The slags from iron-steel and zinc industries are rich in metal oxide contents like FeO, MnO, CaO. However, these slags are not used extensively, except some usage in the cement industry. These slags can be used in removing H2S from waste gases from different industrial sources. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of initial concentration of H2S on the capacity and sorbent efficiency of waste materials from iron-steel and zinc industries. Experiments were conducted in a 25 mm-quartz reactor with simulated gases containing H2S as reactive gas. Breakthrough curves for sulfidation reactions were obtained for 3000 ppmv, 4000 ppmv and 5000 ppmv initial H2S concentrations at the reaction temperature range of 500°Cا700°C. According to the results obtained from the experiments, the H2S removal capacity of both slags increased with increasing reaction temperature, however, the H2S removal capacity of the slags decreases as the initial H2S concentration increases. Cyclic sulfidation and regeneration tests were applied to both steel and zinc slags in order to determine the regenerability of the slags. In cyclic tests, zinc slag gave better results than steel slag. A أDeactivation Modelؤ was used in order to fit the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally to the breakthrough curves predicted from the deactivation model. A very good fit was obtained for both steel and zinc slags. Zinc slag was shown to be more suitable for gas cleanup than steel slag taking into account its high H2S removal efficiency, regenerability and low cost (almost free of charge).

Synthesis of special cement with fluidised bed combustion ashes
Selçuk Yüce, Nihal; Soner, I.; Selçuk, Emre (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2010-04-01)
Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) ashes containing a significant amount of free calcium oxide and calcium sulfate in addition to valuable inorganic acidic oxide ingredients such as silicon oxide, ferric oxide and aluminium oxide can be utilised as potential raw materials in the production of non-expansive belite-rich calcium sulfoaluminate cement, which is one of the special cement types having performance characteristics similar to those of ordinary Portland cement in addition to having lower energy requireme...
USE OF GANGUE KAOLINS FROM COAL DEPOSITS IN SYNTHETIC ZEOLITE PRODUCTION
Kutlu, Burak Temel; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-8-29)
Kaolin is a mineral with industrial value and can be used as a raw material in different areas. In most uses, pure quality kaolin is required. However, not all the kaolin occurrences are pure as much as needed and additional processes are applied before use. Nevertheless, some occurrences are accepted as gangue material due to their poor quality and low reserve. Kaolin-rich layers are widespread in coal deposits, but their quality is low. The presence of clay-rich layers with kaolin content in coal deposits...
Recovery of germanium and other valuable metals from zinc plant residues
Kul, A.; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01)
The main purpose of this study was to characterize and to extract germanium from the copper cake of Cinkur Zinc Plant. The physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of the ground copper cake sample obtained from Cinkur showed that it was 84% below 147 pin containing 700 ppm germanium. The copper cake also contained 15.33% Cu, 15.63% Zn, 1.66% Cd, 1.33% Ni, 0.64% Co, 0.35% Fe, 2.62% Pb, 12.6% As, 0.18% Sb and 3.42% SiO2. The mineralogical analysis indicated the complex nature of the copper cake w...
Synthesis of tin oxide-coated gold nanostars and evaluation of their surface-enhanced Raman scattering activities
Elcı, Aylin; Demırtas, Ozge; Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Bek, Alpan; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2018-12-01)
Tin oxide-coated gold nanostar hybrid nanostructures are prepared by first synthesizing gold nanostars (ca. 400nm), then introducing Na2SnO3 precursor followed by its hydrolysis and formation of a tin oxide layer on nanoparticle surface. The synthesized hybrid structures have been characterized by combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray studies, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectr...
Enhancement of storage stability of wheat germ oil by encapsulation
KARADENIZ, Meltem; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2018-04-01)
Wheat germ oil which is a rich source of a-tocopherol is susceptible to oxidation. The main objective of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil to enhance its oxidation stability. It was also aimed to investigate the effects of different homogenization methods on physicochemical properties and storage stability of encapsulated wheat germ oil. As homogenization methods, silent crusher (SC), microfluidization (MF) and ultrasonication (US) were used. SC and MF techniques created more stable emulsions tha...
