In this study, the crystallization of scandium from ammonium fluoride strip liquor, obtained by solvent extraction, was investigated using an anti-solvent crystallization technique. Acetone, ethanol, methanol and isopropanol were added individually to the strip liquor as the anti-solvent and scandium was precipitated and obtained in the form of (NH4)(3)ScF6 crystals. The results show that scandium can be effectively crystallized from the strip liquor to obtain an intermediate, marketable scandium product. Yields greater than 98% were obtained using an anti-solvent to strip liquor volumetric ratio of 0.8. Acetone had the least performance at lower anti-solvent to strip liquor volumetric ratios, possibly due to its limited H bonding capability with water molecules when compared to alcohols.

Cellulose membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration Sukma, F. M.; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep (2018-01-01) Cellulose membranes were fabricated by phase inversion from solutions of cellulose in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM] OAc) as solvent and acetone as volatile cosolvent. The rejection of Bromothymol Blue ( 624 Da) in ethanol increased and the permeance decreased by increasing the cellulose concentration in the solution prior to coagulation, either by having more cellulose in the starting solution or by evaporating the volatile cosolvent. Drying the membranes after coagulation further increased th...

Methylene Blue Degradation on Praseodymium-Doped Titanium Dioxide Photocatalyst Dogu, Doruk; Karakaş, Gürkan (Journal of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Gazi University, 2020-01-01) In this study, the effects of the praseodymium doping and calcination temperature for titania based catalysts synthesized using a sol-gel method on the photocatalytic methylene blue degradation reaction were investigated. Doping TiO2 with 1% Pr stabilizes the anatase crystal structure by inhibiting anatase to rutile transformation, increases surface area, and light absorption capability [1]. Besides the Pr doping, effect of calcination temperature on the methylene blue degradation was investigated both with...
Investigation of single-walled carbon nanotube growth parameters using alcohol catalytic chemical vapour deposition Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2005-10-01) A detailed parametric study of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) synthesized in powder form and on substrates using the alcohol catalytic chemical vapour deposition (ACCVD) method is reported. As-grown SWNTs were analysed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy to obtain structural and electronic information. We found that nucleation and growth of SWNTs occurs within seconds after introduction of ...
Effect of welding parameters on the susceptibility to hydrogen cracking in line pipe steels in sour environments Yavaş, Özgür; Doruk, Mustafa; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2006) In this study, hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) behavior of welded steels used in petroleum lines under sour petroleum environments was investigated. The testing environment in NACE TM0284-2003 standard was used in order to simulate sour petroleum environment. In order to investigate behavior of welding parameters, used in pipe production, on HIC, welds were done with different line energies. Two different API X-65 steels were used in welding operations. The specimens taken from welded zones were tested in t...
