Many studies investigated the effects of grinding aids on mechanical and breakage properties of particles, as well as the flowability of ore-water slurries in wet grinding mills. Only recently, it was showed that grinding aids can promote grain-boundary fracturing. This paper aims to observe the effects of water pretreatment on chromite liberation, to underlie some reactions between water and chromite samples which promote the liberation of coarse chromite grains, i.e. the grain-boundary fracturing. For the purpose of this study, two different chromite ore samples were initially pretreated under water at different sets of pH, temperature and pretreatment time. Then, the untreated and pretreated samples were broken in a drop-weight tester (J/g). Finally, the grade-recovery plots in the selected progeny size fractions of the untreated and pretreated samples were compared. The results show that the hydrolysis of ore samples in 15 min of pretreatment improves the grain-boundary fracturing. The results also suggest that mineral carbonation may be beneficial for chromite liberation.

Pressure acid leaching of Caldag lateritic nickel ore: An alternative to heap leaching Onal, Mehmet Ali Recai; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-01) In this study, the leachability of Caldag lateritic nickel ore under high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) conditions was investigated. Several HPAL parameters were tested in a comparative manner since in many cases, the extraction efficiencies of Caldag ore sample were more than 90% for nickel and cobalt. After the optimization of the process parameters, it was found that 94.1% nickel and 94.0% cobalt could be extracted under the conditions of 325 kg sulfuric acid/tonne of dry ore, 250 degrees C leaching temp...
Recovery of germanium and other valuable metals from zinc plant residues Kul, A.; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) The main purpose of this study was to characterize and to extract germanium from the copper cake of Cinkur Zinc Plant. The physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of the ground copper cake sample obtained from Cinkur showed that it was 84% below 147 pin containing 700 ppm germanium. The copper cake also contained 15.33% Cu, 15.63% Zn, 1.66% Cd, 1.33% Ni, 0.64% Co, 0.35% Fe, 2.62% Pb, 12.6% As, 0.18% Sb and 3.42% SiO2. The mineralogical analysis indicated the complex nature of the copper cake w...
Investigating the formation of intermetallic compounds during friction stir welding of magnesium alloy to aluminum alloy in air and under liquid nitrogen Mofid, M. A.; Abdollah-zadeh, A.; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-03-01) This research demonstrates the use of submerged friction stir welding under liquid nitrogen as an alternative and improved method for creating fine-grained welds, and hence, to alleviate formation of intermetallic phases. Magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy were joined by friction stir welding in two environments, namely air and liquid nitrogen, with 400 rpm rotation and 50 mm/min travel speed. The temperature profile, microstructure, scanning electron microscope energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis...
Utilisation of waste marble dust for improved durability and cost efficiency of pozzolanic concrete Ince, Ceren; Hamza, Ali; Derogar, Shahram; Ball, Richard James (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01) This study demonstrates that the incorporation of waste marble dust to pozzolanic concrete improves the long-term mechanical properties and durability characteristics. A comprehensive study utilising specimens containing a cement and silica fume binder were manufactured with incremental levels of marble dust fine aggregate. Important physical properties including compressive strength, water penetration depth, porosity, resistance to sulphate attack and resistance to freeze/thaw cycling were evaluated over a...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FATIGUE DAMAGE ACCUMULATION IN 1100-AL ALLOY BILIR, OG (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) The cumulative fatigue damage characteristics of 1100 Al alloy were studied to gain a better understanding of the effects of the loading sequence, the percentage of initial applied load cycles and the stress ratio.
