In this study, dissolution kinetics of iron leaching by sulphuric acid under atmospheric pressure from Karacam (Eskisehir-Turkey) lateritic ore was studied. The effects on the iron reaching rate of stirring speed, sulphuric acid concentration, temperature, particle size, and solid/liquid ratio were investigated. In order to investigate the effects of leaching temperature range of 40–90 °C the shrinking core model was applied by using the results of experiments. Kinetics analysis showed that the iron dissolution...

In this study, leaching of Ni and Fe in suphuric acid medium with K2Cr2O7 was investigated. The samples of the lateritic nickel ore were taken from Karacam (Eskisehir) region of Turkey. Mineralogical investigations showed that the ore sample contains, goethite, hematite, wustite, retgersite, gaspeite and clay type minerals together with quartz. The shrinking core model was applied to the results of experiments investigating the effects of leaching temperature range of 50–96 ◦C. Two equations were applied from ...

In this study, enrichment probabilities of Topraktepe (Yesildag-Beysehir) chromites by Multi Gravity Separator were investigated. Multi Gravity Separator tests were carried out using -106-75 $\mu$m particle size and 2500 g specimen. The results of beneficiation studies showed that concentrate containing 57.52\% Cr2O3 was obtainable with a 79.83 \% rate of recovery. The results of Multi Gravity Separator test demonstrated that high recovery and high grade concentrates have been obtained for 3 drum speed. The best r...

In this study, optimum enriching possibilities of Topraktepe chromite ore were investigated by shaking table. Shaking table tests were carried out using -1000+500, -500+300, -300 +212, 212+106, -75+53, -53+38 $\mu$m particle sizes and 1000 g samples. From the experimental results, the obtained optimum results are as follow: -300+212 $\mu$m particle size, 12 mm shaking stroke, 6o table angle, \% 25 solid ratio, 300 rpm shake frequency.

The ultramafic rocks around Kizildag have very important economic reserves of chromite and olivine. The ultramafic rocks are mainly composed of dunites and in lesser amount diabases. The dunites are mainly made of forsteritic olivine which is about 90 \% of the rock mass. The chemical composition of the rock is as follows: MgO 52.25 \%, SiO2 37.5 \% and Fe2O3 8.3 \%. These mineralogical and chemical characteristics are met the need of iron-steel and refractory industry. The olivine deposits of Kizildag with 9 bill...
