Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The biodegradability of flotation reagents has very important impact on mine environment. The aerobic biodegradation of n-amyl xanthate as the sole substrate was studied, and the biodegradation kinetics process is also illustrated. The result indicated that: the loss of n-amyl xanthate was negligible, and the abiotic degradation was relatively minor. The aerobic biodegradation of n-amyl xanthate as the sole substrate follows the zero order enzyme reaction kinetics equation. The biodegradation reactions fit the Monod model, and the Ks and qmax were 47.51, 0.05295, respectively.
