Öğe Determination of Optimal Conditions for Retention of Sulfur Dioxide by Waste Ulexite Ore in an Aqueous Medium(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017) Çopur, Mehmet; Karagoz, Ozlem; Kocakerim, M. MuhtarThe main aim of this study was to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is one of the most significant air pollutants emitted from thermal power stations, using waste ulexite ore, which cannot be recycled industrially and poses a risk for the environment. In experiments conducted at atmospheric pressure in an aqueous environment, the optimization of holding SO2 with waste ulexite ore has been investigated comprehensively and determined how much SO2 could be retained in solid waste. The Taguchi method was used to determine the optimal conditions, and the effectiveness of the parameters was identified by variance analysis. The selected parameters and their ranges were defined as temperature (293-333 K), solid to liquid ratio (0.4-0.6 g mL(-1)), particle size (150-600 mu m), time (10-30 min), pH (5.5-7.5), and stirring speed (350-800 rpm). The optimal conditions for these parameters were determined to be 333 K, 0.45 g mL(-1), 250 mu m, 15 min, pH 6, and 350 rpm, respectively. Among all the parameters, temperature and pH were found to be the most effective. The results of the study revealed that SO2 can be retained in solid waste with calcium content of the boron minerals as CaSO3 center dot 0.5H(2)O and nearly whole B2O3 in the waste ulexite passes into solution. Under the optimum conditions, 86% of B2O3 passed into the solution and 75.2 L SO2 was retained by 1 kg waste ulexite ore. Thus, both B2O3 recovery and SO2 removal were materialized, while waste ulexite ore was evaluated and removed, simultaneously.Öğe Determination of the Optimum Conditions for Copper Leaching from Chalcopyrite Concentrate Ore Using Taguchi Method(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2015) Çopur, Mehmet; Kizilca, Meltem; Kocakerim, M. MuhtarThe optimum conditions for the extraction of copper from chalcopyrite concentrate into SO2-saturated water were evaluated using the Taguchi optimization method. High level copper recovery was obtained in an environmentally friendly process that avoids sulfur dioxide emission into the atmosphere because SO2 forming in the roasting is used in the dissolution. Experimental parameters and their ranges were chosen as follows: reaction temperature, 293-333 K; solid-to-liquid ratio, 0.025-0.15 g/mL; roasting time, 30-90 min; roasting temperature, 773-973 K; stirring speed, 400-800 rpm; and reaction time, 10-60 min. The particle size and gas flow rate were 63 mm and 10 cm(3)/min, respectively. The optimum conditions of the dissolution process were determined to be reaction temperature of 318 K, a solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.025 gmL(-1), a roasting time of 75 min, a roasting temperature of 773 K, a stirring speed of 400 rpm, and a reaction time of 30 min. Under optimum conditions, dissolution yield of copper was 91%.Öğe Kinetic analysis of retention of SO2 using waste ulexite ore in an aqueous medium(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Karagoz, Ozlem; Çopur, Mehmet; Kocakerim, M. MuhtarThis study was carried out under atmospheric pressure and examined the kinetics of retention of SO2, a toxic gas, by waste ulexite ore (WUO) from a boron concentration plant, as well as the kinetics of passing B2O3 content of WUO to solution. The parameters of temperature, solid-to-liquid ratio, particle size, gas flow rate, and stirring speed were selected for the experiments carried out in a jacketted cylindirical glass reactor. The data on retention-dissolution and an XRD graph showed that SO2 had been captured as CaSO3 center dot 0.5H(2)O, and that the B2O3 content of WUO had almost completely passed into the aqueous medium. A kinetic evaluation, performed with the retention-dissolution data using kinetic models for heterogenous reactions, found that the kinetics model for SO2 retention fitted diffusion through product layer control. In addition, the kinetics model for the B2O3 dissolution fitted the diffusion through product film control. Activation energies for SO2 retention in solid waste and B2O3 dissolution were 6196 J mol(-1) and 15436 J mol(-1) respectively.
