In this study, the rheological characteristics of asphaltite- water slurries ( AWSs) were investigated with respect to some of the most important parameters in the preparation of slurries. The effects of pulp density, chemical addition, pulp pH, and particle size on the rheological behavior and viscosity of AWSs were studied. The role of demineralization of asphaltite was also investigated, and rheological properties of raw and relatively demineralized asphaltites were compared. Results showed that viscosity of the AWSs was negatively influenced by increases in the pulp density and as the mean particle size decreased from 104.81 to 15.39 Am. Increases in pH provided reduced viscosity values. The effects of dispersing and stabilizing agents were studied with a chemical mixture including 90% polystyrene sulfonate ( PSS) as the dispersant and 10% Na- carboxylmethylcellulose ( Na- CMC) as the stabilizer. The change in the viscosity was also investigated as a function of the dosage of the chemical mixture used. Minimum viscosity was achieved with a 1.1% chemical mixture addition, while excess dosages resulted in adverse effects and thickening of the slurry. Studies with raw and demineralized samples showed that mineral matter and hydrophobic aggregation of particles are critical factors, significantly affecting the rheological characteristics of AWSs.

Rheological and thermal analysis of bentonites for water base drilling fluids Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2004-02-01) The objective of this research is to investigate the rheological and thermal properties of bentonites for water base drilling fluids. Rheological experiments were performed with 4 different bentonite samples and clay percentages, cation-exchange capacity (CEC), swelling volume, pH, and physical and rheological properties of the samples are determined. The thermal behaviors of bentonite samples were investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. ...
Rheological behavior of bentonite suspensions Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Gücüyener, Hakkı (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01) The objective of this research is to investigate the concentration effect on the rheological properties of different bentonite suspensions. Experiments were performed with different bentonite type and concentrations and the results were evaluated by different rheological models (Bingham plastic, Power law, Sisco, Casson, Herchel Bulkley and Robertson Stiff) describing the flow of non-Newtonian fluids by mathematical equations in terms of shear rate and shear stress.
Thermogravimetry of selected bentonites Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2002-10-01) In this research the application of thermal analysis techniques (TG-DTA) to the characterization of bentonite samples is presented. The thermal behavior of 4 bentonite samples was investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. It was observed that all bentonite samples exhibit 2 weight loss events on heating. The first weight loss event corresponds to the loss of molecular water from the exchange layer, whereas the second weight loss event corre...
Improvements on combustion properties of asphaltite and correlation of activation energies with combustion results Hicyilmaz, C; Altun, Naci Emre (Elsevier BV, 2006-06-01) Processing of Sirnak Asphaltite sample by gravity and flotation concentration methods was investigated to decrease its ash content. Finely disseminated inorganic constituents of asphaltite revealed the difficulty of operation. Ash content of asphaltite was reduced from 44.86% to 31.44% by gravity concentration method with a 75% combustible recovery. On the other hand, it was possible to reduce ash content to 24% by flotation with almost same combustible recovery. Combustion characterization of raw and impro...
Reservoir analysis by well log data Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Ersoy, Gizem (Informa UK Limited, 2005-04-01) The aim of this research is to describe and characterize the reservoir sections by well log data. Well logs are used to examine the porosity, water saturation and true resistivity properties of the reservoir. Throughout the project, the data is processed using geostatistical tests that are frequency, histograms, auto-correlation, cross-correlations, linear and multiple regression analysis to find the relations between the variables. Statistical analyses are performed using SPSS software. From the output of ...
