In this study, flotation tests were conducted with purified pyrite and ore samples. The collectors employed were anionic and cationic type such as potassium ethlyl-amyl xanthate, Tomamine M73 and Resanol Bal. According to the flotation tests, it was found that pyrite floated at low pH and depressed at high pH values with xanthates. On the other hand, in the case of cationic collectors which are Tomamine M73 (alkyl ether amine, an amphoteric surfactant) and Resanol Bal (N-3-tridecyloxy propyl 1-3 diamine, branched acetate) pyrite floated at high pH values. It was shown that amine type collectors could be efficient to selectively float pyrite from chalcopyrite at alkali pH ranges in the case of ore samples.

In this study, variations in permeability of a gold ore by nut shell addition was studied. Ore particle size, nut shell size and volume fraction in the ore were the parameters investigated. Permeability is an important issue in heap leach operations considering the processing duration. Particularly below 6 mm particle size permeability is greatly hampered. Turkey is the leading country in the world in hazelnut production. Therefore, considerable amounts of nut shell are obtained as a by-product. Incerase in the permeability of a finely crushed ore will obviously enable an increase in the leaching efficiency. The finer the particle size the more the liberation of gold is yet the permeability is lower. Therefore, this study focuses on the possibility of improving the permeability of ore heaps with nut shell addition. Optimum amount of nut shell which should be added to the ore was found to be 5% by volume. It was found that the permeability of ore crushed below 2.36 mm considerably increased by the addition of nut shell below 18 mm.

In recent years, the influence of different crushing systems (compression, impact, attrition) has been receiving more attention due to their significant role on particle liberation and shape of particles. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different crushing systems on both liberation degree and shape factors of chromite particles along with their enrichment conditions by shaking table. The tests were conducted on -1+0.5, -0.5+0.212 and -0.212 mm size fractions using the Wilfley type shaking table. The results of these tests showed that concentrates with higher metal contents were obtained by impact crushing of chromite in proportion to higher liberation degree and roundness of particles. Therefore, it was found that selective breakage can well be obtained by impact crushing in all fractions. The results of this study demonstrated the importance of crushing type on the liberation and enrichment processes.

In this study, sodium, calcium, and mixed bentonite samples were used as binders in the pelletizing fine iron ore concentrate obtained from the Divrigi Iron Ore Concentration Plant in Turkey. In the pelletizing tests, sodium bentonite sample was used as received and after upgrading process. Additionally, the calcium bentonite sample required activation by sodium bicarbonate while the mixed bentonites sample was used untreated and as well as activated. The pellets produced were tested for compressive strengths, drop number, and porosity in order to characterize the pellets. The results showed that untreated and upgraded sodium bentonite samples provided relatively stronger pellets compared to calcium and the mixed type bentonite samples needed activation with sodium bicarbonate to increase the strength of the pellets. Based on the results of the drop number, compressive strengths, and porosity, it is possible to make pellets which meet the standards by adequate addition of type and amount of bentonite.

In this study beneficiation of a sulphide ore from the Gümüşhane-Black Sea Region of Turkey was investigated. Detailed flotation studies were carried out with the ore sample which contained 2.95% Pb, 6.72% Zn and 0.32% Cu. Mineralogical analyses showed that the sample includes pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tennantite, cerussite, anglesite and smithsonite. On the other hand, hematite, goethite, limonite, calcite and quartz were determined as gangue minerals. Selective sulphide concentrates with low arsenic content were tried to be produced by froth flotation. Individual concentrates of Pb, Zn and Cu assayed 67.54% Pb, and 61.49% Zn and 23.31% Cu where corresponding recoveries were 73.0% and 77.1% and 38.7%, respectively. Arsenic contents were less than 2000 ppm in the lead and zinc con-centrates. Copper concentrate assayed 5.03% As since the major copper minerals were in tennantite form (copper arsenic sulphide mineral). In flotation tests, non-toxic reagents such as metabisulphite, caustified starch, and activated carbon were used to depress minerals in relevant circuits.
