This study was carried out with Beypazari trona ore having a grade about 85 % trona (Na2CO3.NaHCO3.2H2O). The main target of the study is the determination of calcinations and leaching parameters, which are the two main unit operations in the production of soda ash (Na2CO3) from trona ore. Calcination parameters; calcination duration, calcination temperature and particle size were determined by using three different heat treatment systems, namely laboratory type muffle furnace, up draught furnace and microwave oven. As an alternative, wet type microwave-induced calcination which completes the decomposition of trona in solution was also investigated. Thirty minutes of calcination time was sufficient for complete calcination of ا6.35 mm trona sample at 175 °C with the muffle furnace. Calcination of trona with microwave treatment was completed in a shorter time. The nature of thermal reactions and structural changes of trona during calcination were elucidated by TG (Thermogravimetry), DTG (Derivative Thermogravimetry), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. The effect of heat treatment on grindability, specific surface area and decrepitation of trona were also investigated. In the last stage of the study, leaching parameters; leaching time, leaching temperature and pulp density were determined for both uncalcined and calcined samples. 80 % leach recovery was obtained in 4 minutes for ا6.35 mm particle size of uncalcined sample in 25 % pulp density while 100 % leach recovery was reached for the calcined samples under the same conditions.

Investigation of concentration possibility of Artvin - Dereici complex sulfide ore by flotation
Çetin, Mahir Can; Altun, Naci Emre; Department of Mining Engineering (2017)
This study was aimed at investigating the amenability of Artvin-Dereiçi ore to concentration by flotation method. Initially, mineralogical characterization study of run-of-mine Artvin-Dereiçi ore was conducted using both optical microscope and XRD technique. Optical microscope images of samples, prepared as polished sections, and XRD analysis revealed that the ore consisted of minerals with potential economic value, chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), galena (PbS), and sphalerite (ZnS), together with gangue minerals, ma...
Comparison of undrained shear strength by pressuremeter and other tests, and numerical assessment of the effect of finite probe length in pressuremeter tests
IŞIK, Nihat Sinan; ULUSAY, REŞAT; Doyuran, Vedat (2015-08-01)
There is a wide body of research reported in the literature which compare the undrained shear strength determined from various field and laboratory tests. The pressuremeter testing equipment and the related design techniques have been continuously refined. However, the undrained shear strength (S (u)) determined from the pressuremeter test (PMT) is generally higher than that obtained from other field or laboratory tests. In this study, numerical methods to consider the effects of length to diameter ratio (L...
Performance of Reinforced Concrete Columns Designed for Flexure under Severe Displacement Cycles
Acun, Bora; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2010-05-01)
Twelve full-scale column specimens designed for pure flexure failure were tested in this study. Two typical column designs were employed in the tests representing substandard and code-confonning columns, respectively The main variable in the experiments was the imposed displacement history. The deformation-based performance limits proposed for substandard columns by Eurocode 8 and ASCE/SEI 41 were found very conservative in view of the test results, which may lead to misleading results in the seismic risk a...
Comparison Of Formulae For Shear Strength Of Unsaturated Soils
Zehtab, Kaveh Hassan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Ahmadiadli, Mohammad (2012-06-30)
During last 60 years many research studies have been conducted on calculation of shear strength of unsaturated soils and effects of matric suction on it. Several formulae are developed for predicting shear strength of unsaturated soils, based on strength tests on unsaturated soils. A variety of experimental techniques and laboratory equipment are used for unsaturated shear strength characterization. This study discusses the accuracy of shear strength prediction for unsaturated soils with three different for...
Evaluation of aggregate size effect on asphalt mixture homogeneity using image analysis
Yücel, Ayhan Öner; Güler, Murat (null; 2018-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effect of aggregate size fractions on asphalt mixture inhomogeneity by means of a proposed inhomogeneity test method. The study of inhomogeneity is conducted using 2-dimensional, vertical section images of asphalt concrete specimens that are produced using the Superpave gyratory compactor. Mixture inhomogeneity is evaluated based on aggregates distribution because aggregates are the primary constituent governing the inhomogeneity level of asphalt mixtures during the ...
