Abstract: A method, a system, a Base Station (BS) and a mobile terminal device for collaborative communication are disclosed, so as to multiplex open-loop and closed-loop users and improve a utilization rate of system frequency spectrum. The method includes receiving CSI sent by a user, in which the CSI is CSI of an LOS signal of the user that is obtained by eliminating CSI of a multi-path signal. The method then obtains CSI of a closed-loop user having a channel that is orthogonal to a channel of the user, and performs pre-coding calculations by using the CSI of the LOS signal of the user and the CSI of the closed-loop user. Communication data is then sent to the user by using the result of the pre-coding calculation.

Abstract: A process for separating Co from Ni in an aqueous solution comprises subjecting the solution to extraction and using kinetic differences between Ni and Co in the extraction for achieving at least a partial separation of Co from Ni. This is effected by controlling the duration of the extraction so that a major portion of Co and a minor portion of Ni is extracted from the solution to produce a loaded extractant, enriched in Co and depleted in Ni compared to the feed solution, and a Co-depleted raffinate containing Ni. In a further embodiment, the invention utilizes kinetic differences between Ni and Co during striping for effecting separation of Ni and Co. The loaded extractant can be subjected to a bulk stripping or a selective stripping operation to obtain Co and Ni solutions from which Ni and Co can be recovered. The process may be incorporated in a hydrometallurgical process for the extraction of Ni and/or Co from an ore or concentrate containing Ni and Co.
