Drying, calcination, prereduction, and smelting are the main steps in conventional crude ferronickel production. Industrially, these steps are conducted using the rotary kiln-electric arc furnace (RKEF) process. In this paper, calcination characteristics of Sivrihisar laterite ores from the Central Anatolia region are investigated. The extent of elimination of chemically bound water and other volatiles was studied by experiments conducted at various temperatures in the 250-800 degrees C range. Phase changes were examined using X-ray diffractometry. For the particle size used in the study, 300 degrees C was determined to be almost sufficient for complete transformation of goethite to haematite, and 700 degrees C was required for effective elimination of all volatiles in the ore.

STUDY OF CERTAIN PARAMETERS IN LABORATORY-SCALE SMELTING OF SIVRIHISAR LATERITE ORES OF TURKEY KESKİNKILIÇ, ENDER; Pournaderi, Saeid; Geveci, Ahmet; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (2012-03-15) Conventional ferronickel smelting has five main steps: Drying, calcination, prereduction, smelting and refining. In the scope of the current work, smelting experiments were conducted using Sivrihisar laterite ores (1.26% Ni) of Turkey. The ore samples previously subjected to drying, calcination and prereduction stages were smelted in alumina crucibles in a laboratoryscale horizontal tube furnace under argon atmosphere. Smelting experiments were performed at 1500, 1550 and 1600 degrees C. The amount of exces...
Pressure leaching of Sivrihisar-Yunus Emre nickel laterites Seçen, Berk; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011) The aim of this thesis study was to extract nickel and cobalt from Sivrihisar limonitic nickel laterite ore by high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) method under most economical operating parameters. Optimizing the conditions to yield a saleable quality mixed hydroxide product from the pregnant leach solution (PLS) was also investigated. To extract high amounts of nickel and cobalt from the laterite matrix; leaching duration, leaching temperature and sulfuric acid/ore ratio were studied at fixed conditions of ...
Gold cyanide adsorption characteristics of activated carbon of non-coconut shell origin Yalcin, M; Arol, Ali İhsan (2002-02-01) Coconut shells are the most widely used raw material for the production of activated carbon suitable for gold production by cyanide leaching. However, increasing gold production is likely to necessitate the exploitation of other sources. Abundance and ready availability of hazelnut shells, apricot and peach stones make them a viable candidate for an alternative source. In this study, activated carbons made of these materials have been tested to determine their suitability for gold metallurgy. Parameters of ...
Laboratory production of calcium sulfoaluminate cements with high industrial waste content Canbek, Ogulcan; Shakouri, Sahra; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) A drawback of conventional calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement production is the use of the costly raw material bauxite as a source of alumina to form the main clinker phase ye'elimite. Replacement of bauxite with industrial wastes can benefit CSA cements economically and environmentally. This study demonstrates the use of high amounts of red mud, a sulfate-rich/high-lime fly ash, and desulfogypsum as raw materials in producing CSA clinkers and cements with better mechanical performances than an all-natural...
Nickel resource setimation and reconciliation at Türkmençardağı laterite deposits Gençtürk, Bilgehan; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2012) In recent years nickel is mostly produced from lateritic ore deposits such as nontronite, limonite, etc. Resource estimation is difficult for laterite deposits as they have a weak and heterogeneous form. 3D modeling software are rather suitable for deposits having tabular or vein type ores. In this study the most appropriate estimation technique for resource estimation of nickel laterite deposits was investigated. One of the known nickel laterite deposits in Turkey is located at Türkmençardağı - Gördes regi...
