Potassium, which is included in certain contents in the structure of K-feldspar minerals, has a very important function in the growth of plants. Turkey hosts the largest feldspar reserves in the world and is by far the leader in feldspar mining. The production of potassium salts from local natural sources can provide great contributions both socially and economically in the agriculture industry along with glass production, cleaning materials, paint, bleaching powders, and general laboratory purposes. In this study, potassium extraction from K-feldspar ore with an 8.42% K2O content was studied using chloridizing (CaCl2) roasting followed by water leaching. Initially, to produce wollastonite and calcite concentrates, froth flotation tests were conducted on wollastonite-calcite ore after comminution. Thus, wollastonite and calcite concentrates with purities of 99.4% and 91.96% were successfully produced. Then, a calcite concentrate was combined with hydrochloric acid (HCl) under optimal conditions of a 1 mol/L HCl acid concentration, a 60 °C leaching temperature, and a 10 min leaching time to produce CaCl2. To bring out the importance of roasting before the dissolution process, different parameters such as roasting temperature, duration, and feldspar—CaCl2 ratios were tested. Under optimal conditions (a 900 °C roasting temperature, a 60 min duration, and a 1:1.5 feldspar—CaCl2 ratio), 98.6% of the potassium was successfully extracted by the water leaching process described in this article.

Abrasive–glass polishing waste is generated from the polishing process of glass components by using cerium oxide abrasive, which contains the cerium oxide abrasive and the polished glass. This study attempted to recover the cerium oxide abrasive from the abrasive–glass polishing waste through removing the polished glass by alkaline roasting using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) followed by water leaching. The experimental results indicated that the polished glass in the abrasive–glass polishing waste could be fully removed under the optimal alkaline roasting and water leaching conditions of roasting temperature of 450 °C, mass ratio of polishing waste to NaOH of 1:1, roasting time of 30 min, leaching pH of 3, leaching temperature of 25 °C, and liquid–solid ratio of 25 mL/g. The characteristics including elemental composition, particle size distribution, mineralogical phases, and morphology of the recovered cerium oxide abrasive obtained under the optimal conditions were similar to those of the original unused one, which was suitable to be reused for polishing again.

Feldspar minerals are essential ingredients for the glass and ceramic-glass industries. The potassium element found in certain proportions in the composition of K-feldspar minerals has a fundamental function in the growth of plants. The production of potassium fertilizers is mostly made from the soluble minerals, which are located in lakes. Despite having a huge area of use in the agriculture industry, the reserves of these salts are limited and not evenly distributed in the earth’s crust. Due to the high availability of feldspar reserves in the earth’s crust, the production of potential potassium salts can provide a wide range of social and economic benefits. In this study, potassium extraction from a feldspar ore, which contained microcline, albite, muscovite, and quartz, was studied using chloridizing (CaCl2) roasting followed by leaching. Direct leaching experiments were also performed on the sample by adapting various solvents. To emphasize the importance of roasting before the dissolution process, different parameters such as particle size, roasting temperature, and duration, as well as the feldspar/CaCl2 ratio, were tested. Under the optimum conditions (i.e., −106 microns, 850 Co, 60 minutes, 1:1.5 feldspar:CaCl2), 99% of the potassium was successfully extracted from the ore feed.

Bagasse, a fibrous residue from sugarcane juice extraction, was used as a reducing agent to roast low-grade pyrolusite in N2. The roasted ore was further leached using sulfuric acid, to convert manganese oxide in the ore to manganese sulfate. The effects of weight ratio of bagasse to manganese ore, roasting temperature, roasting time, leaching temperature, leaching time, stirring speed and sulfuric acid concentration on the leaching recovery of manganese were investigated. Optimal conditions were determined to be a bagasse to manganese ore weight ratio of 0.8:10, roasting temperature of 500°C for 40 min, leaching stirring speed of 100 rpm, sulfuric acid concentration of 3 mol•L-1 and leaching temperature of 50°C for 40 min. The leaching recovery rate of manganese was up to 97.8% at the optimal conditions.

Glass beads have been produced and traded for millennia all over the world for use as everyday items of adornment, ceremonial costumes or objects of barter. The preservation of glass beads is good and large hoards have been found in archaeological sites across the world. The variety of shape, size and colour as well as the composition and production technologies of glass beads led to the motivation to use them as markers of exchange pathways covering the Indian Ocean, Africa, Asia, Middle East, the Mediterranean world, Europe and America and also as chronological milestones. This review addresses the history of glass production, the methodology of identification (morphology, colour, elemental composition, glass nanostructure, colouring and opacifying agents and secondary phases) by means of laboratory based instruments (LA-ICP-MS, SEM-EDS, XRF, NAA, Raman microspectroscopy) as well as the mobile instruments (pXRF, Raman) used to study glass beads excavated from sub-Saharan African sites. Attention is paid to the problems neglected such as the heterogeneity of glass (recycled and locally reprocessed glass). The review addresses the potential information that could be extracted using advanced portable methods of analysis.

The extraction of vanadium and chromium from high chromium content vanadium slag by salt roasting and water leaching process has been investigated, which uses mixed sodium salts (Na2CO3 and NaOH) as additive agent in roasting process. The mineralogical morphology was prospected by TG-DSC, XRD, SEM and EDS. The oxidation of slag and transversion of V/Cr-containing phase and sodium salts have been discussed. It has been demonstrated that the presence of NaOH contributes to decompose spinel and olivine phases, which is beneficial to reduce the roasting temperature and elevate V, Cr leaching ratio. The roasting parameters have been studied as a function of roasting temperature, roasting time and ratio of alkali, in which the roasting temperature is the most effective factor on the leaching rate of vanadium and chromium. Under the optimum condition, the leaching rates of V and Cr reached 95.8% and 97.6%, respectively.
