The effects of temperature, concentration of caustic soda and liquid to solid ratio on hydrothermal treatment of perlite with caustic solution to produce metal silicate solutions were investigated. The reaction was carried out in laboratory autoclave of 1 L capacity over a range of experimental conditions. The treatment time was kept constant at I hour. The chemical compositions of liquid products were analyzed by standard wet chemical methods. The results indicated that, under favorable conditions, aqueous metal silicate solutions with a high yield of about 80 percent, and having SiO2/Na2O molar ratios of 0.6 to 1 can be produced by this method.

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of gold by vapor formation and in situ trapping in graphite tubes
Ertaş, Gülay; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2004-10-01)
Gold was determined in ore samples following generation, separation, collection on a graphite cuvette inner wall, and atomization of its volatile species formed by combining an acidified sample solution with an aqueous sodium tetrahydroborate solution at room temperature. A detection limit of 2.6 mug L-1 (3sigma) was obtained with a 5.0 mL sample volume. Precision of replicate measurements was typically 10% RSD. The overall efficiency of the volatile species generation, transport, and trapping process was 0...
Hydrothermal zinc oxide nanowire growth using zinc acetate dihydrate salt
AKGUN, Mehmet Can; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2012-06-01)
Hydrothermal approach is widely used for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, zinc acetate and zinc chloride are three common salts that are used for synthesis. Among these, zinc nitrate hexahydrate is primarily used in many studies and zinc chloride is preferred for electrodeposition. In this work, zinc acetate dihydrate salt is used for the growth of ZnO nanowires and the effects of time, temperature, solution concentration and concentration ratios of the precursor chemic...
Production of silica fume-based geopolymeric foam
Shakouri, Sahra; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
This study investigates the activation of silica fume powder with sodium hydroxide solutions, to produce foamy geopolymeric material. The powder was mixed with NaOH solutions of different concentration, at different solution-to-powder ratios and cured at 100 °C for different length of time. Upon to heating to 200-500 °C, a volume expansion up to 10 times of the initial paste volume took palace, and a porous structure resulted. Ground perlite, expanded perlite and basalt fibers were tested as additives to th...
Effects of silica nanoparticles on the performance of water-based drilling fluids
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bal, Berk (2019-09-01)
In this research, two groups of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles on the filtration and rheological properties of water-based drilling fluids. In the first group, bentonite, chrome-free lignosulfonate (CFL) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were used in different concentrations to obtain base fluids. Nanofluids were prepared by adding 0.5 g of four different silica nanoparticles into these drilling fluids. Comparison of rheological properties, fluid loss am...
High pressure acid leaching of a refractory lateritic nickel ore
MUTLU KAYA, SEVCAN; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (2011-09-01)
This paper describes the experimental findings of the extraction of nickel and cobalt by high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) of a refractory limonitic nickel laterite ore from the Gordes region of Manisa in Turkey. By optimizing the basic HPAL process parameters: leaching at 255 degrees C with 0.30 sulfuric acid to ore weight ratio with a particle size of 100%-850 mu for 1 h of leaching, it was found that 87.3% of nickel and 88.8% of cobalt present in the ore could be extracted into the pregnant leach soluti...
