In this study, the production technology of rare-earth oxides from Eskişehir-Beylikova complex ore that contains barite, fluorite, elements, and thorium were investigated. processes can be used in thorium-free mixed rare earth tested. Roasting, leaching, solvent extraction precipitation methods respectively. Roasting temperature roasting duration determined as 600 °C 1 hour, The optimum leachin...

To evaluate the potential environmental and health implications of leaching of wood preservatives in service under different conditions, there is a need for a predictive model that provides estimates of the rate and extent of leaching over a wide range of exposure conditions. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that preservative component emissions can be modeled on the basis of three easily ...

The worldwide production of PCC fly ash is estimated at achieving 800 million tonnes per year in 2010 [1]. European Union regulations aim at developing new technologies focused on the recycling of these large amounts of PCC fly ash into added-value products. The synthesis of geopolymer binders may be a successful alternative, giving rise to low-cost and environmentally friendly materials with c...

The influence of microwave heating on the leaching kinetics of chalcopyrite and sphalerite has been investigated. Chalcopyrite is inert to many leaching agents, especially ferric ion media. This mineral is considered to be one of the largest sources of copper, in terms of the scale of availability, and copper is usually extracted by pyrometallurgical processes. However, there has recently been ...

This study provides results for the optimization strategy of highly parameterized models, especially with a high number of unknown input parameters and joint problems in terms of sufficient parameter space. Consequently, the uncertainty in model parameterization and measurements must be considered when highly variable nitrogen losses, e.g. N leaching, are to be predicted. The Bayesian calibrati...

cauliflower-like nanostructure of cadmium oxide was synthesized by utilizing mechanochemical reaction followed calcination procedure for the first time. the design of experiment (doe) by taguchi method was used to study influence of the chosen factors and to consider optimum conditions of the experiments. the temperature of calcining, the duration of milling, the duration of calcining and react...

The rapid growth in the use of electronic equipments, combined with early obsolescence has contributed enormously to the generation of large quantity of electronic (e) waste. One such e-waste, the mobile phone printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain various precious metals which can be extracted by different hydrometallurgical routes. The present work deals with the recovery of gold using ammoniu...

For effective extraction of glucoamylase from the fermented rice bran by endophytic Aspergillus sp. JAN-25 in solid state fermentation, optimized leaching parameters, 1:6 (w/v) of 0.2 M citrate buffer as leaching agent, soaking time with moldy bran 120 min, leaching temperature 45 oC and leaching pH 4.0 at 150 rpm were found to be the optimum leaching parameters that leached the highest yield o...

The filter cake, generated from the cold-purification stage in a zinc electrowinning plant and considered as a hazardous waste containing heavy metals, was characterized for its chemical and mineralogical compositions by inductively couple plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), X-rays diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive X-rays spectrometry (SEM-EDS). ...
