Book Part Lead Blast Furnace Dust Recycling(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Top, S.; Altiner, Mahmut; Kursunoglu, SaitThe recycling of lead (Pb), which has a limited reserve in the world, has great importance in terms of sustainable and efficient use of resources. Currently, more than half of the lead, which is the softest of base heavy metals, is recovered by recycling. In addition to the insulation of the cables and its use as a radiation shield, lead is mostly used in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries (LABs). Generally, lead smelting flue dust, also known as lead smelting fly ashes, formed during the smelting stage in secondary Pb production is fed back into the smelter. However, the impurities contained in this dust and the other required specifications for feeding into the furnace prevent dust from being fed back into the furnaces. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate these by-products with an effective process and to obtain valuable content from them. In this chapter, firstly the characterization of lead smelting flue dust has been investigated. Afterwards, the processes that can be applied to obtain contents such as Pb, Sb, Zn, and As from these materials were compiled from the literature and a comprehensive review study was presented. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Recovery of Lithium From Spent Coin-Type Lithium Manganese Dioxide Cr Cells by Acidic Leaching in the Presence of Potassium Permanganate as Oxidant(Springer, 2023) Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Altiner, Mahmut; Ozsarac, Safak; Kaya, MuammerThe selective leaching of lithium from spent coin-type lithium manganese dioxide CR cells by oxidative leaching and precipitation of Li2CO3 from Li-bearing leach solution has been experimentally and theoretically investigated. 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: 6Citation - Scopus: 3Separation of Fe and Mn From Manganiferous Iron Ores via Reductive Acid Leaching Followed by Magnetic Separation(Springer, 2020) 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 (Ea) 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 Artık Malzemelerden Box Behnken Test Dizaynı Kullanılarak Hafif Geopolimer Beton Üretimi(2020) Top, Soner; Kudak, HüseyinBu çalışmada, artık malzemelerden hibrit geopolimer beton üretim olanakları araştırılmıştır.

In this way, it was aimed both to evaluate the wastes and to prevent environmental pollution with materials that are cheaper and easier to obtain. The structure and surface properties of wood waste and coal samples crushed and ground to -75 µm size and used as adsorbent were investigated by XRD, SEM and BET analyses. In addition, samples have been characterized by elemental, ash, moisture, volatile matter and fixed carbon analyses. In the experiments, methylene blue (MM) with the formulation of C16H18CIN3S.xH2O was used. The effects of temperature, mixing time and concentration parameters on MM adsorption were investigated. Langmuir isotherms were created for different temperatures at optimum concentrations. As a result, it has been revealed that lignite coal and wood waste can be used as adsorbent. A 10 ppm MM for lignite coal and 3 ppm MM for wood waste were determined to be ideal concentrations for adsorption. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 25Production of Alpha-Alumina from Black Aluminum Dross Using NaOh Leaching Followed by Calcination(Springer, 2020) Turk, Murat; Altiner, Mahmut; Top, Soner; Karaca, Serkan; Bouchekrit, ChafiaThe aim of this work is to produce alpha-alumina particles from aluminum (Al) dross via leaching-precipitation-calcination processes. In the leaching test, the effects of parameters such as the temperature, NaOH concentration, and time were investigated based on the Taguchi approach. In addition, the effect of the particle size on the Al extraction rate was determined. The Al extraction rate ranged from 78.64% to 93.11% and from 78.35% to 91.99% for ground dross and as-received dross, respectively. In the precipitation test, the pH of the leachate solution was decreased using HCl to remove Al ions as Al hydroxide precipitate. The precipitate was calcined at 1000 degrees C to 1200 degrees C for 270 min. The morphological and polymorphic properties of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. The experimental findings indicated that the calcination temperature and stabilization time were critical for producing alpha-alumina particles rather than other polymorphs.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Recovery of Vanadium and Nickel From a High Caco3 Containing Petroleum Coke Ash by Roasting and Acidic Leaching(Springer, 2023) Yurtseven, Ozgun; Ibrahim, Ahmedaljaali Ibrahim Idrees; Top, Soner; Kursunoglu, Sait; Altiner, MahmutIn this study, it was aimed to extract vanadium (V) and nickel (Ni) from a petroleum coke ash (PCA) using a roasting process without additives, followed by leaching with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The experiments were designed based on the Taguchi approach, taking into account the parameters of temperature, acid concentration, time, and solid ratio. Additional leaching tests were conducted on the non-roasted PCA for comparison, to assess the effect of roasting on the extractions of V and Ni. The results showed that no extra reducing agent was needed as the PCA contained high levels of CaCO3, which could be used as a reducing agent during roasting. It was found that roasting was essential for high Ni extractions, but had no strong effects on V extractions. The Ni extraction was found to be between 13.3 and 80.8% for the non-roasted PCA and between 43.6 and 99.3% for the roasted PCA. The V extraction was between 36 and 97.9% for the non-roasted PCA and between 45.4 and 99.9% for the roasted PCA. The optimal leaching conditions were determined to be a sulfuric acid of 4.5 M, a solid ratio of 10%, a temperature of 75 degrees C, and a time of 75 min. In addition, it was determined that the leaching conditions had a great effect on the oxidation state of vanadium ions, and an increase in the acid concentration led to the formation of V3+ ions (green color) instead of VO2+ ions (blue color) in the pregnant leach solution. The final pregnant leach solution containing 1056.50 mg/L V, and 251.85 mg/L Ni was achieved with an extraction yields of > 98%. The experimental results were greatly fitted by the shrinking core model and the activation energy (E-a) for V and Ni was calculated as 3.60 and 4.01 kJ/mol, indicating that the leaching mechanism can be explained by the diffusion control model.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 6Waste Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Technologies(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Altiner, Mahmut; Top, S.; Kursunoglu, SaitThe growing of collected waste lead-acid battery quantity means the growing demand for secondary lead (Pb) material for car batteries, both needed for increased cars’ production and for replacing of waste batteries for the increased number of automobiles in service. Pb recycling is critical to keep pace with growing energy storage needs. In recent years, tightening emission regulations have forced many developed country smelters to close. This has driven battery manufacturers and distributors to increasingly rely upon unregulated smelting operations in developing nations, negatively impacting the environment and human health. Therefore, finding a cleaner and more cost-efficient Pb recovery and recycling method is critical to the Pb recycling community. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Characterization of Nickel in Chromite Beneficiation Tailings by Mineral Liberation Analysis and Its Recovery by H2SO4 Leaching Followed by Oxalic Acid Precipitation(Springer, 2024) Altiner, Mahmut; Ibrahim, Ahmedaljaali Ibrahim Idrees; Kursunoglu, Sait; Top, Soner; Bayat, OktayThis study investigated the recovery of nickel from tailings (0.2% Ni) obtained in a chromite beneficiation plant using H2SO4 leaching followed by oxalic acid precipitation. The tailings were characterized using mineral liberation analysis. Ni was found as Fe-Ni, Fe-Ni-Co sulfide minerals, which were encapsulated in serpentine, olivine, pyroxene and clinochlore. Liberated fine chromite minerals benefited from magnetic separation followed by Falcon concentrator. A chromite product with a grade > 37% was obtained. The effect of leaching conditions including acid concentration, temperature, time and solid-to-liquid ratio on the leaching behavior of Ni was investigated based on the Taguchi approach. It was possible to extract Ni with a rate of > 98% from the tailings using the following conditions: H2SO4 concentration of 3 M, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:20 and ambient temperature for 2 h. Finally, Ni was precipitated as an oxalate form with a precipitation rate of 72%. It is believed that implementing additional purification methods like solvent extraction may be essential to obtain a high-purity nickel product from the leach solution of oxalate precipitate. Experimental results indicate that the tailings used in this study are a good alternative as Ni resource in the near future.Article Effective Processing of Specularite Ore by Wet Magnetic Separation and Reverse Flotation Techniques(2019) Top, Soner; Dhubaıbı, Ammar Mahdi Al; Vapur, HuseyinThe aim of this study was to obtain a high grade and yield percentage of iron concentratefrom a specularite ore by using wet magnetic separation and reverse flotation techniques.The processing a specularite sample using wet magnetic separation and reverseflotation method was studied. During the magnetic separation process, particle size was-2000 μm and magnetic field applied at 0.25 T and 0.85 T which were performed at asolid-liquid ratio of 10% and 20% by weight, respectively. In the reverse flotation tests,experimental design (DOE) was applied, statistically. Depressant dosage, collector dosageand flotation time were selected as main parameters. PH value, frother dosage (MIBC) andparticle size were constant parameters. The results showed that particle size and magnetic fieldintensity had a significant effect on the iron concentrate grade and yield for wet magneticseparation. The optimum value of iron concentrate grade was 98.75% at 0.25 T andparticle size of -150 μm while the highest value of iron concentrate yield was 67% at 0.75T and particle size of -74 μm. In the flotation tests, depressant dosage had the greatestinfluence on the iron concentrate grade while the effect of the collector dosage and frothcollection time were less. Froth collection time had the greatest effect on iron concentrateyield.The maximum iron concentrate grade was 90.13% for the following conditions:5250 g/ton depressant, 1000 g/ton collector and 2-minute froth collection time. Themaximum iron concentrate yield was 98.96% for the following conditions: 5250 g/tondepressant, 1500 g/ton collector and 1 min froth collection time under fixed conditions.
