dividing the local gas holdup by the bubble volume.The probabilities of collision,adhesion and stabilization have been calculated using values of turbulent energy dissi-pation rates found in theflotation cell.Two contact angles have been used in the calculation for comparison.The attachment rate,(Z1P c P a P s N bT)is plotted as a function of particle diameter in Fig.1.This rate represents the initial rate of contact between particles and clean bubbles.Boüd2pD qpgþ1:9qpe2=3d p2þd b2À1=3!þ1:5d p4rd bÀd b q f gsin2pÀh2ÀÁ6r sin pÀh2ÀÁsin

angles.622P.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz/Minerals Engineering19(2006)619–626To obtain flotation rates,the mass transfer of particles between the pulp and the bubbles in the flotation cell has been simulated for a contact angle 38°.The total number of particles remaining in the batch cell is determined by summing particles in all the finite volumes.The results for the case of 60l m particles are shown in Fig.2where the predicted fractions of free,attached and floated parti-cles are plotted as a function of time.These results may be interpreted as produced by a ‘‘reaction in series’’mech-anism.The sum of free and attached particles remaining in the cell is plotted against time in Fig.3(semi-log)for var-ious particle sizes.This plot is similar to results usually ob-tained from flotation tests.A more interesting plot is the ratio of free particles to the total number of particles remaining in the cell (free and attached)shown in Fig.4.A global ‘‘equilibrium’’between free and attached particles is observed in some of the cases in Fig.4due to attachmentand detachment processes occurring in different parts of the cell.Assuming a first-order rate process,flotation rate constants can be obtained from the half times t 0.5using the following equation:k ¼ln 2:0t 0:5ð23ÞThe predicted rate constants are plotted as a function of particle diameters in Fig.5showing that fine and large par-ticles do not float as well as intermediate sized particles of 120–240l m.This trend is generally observed with flotation recovery (Trahar,1981).Experimental data reported by Pyke et al.(2003),Duan et al.(2003)and Ahmed and Jameson (1985)are also consistent with this observation.An initial comparison against experimental rate constant for quartz at 600rpm by Ahmed and Jameson in Fig.5Fig.2.CFD

quartz by Ahmed and Jameson.P.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz /Minerals Engineering 19(2006)619–626623shows that the CFD predicted values are of the same order of magnitude.Detailed comparison against experiment is planned in further work.In practice,the rate constants are usually correlated with the bubble surface areaflux S b which can be obtained fromS b¼6J gd bð24Þwhere J g is the superficial gas velocity.Plant data indicate that S b is dependent on the impeller speed and airflow rate. Gorain et al.(1999)found that theflotation rate constant k has a strong correlation with S b as follows:k¼P kÁS bÁR fð25Þwhere P k is theflotation probability representing thefloat-ability of the ore,and R f is the froth recovery factor.The flotation probability for various particle sizes have been calculated from CFD predicted k values,with R f=1.0 and J g=0.0106m/s(or S b of63.4sÀ1)in the cell.The cal-culated values of P k of the order of10À4are shown in Ta-ble1.P k is calculated using Eq.(25)based on the rate constant k predicted by CFD simulation.The relationship between P k and P c P a P s is not obvious since they are de-fined differently.The probabilities P c P a P s are involved dur-ing a single particle–bubble encounter,while P k is obtained from the rate of decrease of the total number of particles in theflotation cell as a result of multiple encounters over time.The attachment rates from previous simulations in a laboratoryflotation cell designed by CSIRO Minerals (Koh and Schwarz,2003)are for bubble–particle attach-ments only,without the recovery of particles through the froth interface.In the previous work,the attached particles were removed from the pulp phase as soon as a bubble–particle aggregate was formed.The attachment rate con-stant of the order of300sÀ1for60l m particles was ob-tained and is much larger in comparison to theflotation rate of0.02sÀ1(or1.13minÀ1)in Table1as obtained in the present work which includes transport to the froth interface.In Fig.2,the fraction of free particles to the total num-ber of particles remaining in the cell decreases quite rapidly initially with the rate of decrease abating at longer times. The reason for slower decrease in free particles at longer times is because the removal of attached particles from the pulp is limiting the process.The distribution of bubble loading in the cell is plotted in Fig.6showing that the bub-bles are almost fully loaded in the top part of the cell with b values closer to1.0.The initial attachment rate is found to be very fast in comparison to the recovery rates of attached particles from the froth interface.Since the bubbles are loaded with particles quite quickly,the bubble surface area flux is the limiting factor in the recovery rate from the froth interface.This explains why the relationship in Eq.(25)be-tweenflotation rate and bubble surface areaflux is gener-ally observed in batch or plant-scale cells and why this relationship has been used as a criterion for designingflo-tation cells.The recovery rate is slower than the net attachment rate because of transport times for bubble–particle aggregates to move through the pulp to the froth interface.The pre-dicted recovery rates are still quite large in comparison with the observed rates in the plant because the overall rates include transport within the froth layer.For example, measuredflotation rates of0.1–0.25minÀ1have been re-ported by Gorain et al.(1998)in3m3commercial cells. The transport times are quite significant in plant-scaleflo-tation cells as the bubble–particle aggregates have to move over large distances.This is one reason whyflotation rates are much faster in laboratory batch cells where the bubble–particle aggregates have shorter distances to reach the froth layer.The distribution of attachment rates in the stirred cell is plotted in Fig.7where negative values represent detach-ment.The plot shows that detachment rates are large near the impeller tip.The maximum attachment rates are not far from the impeller.The two zones are quite close.The netTable1CFD predictedflotation rate constant andflotation probability for various particle diametersd p(l m)t0.5(s)k(sÀ1)k(minÀ1)P k7.5205.90.00340.202 5.3·10À5 15113.00.00610.3689.7·10À5 3061.30.01130.678 1.8·10À4 6036.80.0188 1.130 3.0·10À4 12019.90.0348 2.090 5.5·10À4 24011.70.0592 3.5559.3·10À4 48016.70.0416 2.496 6.6·10À4Fig.6.CFD prediction of the bubble loading parameter b afterflotation time of320s for particles of60l m diameter in the stirred cell.624P.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz/Minerals Engineering19(2006)619–626effects of the attachment rates are shown in the predicted distribution of free particles remaining in the cell plotted in Fig.8,and in the distribution of attached particles plot-ted in Fig.9.For comparison,the distribution of net attachment rates in the CSIRO Denver cell is shown in Fig.10.The plot shows that detachment rates (with negative values)are also large near the impeller tip,but the maximum attachment rates are outside the impeller zone.The two zones are sep-arated by the stator shroud.The negative regions are inev-itable because of the need to use a high impeller speed to generate fine bubbles for the necessary bubble surface area flux to operate.Flotation cell design should ideally mini-mize the negative regions while maximizing the attachment rates available in the cell.5.ConclusionsCFD modelling of a batch flotation cell has been per-formed.Bubble–particle collision rates,detachment rates and the probabilities of collision,adhesion and stabiliza-tion have been calculated in different parts of the -parison of the predicted fraction of particles remaining in the cell and the fraction of free particles to the totalnumberFig.7.CFD predicted net attachment rates (108m À3s À1)after flotation time of 320s for particles of 60l m diameter in the stirred cell.Negative values indicate netdetachment.Fig.8.CFD predicted volume fraction of free particles after flotation time of 320s for particles of 60l mdiameter.Fig.9.CFD predicted volume fraction of attached particles after flotation time of 320s for particles of 60l m diameter in the stirredcell.Fig.10.CFD predicted net attachment rates (108m À3s À1)after flotation time of 228s for particles of 60l m diameter in the CSIRO Denver cell.P.T.L.Koh,M.P.Schwarz /Minerals Engineering 19(2006)619–626625。
