Publication Open Access 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.Publication Metadata only Recovery of Ruthenium Via Zinc in the Presence of Accelerator(SPRINGER INDIA, 2018) AKTAŞ, SERDAR; Aktas, Serdar; Morcali, Mehmet Hakan; Aksu, Kemal; Aksoy, BurakIn this study, the recovery of ruthenium from spent bath solutions via cementation reaction with zinc powder was investigated. Studied parameters included the quantity of zinc, reaction temperature, reaction time and sodium chloride additions to understand their effects on the reaction. Tests were performed in a temperature controlled water-bath with temperatures between 20 and 70 A degrees C at atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, in order to determine activation energy of cementation reaction, several mathematical kinetic models were used and the activation energy, which was calculated from best fit, was found to be 12.48 kJ/mol. Addition of sodium chloride to the solution greatly accelerated the cementation reaction, in that, more the addition of sodium chloride, the better was the precipitation efficiency. In the absence of sodium chloride at 25 A degrees C a percentage of ruthenium recovery was below 75% whereas 1000 mg sodium chloride addition at 65 A degrees C ensured a percentage of ruthenium recovery more than 95%. This corresponded to more than about 28% increase.Publication Open Access Metallic antimony recovery via cementation from antimony containing solutions and investigation of its conditions(GAZI UNIV, FAC ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURE, 2021-05-20) ÇETİNER, BURCU NİLGÜN; Uysal, Abdullah; Cetiner, Burcu Nilgun; Aktas, SerdarBesides the most common uses of antimony metal and / or compounds, with the development of solar energy technologies, the need for antimony and its compounds increases and the rapid depletion of primary sources in the world increases the importance of antimony recovery from secondary sources. The recovery method proposed in this study aims to reduce the ionic antimony by oxidation of the more active metal and to produce metallic antimony in powder form as a result of reduction process. Oxide based antimony containing ore has been treated by acidic solutions. But as the recovery rate was too low, the parameters affecting the metallic precipitation of antimony from acidic synthetic antimony solutions which are a secondary source were examined in detail. The physical and chemical properties of antimony metal were determined after examining reaction time, temperature, initial antimony concentration, zinc powder amount and solution pH parameters during cementation process which could affect experimental working conditions. As a result of the experimental studies, using 25 mL of 1000 ppm Sb3(+) synthetic solution with the addition of 100 mg of metallic zinc and mixing speed of 60 rpm, recovery efficiency of up to 100% was achieved in a noticeably short time such as 5 minutes and metallic antimony of 99% purity was obtained. When 100% recovery was achieved with zinc of 100 mg in single-stage cementation, the same yield was achieved with the addition of 40% less zinc in two-stage cementation.Publication Metadata only Oxidative dissolution of nickel matte in dilute sulfuric acid solutions(ELSEVIER, 2019) AKTAŞ, SERDAR; Morcali, Mehmet Hakan; Khajavia, Leili Tafaghodi; Aktas, Serdar; Dreisinger, David BruceNickel matte (Ni3S2) is the most common feedstock for producing nickel oxide and nickel metal in associated refineries. Nickel matte is produced from sulfide or laterite ores, and contains around 73 wt% nickel. This study investigated the dissolution parameters of nickel matte in dilute sulfuric acid media in the presence of air as oxidant with the goal of presenting a cost-effective process for leaching nickel matte. The dissolution experiments were carried out to examine the following effects: air flow rate, stirring speed, S/L ratio, acid concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and the amount of ferrous sulfate added. Nickel extraction of 90% and cobalt extraction of 80% were achieved using dilute H2SO4 and sparging of air as a source of oxygen. To increase the dissolution percentage of the matte, ferrous sulfate addition was studied and the oxidation and reduction potential (ORP) was measured to investigate the effect of ferrous ions on nickel and cobalt recovery. The highest nickel dissolution percentage (95%) was observed with the initial addition of 1200 mg/L Fe (II). Characterization of samples has been carried out with quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy, along with an energy dispersive system (SEM-EDS).
