Surface behavior of the commonly found minerals in nickel laterite ores - quartz, magnetite, hematite and goethite was investigated using electroacoustic measurements. The goal was to assess the surface potentials as single minerals and in mixed systems to understand possible interactions between particles in laterite slurries. Surface potentials were evaluated according to the electroacoustic theory with the understanding that a direct relationship existed between zeta potential and electroacoustic sonic amplitude (ESA) values. Results were evaluated using Bruinsma's equations. Measured (actual) and calculated ESA values were compared to determine whether the mixed systems remained dispersed or a tendency towards heterocoagulation existed over a range of pHs. For all mixed systems the behavior of the system was affected by the mineral of higher proportion in the mixture. For the fine quartz-magnetite system, no heterocoagulation was observed at all proportions of quartz and magnetite over the entire pH range. In the fine quartz-hematite and fine quartz-goethite systems a tendency towards heterocoagulation was observed with increase in quartz. The effect of the particle size was also investigated using coarse quartz-magnetite mixtures. A higher tendency towards heterocoagulation was observed with coarser quartz. The amount of quartz was found critical for the rheology of laterite slurries, determining the state of dispersion and/or heterocoagulation in the slurry.

ELECTROKINETICS OF OXIDIZED COAL
SARIKAYA, M; OZBAYOGLU, G (Elsevier BV; 1990-01-01)
Electrokinetic measurements were carried out in order to determine the properties of oxidized coal surfaces over a wide pH range both in the presence and absence of various metal ions and flotation collectors. It was found that polyvalent cations, such as Fe++, Fe+++ and Al+++ decreased the zeta potential to zero and then reversed the charge. In the presence of cationic collectors, the negative value of zeta potential of oxidized coal was driven positive, below 9.3 to 10.9 depending on the type and concentr...
Optical characterization of Ga2SeS layered crystals by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry
IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-07-10)
Optical properties of Ga2SeS crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by transmission, reflection and ellipsometry measurements. Analysis of the transmission and reflection measurements performed in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm at room temperature indicated the presence of indirect and direct transitions with 2.28 eV and 2.38 eV band gap energies. Ellipsometry measurements were carried out in the 1.2-6.0 eV spectral region to get information about optical constants, real and imaginary part...
EVALUATION OF LOW GRADE IRON ORE DEPOSIT IN ERZINCAN-TURKEY FOR IRON ORE PELLET CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION
SİVRİKAYA, OSMAN; Arol, Ali İhsan (2012-01-01)
In this study the separation possibility of gangue minerals from a low grade magnetite ore with 45% Fe from an iron ore deposit located near Erzincan-Turkey was investigated. The iron ore deposit consists of mainly magnetite mineral. Hematite is the second iron oxide found in the deposit. The gangue minerals contain mainly SiO2 and Al2O3 impurities. The main object of the research is to investigate the production of a concentrate suitable for iron ore pellet production. The concentrate for pellet production...

Optical properties of CuIn5S8 crystals grown by Bridgman method were investigated by ellipsometry measurements. Spectral dependence of optical parameters; real and imaginary parts of the pseudodielectric function, pseudorefractive index, pseudoextinction coefficient, reflectivity and absorption coefficients were obtained from the analysis of ellipsometry experiments performed in the 1.2-6.2 eV spectral region. Analysis of spectral dependence of the absorption coefficient revealed the existence of direct ban...

The crystal structure, temperature-dependent electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, current-voltage characteristics, absorption spectra and temperature- and illumination-dependent photoconductivity of Tl3InSe4 single crystals were investigated. Tl3InSe4 crystallises in a body-centred lattice with tetragonal symmetry and belongs to the space group [image omitted]. The crystals are extrinsic p-type semiconductors and exhibit a conductivity conversion from p- to n-type at a critical temperature, Tc, of 283...
