Turkish and Iranian red mud samples of different composition and mineralogy were processed by solid-state reduction followed by wet magnetic separation and smelting, two commonly used pyrometallurgical methods for iron recovery. The application of these two methods on the same samples allowed them to be compared thoroughly and to be examined for versatility. The results showed that it was possible to recover more than 90% of iron using both methods. However, the concentrate obtained by the first method contained a significant amount of undesirable oxides. Thus, large proportions (similar to 30%) of valuable elements that are planned to be recovered by hydrometallurgical methods were removed together with the iron. The smelting method, on the other hand, made it possible to recover the iron with high efficiency and as a marketable purity Fe-C alloy. The metal obtained by smelting contained 96% iron, 2% carbon, and a small amount of impurities like Si, Ti, and Na.

Investigation of productivity of heavy oil carbonate reservoirs and oil shales using electrical heating methods Hasçakır, Berna; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2008) The recovery characteristics of Bolu-Himmetoglu, Bolu-Hatıldag, Kütahya- Seyitömer, and Nigde-Ulukısla oil shale samples and Batı Raman, Çamurlu, and Garzan crude oil samples were tested experimentally using retort and microwave heating techniques. Many parameters like heating time, porosity, water saturation were studied. To enhance the efficiency of the processes three different iron powders (i.e.; Fe, Fe2O3, and FeCl3) were added to the samples and the doses of the iron powders were optimized. While crud...
Enrichment of metals in the surface sediments of Sapanca Lake Bakan, G; Balkas, TI (Wiley, 1999-01-01) A comprehensive lake sediment study was performed on the Sapanca Lake of Turkey in which certain metal analyses were conducted using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The purpose of the study was to find the enrichment of metals in the surface sediments of Sapanca Lake. A method, namely, the index of geoaccumulation, was used to define the degree of anthropogenic pollution in the Sapanca Lake basin. Results of the geoaccumulation index indicate that only enrichments of trace metals, c...
In-situ combustion laboratory studies of Turkish heavy oil reservoirs Bagci, Suat; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2001-12) The purpose of this research was to perform dry and wet forward combustion experiments for Turkish heavy oil reservoirs (Raman, Adiyaman and Çamurlu and Bati Kozluca) under different experimental conditions. In the experiments, a vertical tube was packed with crushed limestone and saturated with crude oil and water. It was observed that peak temperatures were higher when stabilized combustion was achieved and decreased as the combustion front approached the outlet end of the tube. In wet combustion experime...
Application of EOR techniques for oil shale fields (in-situ combustion approach) Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bagci, S. (2008-01-01) In this study, 1-D combustion tube experiments were performed with samples from the Turkish Seyitomer, Himmetoglu and Hatildag oil shale deposits. The results demonstrate that these oil shales are suitable for oil production by in-situ combustion techniques. The calculated production values are 4.46, L/ton for Seyitomer oil shale, 32.22 L/ton for Himmetoglu oil shale, and 18.27 L/ton for Hatildag oil shale.
Recovery of Turkish Oil Shales by Electromagnetic Heating and Determination of the Dielectric Properties of Oil Shales by an Analytical Method Hascakir, Berna; Akın, Serhat (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-01-01) The effect of microwave irradiation on the recovery of three different oil shale samples was studied. To enhance the microwave efficiency, three different iron powders (Fe, Fe2O3, and FeCl3) and their three different doses (0.1, 0.5, and 1% by weight, each) were added to the samples as microwave receptors. The doses of each receptor were optimized for each oil shale sample based on the highest oil or gas production value obtained experimentally. During the experimental studies, the temperature distribution ...
