The objective of this study was to characterize the weathering behavior of select samples from the non acid producing waste rock materials at the Antamina mine using field cell tests and laboratory scale sequential extraction tests. Field cell results have indicated the release of metals, particularly arsenic and zinc, under neutral pH conditions. Sequential extraction and mineralogical characterization tests have demonstrated that carbonate dissolution under acidic conditions may be a significant source of leached metals. Comparison of field cell and sequential extraction tests demonstrated that solid phase metal content and leachate metal concentration are not necessarily correlated: a high metal content in the solid phase does not imply high concentrations in the leachate, and conversely, relatively low levels of metal in the solid phase can result in significant metal release. The observed field cell behavior can be explained by differences in the mineralogical forms of the metals.

Evaluation of adsorbents with passive sampling and their analytical methods to determine volatile organic compounds emitted from vehicular exhaust
CİVAN, MİHRİBAN; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2012-04-01)
In order to accurate and precise determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from vehicular emissions were developed method including a) adsorption of VOCs on different adsorbents followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID) quantification, b) validation of the sampling and analytical method. The adsorption efficiency of Tenax and Chromosorb 106 adsorbents were eveluated for 104 VOCs to select of adequate sorbent for passive sampling. Since most of t...

Investigation of extraction methodologies for quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments
Topal, Tansel; Tuncel, Semra G.; Department of Chemistry (2011)
The extraction procedures for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations in sediment samples had been developed by using GC-FID and GC-MS. The optimized methods were soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic bath extraction and solid phase micro extraction (SPME). In order to search out the main factors affecting extraction efficiencies of the methods, factorial design was used. The best extraction method was chosen and optimum values for main factors were selected for the development o...
Experimental and numerical investigations for mechanical and microstructural characterization of micro-manufactured AZ91D magnesium alloy disks for biomedical applications
Kayhan, Said Murat; TAHMASEBİFAR, Aydin; KOÇ, Muammer; Usta, Yusuf; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer (2016-03-05)
In this study, the microstructure, mechanical and biological properties of the Mg-based implant samples prepared by the combination of micro-manufacturing and powder metallurgy route were investigated. Porous AZ91D Mg alloy disks with smooth and textured surfaces were manufactured under compaction pressures of 25 and 40 MPa at 150 degrees C and under sintering conditions of 380 degrees C for 30 and 150 min. The phase changes and microstructure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron (...
Improving the Recovery of Phenolic Compounds from Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) by Environmentally Friendly Extraction Techniques
Okur, İlhami; Söyler, Ulviye Betül; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami (MDPI AG, 2021-1-25)
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of different extraction techniques (high hydrostatic pressure-assisted extraction (HHPE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and classical solvent extraction (CSE)) on phenolic compounds from spent coffee grounds (SCG). Different HHPE parameters (300, 400 and 500 MPa at 25 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min) and UAE parameters (40%, 50%, and 60% amplitude at 25 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min) were used. These techniques were compared with CSE (at 50 °C for 3...
