The irreducible equilibrium saturation and dewatering kinetics of vacuum-dewatered filter cakes are studied. Limitations of available empirical correlations for cake dewatering characteristics are presented. The mechanisms of air displacement dewatering are delineated as no-air-flow and air-flow dewatering regimes, and new nondimensional groups combining the pertinent parameters in each regime are proposed for correlating the equilibrium saturation. On the basis of the capillary flow dynamics, a nondimensional group is formulated for the correlation of dewatering kinetics in the absence of air flow rate data. The correlations are verified with the experimental data obtained from the filtration of hematite slurries and an empirical equation based on the same data is suggested for equilibrium saturation predictions.

Numerical analysis of natural convective heat transfer through porous medium Aylangan, Benan; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) In this thesis, natural convective heat transfer through an impermeable and fluid saturated porous medium is investigated numerically. A FORTRAN based code is developed and used in order to present the outputs of the applied model and the assumptions. The solutions of flow fields and temperature fields are presented within the medium. Moreover, Nusselt number variations for different values of Darcy, Prandtl, and Rayleigh numbers, and some other thermodynamic properties are investigated and presented. Compa...
Adsorption of dithiophosphate and dithiophosphinate on chalcopyrite Guler, T; Hicyilmaz, C; Gokagac, G; Ekmeci, Z (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Electrochemical behavior of chalcopyrite was investigated in the absence and presence of dithiophosphate (DTP) and dithiophosphinate (DTPI), selective thiols against Fe-sulfides in the flotation of sulfide ores, in potentiostatically controlled electrochemical condition. Diffuse reflectance Fourier transformation (DRIFT) spectroscopy was applied to determine the type of adsorbed collector species, and Hallimond tube flotation tests were performed to clarify the role of polarization potential and thiol colle...
Enhancement of biodegradability by continuous ozonation in Acid Red-151 solutions and kinetic modeling Gokcen, F; Ozbelge, TA (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-15) In this work, continuous ozonation of aqueous Acid Red-151 was performed in a stirred tank reactor at neutral pH and 25 degrees C. The results show that ozonation is capable of a rapid conversion of the Acid Red-151 dye molecule to more biodegradable intermediates up to the ozonation time of 120 min at which the optimum BOD5/COD ratio is obtained. The peak BOD5/COD ratios were found to be in the range of 0.028-0.35 for the initial dye concentrations being in the range of 1000-100 mg/L, respectively.
CAKE FILTRATION-RATE EQUATIONS - A REVIEW OF CLASSICAL AND MODERN APPROACHES Hoşten, Çetin (Elsevier BV, 1993-07-01) Fundamental concepts of cake filtration - cake compressibility, liquid drag-pressure drop relationships, average porosity, and external mass balance - are presented. Two distinct approaches to the formulation of cake filtration rate, the classical and the modern theories, are critically reviewed. The definition of average specific cake resistance is re-examined. The equivalent specific cake resistance for a compressible cake is shown to be the harmonic mean of local specific cake resistances. Weaknesses of ...
Quantifying hydrophobicity of pyrite after copper activation and DTPI addition under electrochemically controlled conditions Hicyilmaz, C; Altun, Naci Emre; Ekmekci, Z; Gokagac, G (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01) In this study, the response of the surface of pyrite to copper activation under electrochemically controlled conditions was investigated in the presence and absence of sodium diisobutyl dithiophosphinate (DTPI). The mechanism of interactions between the concerned reagents and pyrite was investigated using cyclic voltarnmetry in solutions of different pH. In addition, contact angle measurements were performed to determine the wetting behavior of the pyrite surface as a function of pulp potential and pH. The ...
