Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 37Testing 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, MuammerThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 68Solvent Extraction Process for the Recovery of Nickel and Cobalt From Caldag Laterite Leach Solution: The First Bench Scale Study(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017-05) Kursunoglu, Sait; Ichlas, Zela Tanlega; Kaya, MuammerA solvent extraction application consisting of two-sequential solvent extraction circuits to separate the nickel and cobalt from a synthetic sulphate leach solution which simulates a typical Caldag lateritic leach solution was conceived and experimentally explored. The first circuit allowed the simultaneous extraction of most of the nickel (98%), cobalt (98%) and manganese (94%) with 20% neodecanoic acid (Versatic 10) and 5% tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in ShellSol 2046 at pH 72 together with substantial amounts of calcium (65%) and magnesium (12%). Three stages of scrubbing at pH 5.6 using diluted sulphuric acid solution allowed the removal of most of the magnesium (90%) and substantial amount of calcium (16%). Complete stripping of nickel, cobalt, manganese, magnesium and calcium was achieved at pH 0.75. This loaded strip solution was the feed for the second circuit. The use 15% bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex 272) and 5% TBP in ShellSol 2046 allowed the extraction of most of the cobalt (94%) and manganese (98%) at pH 5.0 but with substantial co-extraction of magnesium (41%) and calcium (40%) and a minor amount of nickel (3%). A two-stage scrubbing of this loaded organic with cobalt (20 g L-1) solution was performed. Magnesium, calcium and nickel were completely displaced with cobalt. Most of the manganese (93%) was removed from the organic. Complete stripping of the cobalt and manganese in the scrubbed organic phase was achieved at pH 1.0. Therefore, nickel (94%) and cobalt (91%) were totally separated from the feed solution. In addition, slope analyses were carried out to determine the nature of the extracted complexes of the nickel and cobalt with each extractant. Based on the experimental results, a flowsheet for the separation process is presented. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

The pregnant leach solution was subjected to a solvent extraction process. 98% Co and 99% Mn were extracted at pH 4.84 with 30% (v/v) Cyanex 272, leaving essentially all nickel in the raffinate. Based on the experimental results, a flowsheet is proposed.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 44Selection 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, MuammerThe 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.

The oxidative leaching experiments were carried out using sulfuric acid in the presence of potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The dissolutions of lithium, manganese, nickel, and cobalt were found to be 84.8%, 0.9%, 46.6%, and 9.7%, respectively. The results demonstrated that a considerable amount of manganese and cobalt remained in the leach residue. The Li-bearing leach solution was fed to an impurity removal stage. It was observed that a substantial amount of lithium loss, along with manganese, nickel, and cobalt, was determined at pH 10. At standard temperature and pressure, the species of lithium as a function of pH, lithium concentration, and carbonate concentration was evaluated for the generation of Li2CO3 from the oxidative leach solution. The results revealed that the precipitation of lithium as lithium carbonate is thermodynamically feasible from the solution at high pHs.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Recovery of Manganese From Spent Batteries Using Activated Carbon Powder as Reductant in Sulfuric Acid Solution(Asian Journal of Chemistry, 2013) Kursunoglu, Sait; Kaya, MuammerRecovery of manganese from spent batteries was investigated using activated carbon powder as a reducing agent in sulfuric acid solution. The effects of four different leaching parameters (sulfuric acid concentration, amount of activated carbon powder, temperature and time) on the leaching of manganese from spent batteries were investigated using central composite design technique. The maximum manganese recovery conditions were determined as 1 M of sulfuric acid concentration, 3 g of activated carbon powder, 80 degrees C of temperature and 3 h of leaching time. Under these conditions, the recovery of manganese was 86.39 % and pH value of the solution was 0.77. According to the reductive acid leaching results, an empirical second order equation for manganese recovery based on four investigated parameters was calculated. The observed values of manganese recoveries using model equation were found to be in a good agreement with the predicted values (R-2 = 0.92).Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 19Recovery of Zinc and Lead from Yahyali Non-Sulphide Flotation Tailing by Sequential Acidic and Sodium Hydroxide Leaching in the Presence of Potassium Sodium Tartrate(Elsevier, 2020-12) Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Kaya, MuammerThe recovery of zinc and lead from Yahyali non-sulphide flotation tailing using sulfuric acid followed by sodium hydroxide leaching in the presence of potassium sodium tartrate was experimentally investigated. In the acidic leaching stage, the effects of pH, solid-to-liquid ratio and temperature on the dissolution of zinc from the tailing were explored. 82.3% Zn dissolution was achieved at a pH of 2, a temperature of 40 degrees C, a solid-to-liquid ratio of 20% and a leaching time of 2 h, whereas the iron and lead dissolutions were determined to be less than 0.5%. The sulfuric acid consumption was found to be 110.6 kg/t (dry tailing). The leaching temperature had no beneficial effect on the dissolution of zinc from the tailing. The acidic leach solution was subjected to an electrowinning test. The cathode product consisted of 99.8% Zn and 0.15% Fe. In the alkaline leaching stage, the Pb dissolution increased slightly in the presence of potassium sodium tartrate. More than 60% of Pb was taken into the leach solution when the leaching temperature increased from 40 to 80 degrees C. The final leach residue was analyzed by XRD and XRF. The XRD results indicated that the major peaks originated from the goethite and quartz while minor peaks stem from smithsonite and cemssite. The XRF analysis demonstrated that the residue contained 70.3% iron oxide. Based on the sequential leaching experiments, the zinc and lead were excellently depleted from the flotation tailing, leaving a considerable amount of iron in the final residue.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Recovery of Lead and Zinc From a Citric Leach Solution of a Non-Sulfide Type Ore Flotation Tailing via Precipitation Followed by Solvent Extraction(Springer, 2023-01-12) Hussaini, Shokrullah; Tita, Angela Manka; Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Kaya, MuammerThe recovery of zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) from a citric leach solution of a non sulfide type ore flotation tailing was examined utilizing sulfuric acid precipitation followed by solvent extraction using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as the extractant. Following lead precipitation (98.9%) with sulfuric acid, the pregnant leach solution was sent to solvent extraction stage with D2EHPA for the separation of zinc from the other impurities such as Ca, Mg and Fe. The best solvent extraction conditions were determined to be a concentration of 20% D2EHPA, temperature of 25 degrees C, contact time of 10 min and phase ratio of unity. Under the optimum conditions, 98.3% Zn was extracted into the organic phase in a single contact at a pH of 3.6, along with a significant amount of Ca (79%) and minor amounts of Mg (14.7%) and Fe (8.6%). At pH 4.5, the loaded organic solution was carried to the scrubbing stage, where 20 g/L zinc solution was used to remove approximately 91% Ca and 34% Mg from the organic solution. At a pH of 0.25, the loaded organic solution was almost completely stripped of zinc and 27% of calcium in two steps.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 13Production 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, MuammerThe 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.

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.
