Demineralization of Sirnak asphaltite by flotation method was investigated. The effect of different parameters on the process such as particle size, collector type and amount, pH, pulp density, flotation time and cleaning of rougher flotation product was studied. Treatment with collector Accoal 18 (Cytec Ind. Inc.) at natural pH gave the highest recovery of combustibles and low ash yield. Flotation at pulp density 10% solid by weight and 2-min residence time gave the best result. As a result of single-stage flotation, ash content of asphaltite was reduced from 44.86 to 24.58%, and 71% of combustibles were recovered. Total sulfur content was reduced from 5.53 to 1.89%, and activation energy from 46.76 to 29.84 kJ/mol, respectively. Calorific value of asphaltite was increased from 4,380 to 6,070 kcal/kg.

Stability analyses of the dump site culvert in Tınaz surface mine Özcan, Ömer Can; Ünal, Erdal; Department of Mining Engineering (2003) In this thesis, studies associated with the stability analyses of the box-shaped dump-site culvert constructed in Tınaz Surface Mine of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) are presented. In addition, stability conditions of other culvert alternatives are evaluated. Existence of creeks in a surface mining area is a significant factor to be considered in selection of dump-site location. Since, the dumped overburden material on the valley acts as a barrier and behaves like a dam causing flood problem behind the dum...
Thermal characterization and gasification kinetics of thrace-saray region coal Yıldırım, Betül; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015) In this thesis being up as-received and washed and dried, two different coal samples from Saray-Edirkoy field were experimented in order to determine effects of different variables as coal type, heating rate, gas flow rate, isothermal duration, gasifying medium, and final gasification temperature, on isothermal gasification profiles of the coal samples. In the scope of this study, heating rate was changed in the range of 20-50oC/min as 20, 30, 40 and 50oC/min whereas two different gas flow rate values as 60...
Deactivation model for textural effects on kinetics of gas-solid noncatalytic reactions ''char gasification with CO2'' Yasyerli, N; Doğu, Timur; Dogu, G; Ar, I (1996-06-01) Variation of the reactivity of a solid reactant due to changes in number of working active sites and pore structure was represented by a deactivation model. The model was shown to give good aggreement with the experimental data obtained for the gasification of chars of different lignites. All the kinetic data obtained at different temperatures (800 degrees-950 degrees C) and also for different types of coals were represented with a single generalized relation. The increase of the surface area of the char at...
Pseudo Dynamic Testing of an RC Frame Retrofitted with Chevron Braces ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür (2012-01-01) Two-story three-bay reinforced concrete frames with and without chevron brace was tested using pseudo dynamic test method. The chevron braces were implemented to the interior span of the RC frame. Chevron-braced frame was observed to be effective to control inter-story drift demands. Based on the observed damage state and dynamic response of the test frames, performance states were discussed for different scales of Duzce ground motions. The test results were compared with the results of the nonlinear time h...
Environmental applications of hyperspectral anomaly and target detection algorithms Soydan, Hilal; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2017) The objective of this thesis study is to understand the capacity of hyperspectral anomaly detection and target detection algorithms for contamination mapping, with a focus on developing a new methodology for environmental problems related to coal mining operations. Considering the data availability, specific chemical structure and reflectance properties as well as being one of the common contaminants in mining operations, hydrocarbon induced problems are studied for water and soil medium separately. Having ...
