    Comparison of the Antimony Cementation from Chloride Media Using Various Cementators
    (2022-04-01) ÇETİNER, BURCU NİLGÜN; AKTAŞ, SERDAR; Kucukoglu O., ÇETİNER B. N., Morcali M. H., AKTAŞ S.
    This study compares the cementation performance of metallic iron, metallic aluminum, and metallic tin in terms of the reaction conditions and parameters in synthetic antimony chloride solutions. The effects on the antimony recovery (%) caused by the cementators\" types, stirring speed, reaction time, and temperatures were explored thoroughly. The cementation kinetics of antimony were also explored for each cementator. The activation energies were determined to be 10.99, 9.09, and 13.58 kJ mol(-1) for Al, Fe, and Sn, respectively. The results reveal that the reaction is diffusion controlled, and comparable results were obtained for each cementator. At 25 degrees C, 40 mg of iron powder was found to reduce all antimony ions (i.e., approx. 99% recovery), but even when 100 mg of Al and Sn cementators were used, the antimony recovery did not reach 100%. This result shows that iron is the best candidate to cement antimony out of the solution.

    Studies of Gold Adsorption from Chloride Media
    (UNIV FED SAO CARLOS, DEPT ENGENHARIA MATERIALS, 2015-06) AKTAŞ, SERDAR; Morcali, Mehmet Hakan; Zeytuncu, Bihter; Ozlem, Eda; Aktas, Serdar
    In this paper, adsorption of gold from chloride media using commercial sorbent (Lewatit TP 214 (L-214)) and biomass residue (rice hull (RH)) were investigated. The different adsorption parameters, sorbent dosage, contact time, temperature and pH of solution on adsorption (%) were studied in detail on a batch sorption. Before the RH was activated, adsorption (%) was poor compared with L-214. However, after the RH was activated at 1000 degrees C under an argon atmosphere, the gold adsorption (%) increased four-fold. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to explore the feasibility this material as an adsorbent for the removal of gold from aqueous solutions. The adsorption equilibrium data were best fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities, Q(max), at 25 degrees C were found to be 93.46 and 108.70 mg/g for the activated rice hull (ARH) and L-214, respectively. Thermodynamic calculations using Delta H degrees, Delta S degrees, Delta G degrees and E-a values indicate that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic.
