The spent pickle liquor contains the dissolved metal salts of iron, chrome, copper, nickel and zinc [1]. The acid can be cleaned from its impurities, except for its copper ion, by the regeneration process. When the copper concentration of the pickling solution exceeds the level of about 100 ppm, the copper inside the solution replaces the iron in the steel and copper starts plating randomly on the metal surface in the following pickling processes. Because of the plating problem, the acid needs to be discard from the acid line. By adding fresh acid to the line the discarding can be delayed [2]. An electrochemical procedure was conducted to overcome the cementation problem experimentally in an environmental and economical way. Electrowinning of dilute copper from strong acid solution is a challenge in this case so the optimum current density, electrolysis duration and the electrode materials were determined in this study. It was found that increase in the current density and electrolysis duration increases the copper removal, but changes the morphology of deposits. A slower compact deposition procedure was selected to achieve continuous removal of copper instead of faster discontinuous powder deposition from the regenerated pickling solutions of steel plants.

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...
Cyanide leaching behavior of an arsenic rich refractory gold ore Büyüktanır, Karden; Altun, Naci Emre; Department of Mining Engineering (2017) In this work, the possibility of gold extraction using cyanide leaching from a refractory type gold ore, particularly rich in arsenic minerals of realgar and orpiment, was assessed. In this regard, the effectiveness of the cyanide leaching process on the ore was determined using bottle-roll leaching tests with respect to cyanide amount, cyanidation period, and particle size. In the study, Bottle Roll Tests were carried out at first in order to determine cyanide consumption tendency of the ore, with an ore w...
Electrochemical investigation of copper-DTPI interactions Hicyilmaz, C; Altun, Naci Emre (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-05-01) The electrochemical behavior of copper in the absence and presence of a dithiophosphinate type collector, sodium diisobuthyldithiophosphinate (NaDTPI), was determined to investigate the interactions between a copper surface and NaDTPI as a function of pulp potential (Eh) and pH. The electrochemical studies were performed by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) in the -355 to +1550 mV (SHE) potential range and at different pHs from slightly acidic to strongly alkaline conditions. The electrochemical studies were carried ...
Synthesis of tin oxide-coated gold nanostars and evaluation of their surface-enhanced Raman scattering activities Elcı, Aylin; Demırtas, Ozge; Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Bek, Alpan; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2018-12-01) Tin oxide-coated gold nanostar hybrid nanostructures are prepared by first synthesizing gold nanostars (ca. 400nm), then introducing Na2SnO3 precursor followed by its hydrolysis and formation of a tin oxide layer on nanoparticle surface. The synthesized hybrid structures have been characterized by combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray studies, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectr...
