Scandium is one of the most important and strategic metals that can be recovered as a by-product from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores. In this research, different extractants were investigated to extract scandium from sulphate medium by using solvent extraction method. Generally, the organic extractants are classified as acidic, neutral and basic reagents. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare scandium extraction efficiencies of some acidic, neutral and basic organic reagents. For this reason, Ionquest 290 (Bis(2,4,4-trimethylpenthyl) phosphonic acid), DEHPA (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid), Cyanex 272 ((Bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid) which are acidic organophosphorus compounds, Cyanex 923 (Trialkyl phosphine oxide), which is a neutral organophosphorus compound, and Primene JMT, a basic extractant, were used. The extraction efficiencies of these extractants were studied with respect to the extractant concentration at the same pH and O/A (organic/aqueous) phase ratio. As a result of this study, DEHPA and Primene JMT were found to have high scandium extraction efficiencies with lower impurity co-extractions at pH=0.55 with O/A phase ratio 1/1.

Solvent extraction of scandium from lateritic nickel- cobalt ores using different organic reagents Ferizoglu, Ece; Kaya, Serap; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (2016-09-28) Scandium is the most important and strategic metal that can be recovered as a by-product from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores. In this research, different extractants were investigated in order to extract scandium from a sulfate medium by a using a solvent extraction method. Generally, the organic extractants are classified as acidic, neutral and basic organophosphorus compounds. However, in solvent extraction of scandium, the acidic and neutral organophosphorus compounds are preferred due to their higher extr...
Solvent extraction of scandium from pregnant leach solution of nickel laterites Ferizoğlu, Ece; Gürbüz, Rıza; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) The aim of this thesis study is the extraction and recovery of scandium from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores by using the solvent extraction method. In this study, different organic and scrubbing reagents were investigated in order to find the most suitable organic extractant for the extraction of scandium with low impurity co-extraction and scrubbing reagent to remove the extracted impurities from the loaded organic phase. In the first part, different organic reagents that are DEHPA, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 923, I...
Metal Oxides Supported Cobalt nanoparticles: Active Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Akbayrak, Merve (2021-08-01) Besides precious metal oxides, non-noble metal oxides are found to be promising materials especially, in the alkaline medium for OER. In this work, Co/MO 2 (M = Ti, Zr, and Ce) catalysts were synthesized with- out using any harsh steps such as pyrolization, annealing, calcination, and carbonization. Cobalt nanopar- ticles with ∼2.6 nm particle size were loaded on metal oxides by simple impregnation and reduction method. Considering the low onset and overpotential values, low Tafel slopes, high exchange curr...
Single and multicomponent ion exchange of silver, zinc and copper on zeolite 4a Ay, Hale; Yücel, Hayrettin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008) Ion exchange of heavy metals with zeolites is important in terms of different application areas. Industrial wastewater treatment and antibacterial applications are two essential areas that have taken great attention. While silver, zinc and copper are well known for their toxicity, they are also used as antibacterial agents in zeolites. The objective of this study is to investigate the single and multicomponent ion exchange behavior of zeolite 4A for silver, zinc, copper and sodium ions. For this purpose Ag+...
Use of waste pyrite from mineral processing plants in soil remediation Aydın, Gülşen; Arol, Ali İhsan; Department of Mining Engineering (2011) Pyrite (FeS2) is commonly present in complex sulphide ores in significant amounts. After the enrichment of such ores by flotation, pyrite is either produced as a separate concentrate and sold to acid manufactures or removed and disposed off as tailing. Due to lack of demand from manufacturers, most of pyrites is usually disposed off as tailing. Therefore, pyrite is usually a waste from complex sulphide ores. Yet, it may be a remediation additive for calcareous soils and calcareous- alkali soils deficient in...
