  • Publication number: 20210276024
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a combined collector for zinc oxide ore flotation, including the following components in percentage by mass: 60-95 wt % of a fatty acid, 0-10 wt % of a hydroxamic acid and 5-35 wt % of a mercaptobenzothiazole. In the flotation process of zinc oxide ore, due to the use of the combined collector of the present disclosure, it is not required to deslime. On the premise of ensuring the zinc grade in the zinc concentrate, the flotation recovery rate of the zinc concentrate is improved and the zinc grade of mineral processing tailings is reduced by using the combined collector, thereby reducing the loss of zinc metal.

  • Publication number: 20100162964
    Abstract: A process for polycross breeding a Manila clam pedigree, includes: providing present Manila clam pedigrees of different shell color types as parents; ecologically maturing the parents; reciprocally hybridizing the parents by every two of different shell color types to obtain offsprings thereof; nurturing the offsprings until gonads thereof mature synchronously; and hybridizing the matured offsprings with each other to obtain at least a four-way cross pedigree accumulating all valuable genes of the parents.

  • Publication number: 20100162963
    Abstract: A process for breeding a Manila clam pedigree, includes: directively breeding present Manila clam pedigrees having different shell shapes to obtain a shell shape pedigree (A) having best phenotypic character; directively breeding the shell shape pedigrees (A) from different geographical populations to obtain a geographical population pedigree (B) having best phenotypic character; directively breeding the geographical population pedigrees (B) having different shell colors to obtain a growth shell color pedigree (C) of fastest growth and a resistance shell color pedigrees (E) of highest stress resistance; hybridizing the growth shell color pedigree (C) and the resistance shell color pedigree (E) to obtain a first hybridied pedigree (F1) of faster growth and higher stress resistance than the present Manila clam pedigrees; and directively breeding the first hybridied pedigree (F1) to obtain a second hybridied pedigree (F2) maintaining faster growth and higher stress resistance than the present Manila clam pedigre

  • Patent number: 7320293
    Abstract: The invention refers to a method for breeding of a variety of Pacific abalone with orange shell. A new strain with uniform shell color of Pacific abalone is established by single mating or mass mating. The detailed procedures are as follows. The mature individuals with orange shell color are selected as breeders, and conditioned in the seawater. Macroalgae are fed and gentle aeration is provided daily. The gonad of breeders will eventually reach full ripeness; Artificial induction to spawn is conducted by combined desiccation, thermal shock and exposure to UV-irradiated seawater; The released gametes were fertilized by single mating or mass mating; A routine procedure is used for fertilized eggs incubation, larval and spat rearing. A new Pacific abalone strain of uniformly orange shell color is produced. In the invention, the new strain is produced by shell color mutant type abalone from natural populations or artificially cultivated stocks. No foreign genes are introduced.
