An approach that facilitates the mineralogical-compositional analysis and beneficiation-classification procedure was used for fast assessment of the evaluation possibility of kaolin deposits. The approach was applied on two different kaolin deposits from the Aegean region in Turkey. The kaolin samples were characterized using XRD and XRF analyses to determine the key mineralogical characteristics and major components such as Al2O3. The samples were then subjected to the attrition-scrubbing-hydrocycloning procedure to identify the -2 mu m matter yielding potential and undesired +10 mu m particle contents. Through this fast methodology, it was found that Al2O3 content of both deposits were below the acceptable limits and both reserves consisted of alunite as an undesired component in kaolin. The XRD analysis of attrition scrubbing-hydrocycloning products showed the cyclone overflow fractions, which were relatively finer in size, were enriched in terms of kaolinite content. The extent of +10 mu m particles in the cyclone overflows was within acceptable limits for both deposits. However, the critical -2 mu m matter content was found to be extremely low in the cyclone overflows. The findings confirmed the benefit of this fast methodology to make a quick decision regarding the potential of any kaolin deposit: whether to eithr continue with further verifications through specific tests/analyses or to end the assessment in case of an unpromising deposits, as those investigated in this work.

Optimal Liquidation with Conditions on Minimum Price Mervan, Aksu; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-9-1) The classical optimal trading problem is the closure of an initial position q_0 in a financial asset over a time interval [0 T]; the trader tries to maximize an expected utility under the constraint q_T = 0, which is the liquidation constraint. Given that the trading takes place in a stochastic environment, the constraint q_T=0 may be too restrictive; the trader may want to relax this constraint or slow down/stop trading depending on price behavior. The goal of this thesis is the formulation and a study of ...
Solution of the Almgren-Chriss model with quadratic market volume via special functions Ertürk, Eren; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020-9) One of the current topics of research in mathematical finance is the scheduling of buy or sell orders to liquidate a position. A well-known framework for this problem is the one proposed by Almgren and Chriss that poses the problem as the maximization of the expected utility of the final terminal wealth. In the simplest formulation of the problem the market trading volume is taken as a constant. Under this and other assumptions an optimal trading curve can be computed in terms of the sinh function. This stu...

Development of a risk management decision support system for intarnational construction projects Arıkan, Arif Erdem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) It is agreed upon by many researchers that, although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to risk management concept and the number of risk management support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. In order to facilitate risk management activities, decision support tools that will enable risk identification, analysis and response strategy formulation should be de...
Assessment of soda ash calcination treatment of Turkish trona ore Gezer, Sibel; Atalay, Umit (2016) Trona is relatively rare, non-metallic mineral, Na2CO3 center dot NaHCO3 center dot 2H(2)O. The pure material contains 70.3% sodium carbonate and by calcination the excess CO2 and water can be driven off, yielding natural soda ash. The terms soda ash and sodium carbonate are used interchangeably. Trona calcining is a key process step in production of soda ash (sodium carbonate anhydrate) from the relatively cheap trona ore. The calcination reaction may proceeds in a sequence of steps. Depending on the condi...
