Article Citation - Scopus: 2Zeolite Synthesis by Alkali Fusion Method Using Two Different Fly Ashes Derived From Turkish Thermal Power Plants(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2020-03-01) Top, S.; Vapur, HüseyinIn this study, Faujasite (Na-LSX) (3.5(Ca0.3)3.5(Na0.6)3.5(Mg0.1)Al7Si17O48 32(H2O)) type zeolites and Ca-Filipsite (CaK0.6Na0.4Si5.2Al2.8O16 6(H2O)) type zeolites were produced from Sugözü Thermal Power Plant and Çatalaǧzi Thermal Power Plant fly ashes by alkali fusion method followed by water leaching, respectively. In these methods, fly ashes and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were mixed in certain proportions and sintered at 600°C in ash furnace. Then, zeolites were obtained from the ground materials after water leaching and solid/liquid separation, respectively. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) analyses were used to characterize the synthesized zeolites. The zeolites synthesized with Sugözü fly ashes in a ratio of 1:2 had 136.93 meq/100 g CEC, whereas the CEC of synthesized zeolite from Çatalaǧzi fly ashes was found to be 247.88 meq/100 g. As a result, zeolites, which can be used as wastewater treatment agent, energy storage material, catalyst and separator, were synthesized by using 2 different Class F fly ash. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 4Separation of Fe and Mn From Manganiferous Iron Ores via Reductive Acid Leaching Followed by Magnetic Separation(Springer, 2019-08-01) Top, S.In this study, a process to separate manganese and iron from manganiferous iron ores by reductive acid leaching followed by magnetic separation was conceived and experimentally tested. In the leaching process, sulfuric acid was used as lixiviant and oxalic acid was used as reductant. The experimental results showed that the manganese and iron separation was optimum when the concentration of the sulfuric acid and oxalic acid were 0.75 M and 30 g/L, respectively, at a temperature of 80 °C, a solid/liquid ratio of 67 g/L, stirring speed of 400 rpm, and leaching duration of 60 min. Under this condition, 90.49% and 6.78% of Mn and Fe were dissolved, respectively, from the ore sample with a size fraction of − 106 μm. It was determined that the leaching of manganese from the ores was a second-order reaction with an activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>) of 53.38 kJ/mol. The leaching residues obtained under the optimum condition were subjected to high-intensity wet magnetic separation tests to recover the remaining iron content. This separation process produced a concentrate containing 56.20% Fe and 1.79% Mn with iron and manganese recoveries of 56.83% and 66.73%, respectively. A magnetic separation test from an unleached ore sample was also carried out as a benchmark. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a magnetic separation process was used to a residue obtained from reductive acid leaching of manganiferous iron ores to recover iron. © 2019, Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration Inc.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.

This study investigates the extraction of zinc metal from the Kayseri region oxidized lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) flotation tailings by leaching using three different inorganic acids (HNO3, HCl, and H2SO4) and six different organic acids (citric (CA), oxalic (OA), formic (FA), ascorbic (AA), malic (MA), and tartaric (TA) acids). The effects of acid type and concentration, leaching temperature and time, and solid/liquid (S/L) ratio were studied for maximum Zn dissolution and minimum Pb, Fe, and As co-dissolution at lowest temperature and leaching time. For inorganic acids at 1/10 S/L ratio, 1.0MH(2)SO(4) and HCl concentrations achieved 92% Zn + 0% Pb + 12% Fe at 40 degrees C leaching temperature and 60 min leaching time and 92% Zn + 10% Pb + 0% Fe at 80 degrees C leaching temperature and 30 min leaching time, respectively. For organic acids, at 1/10 S/L ratio and 1.0M concentration, 92% Zn + 8.3% Pb with malic acid at 80 degrees C leaching temperature and 180 min leaching time and 91% Zn + 12% Pb with citric acid at 60 degrees C leaching temperature and 180 min leaching time were achieved. 1.0 M formic acid dissolved about 83% Zn + 2.8% Pb at 80 degrees C and 180 min leaching time. More than 90% Zn dissolution can be succeeded by using either inorganic acids at 40 degrees C for 30-60 min leaching time or organic acids at 60-80 degrees C for 180 min leaching time. Oxalic acid significantly dissolved Fe and As without Zn and Pb dissolution.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Leaching of Yahyali Non-Sulphide Pb-Zn Flotation Tailing Using Organic Acids(Baski, 2019) Hussaini, Shokrullah; Kursunoglu, Sait; Kaya, MuammerThe laboratory scale leaching of Kayseri-Yahyali non-sulphide lead (Pb)-zinc (Zn) flotation tailing using two organic acids was experimentally investigated. The effect of citric and oxalic acid on the dissolution of Zn, Pb, iron (Fe) and arsenic (As) was individually investigated under the following conditions: citric or oxalic acid concentration of 0.5-1.0M, temperature of 60-80°C and leaching time of 30-180 min. at 1/10 solid-to-liquid (S/L) ratio. 90.1% Zn dissolution was achieved using 0.5 M citric acid at 80°C leaching temperature for 180 min leaching time. The Fe, Pb and As dissolutions were determined as less than 20% under the conditions tested. 95.5% Fe and 68.8% As were removed from the flotation tailing along with less than 5% of Zn and Pb using 1.0 M oxalic acid for 180 min. leaching time at 60°C leaching temperature. It was found that citric acid is more prominent than oxalic acid for the selective leaching of zinc from the flotation tailing whereas a substantial amount of iron and arsenic removal can be achived by oxalic acid leaching. The use of NaCl along with citric acid was not useful for higher Zn dissolution. Based on the experimental results, an appropriate process will be improved for the selective leaching of valuable metals from the Pb-Zn non-sulphide flotation tailing in the near future. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1A Review on the Recovery of High-Grade Critical Metals From Spent Petroleum Catalysts for Meeting the Demands of Industry 5.0(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024-03-22) Taz, Dilara; Ozsarac, Safak; Kursunoglu, Sait; Kursunoglu, Nilufer; Top, Soner; Altiner, MahmutIn solvent extraction studies, various extractants, including TOPO, Alamine 308, TBP, TOA, LIX 84I, LIX 63, and Aliquat 336, were employed for the extraction and separation of vanadium, molybdenum, and cobalt from aqueous solutions of spent petroleum catalysts. Results indicated efficient metal recovery using these extractants. Furthermore, a combination of techniques, such as roasting, chemical or bioleaching, solvent extraction (SX), and precipitation, exhibited promising results in achieving comprehensive metal extraction and separation. Important discoveries have been made in the study of recovering important metals from wasted petroleum catalysts, especially with regard to attaining high metal recovery efficiencies. It is found that the recovery efficiency for manganese is 85%, cobalt is 87%, and nickel is 93%. Furthermore, it shows that this procedure may be carried out with high efficiency, with vanadium recovery surpassing 90% and molybdenum recovery efficiency above 95%. These outcomes signify a significant advancement in the field of metal extraction and separation, aligning with the principles of Industry 5.0 while emphasizing sustainability and efficiency in the production of high-tech materials for the modern era.Article Citation - Scopus: 16Hydrometallurgical 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.Article Manganzı Demir Cevherinden Manganın Çözündürülmesinde Farklı İndirgeme Maddelerinin Etkisi(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2022-06-26) Top, S.; Altiner, Mahmut; Kursunoglu, SaitIIn this paper, the manganese extraction from a manganiferous iron ore was investigated using reductive leaching. Various chemicals were used as a reducing agent to leach manganese selectively from the ore in the presence of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution. Firstly, optimum dissolution values were determined for selective manganese dissolution without using a reducing agent. As it was aimed at the selective extraction of manganese from the ore, the reductive leaching tests were conducted by adding the reducing agents under the following optimal parameters: a leaching time of 1 h, a stirring speed of 300 rpm, a temperature of 70°C, a sulfuric acid concentration of 1 M where the ore was leached with an extraction ratio of 11.54% Mn and 2.16% Fe. Manganese was dissolved with high efficiencies (up to 97.46%) from the ore by using different organic compounds (tartaric acid (C<inf>4</inf>H<inf>6</inf>O<inf>6</inf>), oxalic acid (C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>), citric acid (C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>8</inf>O<inf>7</inf>), glucose (C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>12</inf>O<inf>6</inf>), sucrose (C<inf>12</inf>H<inf>22</inf>O<inf>11</inf>), and maleic acid (C<inf>4</inf>H<inf>4</inf>O<inf>4</inf>)) as the reducing agents. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Kalsitik ve Dolomitik Kireçtaşlarının Çimentolu Macun Dolgunun Çevresel Davranışına Etkisi(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2022-03-07) Yılmaz, Tekin; Ercikdi, BayramTo enhance the strength and stability of cemented paste backfill (CPB), many alkaline materials are utilised as replacement or additive to binder or tailings in CPB. However, the effect of these materials on groundwater pollution of CPB needs to be comprehensively investigated. In this study, effects of the utilization of calcitic and dolomitic limestone (CL and DL) as replacement (10 wt.%) to sulphide mine tailings (S-MT) in CPB mixture on the long-term environmental behaviour of CPB were investigated. For this purpose, CPB samples (CPBs) were subjected to dynamic tank leaching tests over 360-days and the analyses of pH, sulphate (SO4 2-) and heavy metals (HMs) on the leachates were carried out. The effects of mineralogy and microstructure on the environmental behavior of CPBs were also examined by X-ray diffractometry and porosity tests. The findings showed that with the utilization of CL and DL, the pH of leachates remained at alkaline levels and the release of SO4 2- was significantly reduced. Furthermore, the denser microstructure in CPBs of CL and DL contributed to be prevented or be remarkably reduced the HMs-releases (except Cu, Mo and Pb). The results reveal that the mechanical properties of CPB as well as its impact on the groundwater pollution should be carefully evaluated. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 6Extraction of Lanthanum and Cerıum from a Bastnasite Ore By Direct Acidic Leaching(Chamber of Mining Engineers of Turkey, 2020-06-01) Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, S.; Hussaini, Shokrullah; Gokcen, H. S.; Altiner, Mahmut; Ozsarac, Safak; Kaya, MuammerThe extraction of lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce) from a bastnasite ore by direct acidic leaching was investigated. The effects of acid concentration and leaching temperature on the extraction of La and Ce from the ore were tested. Using nitric (NHO3), more than 85% of the La and Ce were simultaneously extracted into leach solution whereas the La and Ce dissolutions were determined as less than 85% by using sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The La dissolution exceeded 90% by using hydrochloric acid (HCl); however, the Ce dissolution remained below 85% under the following conditions: solid-to-liquid ratio of 20% (w/v), the acid concentration of 20%, leaching temperature of 25°C and leaching time of 1 h. The result revealed that HNO3 could be used as a solvent for the maximum simultaneous extraction of the La and Ce from the bastnasite ore. The leaching temperature had no crucial effect on the dissolution of La and Ce when HNO3 or HCl solutions were preferred as a solvating agent. However, the leaching temperature had a slight positive effect on the dissolutions of La and Ce when H2SO4 was used as a solvent. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
