    Testing of 17-Different Leaching Agents for the Recovery of Zinc From a Carbonate-Type Pb-Zn Ore Flotation Tailing
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-07) Hussaini, Shokrullah; Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Ichlas, Zela Tanlega; Kaya, Muammer
    The recovery of zinc from a flotation tailing using 17-different leaching agents, including inorganic and organic acids, alkaline solutions and chelating agents, was investigated. The effects of the lixiviant type, acid concentration, leaching temperature, leaching time, and solid-to-liquid ratio on the metals dissolution were studied. The use of sulfuric acid resulted in 91% of zinc extraction with a high selectivity against lead. The major impurities of lead, iron, calcium and arsenic precipitated during the leaching process as a segnisite, beudantite, gypsum, and goethite in this lixiviant. It was seen that the addition of oxidants in sulfuric acid solution slightly increased zinc dissolution. The citric acid dissolved 90.1% of zinc along with 9.1% lead. 90% of zinc dissolution was achieved by using malic acid, and high selectivity between zinc and lead dissolutions was also observed. The citric and malic acid leach residues contained a substantial amount of segnitite, beudantite, and quartz as the major phases. In term of zinc and lead dissolution selectivity, the best inorganic agents were determined in the following order: sulfuric acid > hydrochloric acid > perchloric acid > nitric acid. With organic agents, the best zinc and lead selectivity was achieved in the following order: sulfosalicylic acid > citric acid > malic acid > formic acid > tartaric acid > ascorbic acid. The best simultaneous zinc and lead dissolutions were achieved using sodium hydroxide agent. Using 5 M sodium hydroxide at 80 degrees C and 1/10 solid-to-liquid ratio for 180 min. leaching time, 81.4% of zinc and 47.4% of lead were dissolved while leaving a considerable amount of iron in the residue. When the ammonium chloride was used as a lixiviant, the silver and zinc were taken into the leach solution. 61.3% of zinc dissolution was obtained by using 50% ammonia as lixiviant, whereas no iron and lead dissolutions were observed. Using 0.37 M EDTA at 80 degrees C, 1/10 solid-to-liquid ratio for 180 min. leaching time, more than 90% of zinc dissolved along with a substantial amount of iron, arsenic and lead co-dissolutions. 47.4% of zinc dissolution was obtained at 80 degrees C and 1/10 solid-to-liquid ratio for 180 min. leaching time when sodium citrate was used as lixiviant, whereas less than 20% of zinc dissolved using ammonium oxalate at similar leaching condition. 39% zinc was dissolved using 3 M ammonium acetate at 80 degrees C, 1/10 solid-to-liquid ratio for 180 min., while 23.1% of zinc dissolution was achieved when the ammonium acetate was tested under similar experimental conditions. As a result, sulfuric, citric, malic, sulfosalicylic and formic acids were deemed to be the most promising leaching agents for the selective recovery of zinc from the lead-zinc flotation tailing.

    Selection of an Appropriate Acid Type for the Recovery of Zinc From a Flotation Tailing by the Analytic Hierarchy Process
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-02) Kursunoglu, Sait; Kursunoglu, Nilufer; Hussaini, Shokrullah; Kaya, Muammer
    The selection of acid type for metal dissolution from minerals is an important issue in leaching operations. Acids are used to recover valuable elements from the minerals by dissolving them in a solution. The acid must offer a high recovery at marginal cost and a low environmental effect. Many parameters can affect the acid type selection for high leaching recovery and low environmental effect and thus, the selection of an acid type is complex. In this study, based on the experimental results obtained from the bench-scale laboratory studies, the selection of acid type for the recovery of zinc from a flotation tailing was investigated using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The utilization of AHP was supported by the use of ExpertChoice (R) 2000 software. The outcomes demonstrated that sulfuric acid is the most desirable acid type with a ranking of 0.541, tracked by citric acid, and oxalic acid with scoring of 0.282 and 0.177, respectively. Furthermore, analyses of sensitivity were performed to examine the influence of the main criteria on the different acid type. It emerged that citric acid can be used when the environmental main criterion ascended from 7.8% to 75.3%. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Production of Mixed Rare Earth Oxide Powder From a Thorium Containing Complex Bastnasite Ore
    (Elsevier, 2021-02) Kursunoglu, Sait; Hussaini, Shokrullah; Top, Soner; Ichlas, Zela Tanlega; Gokcen, Hasan Serkan; Ozsarac, Safak; Kaya, Muammer
    The production of mixed rare earth oxide powder from a thorium containing bastnasite ore by sulfuric acid bake water leaching followed by precipitation with oxalic acid and thermal decomposition of the oxalates was investigated. The sulfuric acid baking was performed at 250 degrees C and the optimum baking time was found to be 3 h. Using deionized water as lixiviant, 92.6% La, 86.8% Ce, 86.9% Pr, 82.3% Nd, 95.4% Th and 31% Y were dissolved from the baked ore at 25 degrees C after 30 min of leaching. The effect of solid-to-liquid ratio on the dissolution of the rare earth elements and thorium shows that when the solid ratio in the water increased from 1:10 to 1:3, the dissolution percentage decreased. The final mixed rare earth oxide powder contained 88.54% REO and 6% ThO20 together with small amounts of other impurities. The SEM mapping results revealed that the produced REO has an irregular crystal shape. Based on the experimental results obtained from the current study, a flowsheet was proposed for the production of mixed rare earth oxide powder from a specific complex bastnasite ore.

    Pb-Zn Recovery From a Malic Leach Solution of a Carbonate Type Ore Flotation Tailing by Precipitation and Solvent Extraction
    (Elsevier, 2021-10) Hussaini, Shokrullah; Tita, Angela Manka; Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Ichlas, Zela Tanlega; Kar, Umut; Kaya, Muammer
    The recovery of zinc and lead from a malic leach solution of a carbonate type ore flotation tailing by precipitation with sulfuric acid followed by solvent extraction using di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as extractant was investigated. The separation of lead via precipitation was essentially complete from the malic acid leach solution by adding sulphuric acid to reach a pH of 0.25 at 25 degrees C. The precipitate product was identified by XRD as anglesite (PbSO4). The pregnant leach solution after lead precipitation was then subjected to solvent extraction using D2EHPA. The optimum solvent extraction conditions were determined as 10% D2EHPA concentration, 25 degrees C temperature, 10 min contact time and phase ratio of unity. Under these conditions, 99.3% of zinc was extracted into the organic phase at a pH of 4.2 in a single contact alongside a substantial amount of Ca (76.6%), and minor amounts of Fe (19.2%) and Mg (18%). Complete stripping of zinc and calcium from the loaded organic solution along with 47.8% of Mg was achieved at a pH 0.5 under room temperature. No iron stripping was observed from the loaded organic. The zinc content in the loaded strip solution could be enriched and then sent to the electrowinning (EW) stage. It is noted that the calcium and magnesium impurities in the loaded strip solution had no adverse effect on the zinc EW process. Based on the experimental results, a flowsheet was proposed for the recovery of Pb and Zn from the malic acid leach solution. With the proposed precipitation and solvent extraction process, two different material streams are produced.

    Critical Review on Secondary Zinc Resources and Their Recycling Technologies
    (Elsevier, 2020-08) Kaya, Muammer; Hussaini, Shokrullah; Kursunoglu, Sait
    In a race to save the earth of its rapidly depleting natural resources, the use of Secondary Raw Materials (SMRs) as alternative replacements in several processes is currently intensively pursued. The valorization of SMRs is consistent with the sustainable circular economy, where resource efficiency is maximized for the benefit of both the economy and green environment. In line with this mandate, this article focuses on investigating recent studies on secondary zinc (Zn) resources and describing state-of-art Zn recycling technologies. Globally, some of the main Zn-containing secondary raw materials are mine/concentrator/smelter tailings, wastes, slags, scraps, dust, etc. Although the pyrometallurgical process has been dominant in the secondary metal recycling processes, there has been growing interest and pressure to achieve sustainable and greener recycling methods to remediate the environmental problems caused by emissions of toxic heavy metals and sulfur oxides in the traditional smelting process. In the last decades, many sustainable and environmentally friendly novel hydrometallurgical processes for Zn extraction were developed to overcome tougher legislation and meet cost competitiveness. Secondary Zn recycling focuses on the development of selective Zn-rich but Pb, Fe, As-lean recovery processes.
