Article Citation - WoS: 148Citation - Scopus: 167Critical Review on Secondary Zinc Resources and Their Recycling Technologies(Elsevier, 2020-08) Kaya, Muammer; Hussaini, Shokrullah; Kursunoglu, SaitIn 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 17Hydrometallurgical Processing of Nickel Laterites- A Brief Overview on the Use of Solvent Extraction and Nickel/Cobalt Project for the Separation and Purification of Nickel and Cobalt;(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2019-06-01) Kursunoglu, Sait; Kaya, MuammerIn this study, a brief overview of the solvent extraction (SX) application for the separation and purification of nickel and cobalt in hydrometallurgical processing of laterite nickel ores is presented. This paper consists of two parts: firstly, the SX of nickel and cobalt from sulphate leach solutions is described; and secondly, the development of hydrometallurgical plants for the processing of laterite nickel ores that involve solvent extraction technique is discussed. The most important extractants are shortly given in the first part of the study. It is seen that the extraction and separation of nickel and cobalt from the impure leach solution of laterite nickel ores can be performed by either using a single extractant system that is called as a direct solvent extraction (DSX) or a mixture of two or more extractant which is known as a synergistic solvent extraction system (SSX). Mixed sulphide precipitation (MSP) and mixed hydroxide precipitation (MHP) processes are mentioned. This paper is also addressed advantage and disadvantages of each extraction system. It is shown that capital investment expenditure, operational investment expenditure and mineralogical content are the most important factors that can affect the selection of the appropriate hydrometallurgical process for lateritic nickel ore. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
