Erust, C.; Karacahan, M.K.; Uysal, T.
Increasing demand for low carbon technologies and renewable energy sources requires our resources and economies to be circular. Many countries agree that the responsible consumption, production, and recycling of rare-earth-containing products is essential as a way to achieve the sustainable development goals also set out in the European Green Deal. Sustainable sourcing is targeted with carefully designed roadmap for cost efficient REE production from end-of-life products (EoLs) in addition to mining activities as providing primary sources. Hydrometallurgical methods, such as roasting, leaching, precipitation, crystallization, solvent extraction, and ion exchange includes fast developing, selective, eco-friendly, and cost-effective technologies especially for the extraction of REEs. This article provides an overview of primary and secondary resources and summarizes presents case scenario of studies carried out on the use of some promising methods, which could serve as an economical means for recovering REEs.

Topal, Murat; Arslan Topal, E. Işıl
In the present research, lanthanum, vanadium, tungsten, scandium, bismuth, antimony, gallium, phosphorus, magnesium, and cobalt from critical raw materials (CRMs) were monitored for one year in the sewage sludges from an advanced biological wastewater treatment plant with the aim of presentation of possibility of using sewage sludge as a secondary source of critical raw materials. The amounts of the critical raw materials in sewage sludge were calculated annually, and economic values were revealed. Maximum concentrations of lanthanum, scandium, tungsten, bismuth, antimony, gallium, vanadium, cobalt, magnesium, and phosphorus were 4.3, 1.6, 0.5, 1.51, 1.27, 1.7, 23, 5.6, 6500, and 16,170 mg/kg, respectively. In the sewage sludge, the amount of CRMs, which have been formed annually, have been listed as tungsten < scandium < antimony < bismuth < gallium < lanthanum < cobalt < vanadium < magnesium < phosphorus. In autumn, summer, spring, and summer season, the mean highest concentration was for P, while the minimum concentration was for W. In sewage sludge, P and W elements were the highest and the least of the CRMs, respectively. With the recovery of CRMs in sewage sludge, the highest theoric achievable income is for Mg, while the lowest income is for Sb. It is determined that a total of 26,083.8 USD/year could be obtained by recovering the CRMs mentioned here from the sewage sludge.

TANAYDIN, Mehmet Kayra; TANAYDIN, Zümra Bakıcı; DEMIRKIRAN, Nizamettin
The leaching behavior of Tunceli malachite mineral was investigated in nitric acid solutions by two steps to evaluate the effect of various experimental parameters. In the first step, the optimal conditions for the leaching process were determined, while in the second step, a kinetic evaluation for the process was performed. In the optimization experiments, the concentration of nitric acid, temperature, stirring speed, and solid-to-liquid ratio were selected as the independent variables, and the central composite design method (CCD) was applied to the experimental data. At the end of the experiments, the optimal values for the concentration of nitric acid, temperature, solid-to-liquid ratio and stirring speed were determined to be 0.5 mol/L, 50 °C, 0.004 g/mL and 500 r/min, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the leaching rate was found to be 99% for 120 min of reaction time. In the kinetic evaluation tests, the effects of the concentration of nitric acid, temperature, stirring speed, solid-to-liquid ratio and particle size on the leaching rate of copper from malachite were investigated. In these tests, it was determined that the leaching rate increased with the increase in the temperature, acid concentration and stirring speed, and with the decrease in the particle size and solid-to-liquid ratio. In consequence of the kinetic analysis, it was observed that the leaching kinetics followed the mixed kinetic model, and a mathematical model for the leaching process was introduced. The activation energy for this process was calculated to be 36.23 kJ/mol.

Can, Erkan; Başusta, Asiye; Karataş, Bilal
Salmo munzuricus is a newly-named species of trout that spreads through rivers flowing along the Munzur Valley National Park. The efficacy of anaesthetic 2-phenoxyethanol was evaluated in indigenous brown trout in the present study. Fish were divided into three weight classes: 100-200 g (W1), 200-400 g (W2) and 400-600 g (W3) and they were exposed to four concentrations of anaesthetic (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mL L-1). The lowest induction time was identified in the group W3 while the highest one was in the group W1. The lowest recovery time occurred after 73.2±3.83 sec in the group W3 and the highest one was 136±31.46 sec in the group W1. The recovery times were increased with increasing the concentration of 2-phenoxyethanol in the group W1. However, recovery times in the groups W2 and W3 were significantly longer than observed in W1, generally. Besides, it was indicated that fish size affected induction times and recovery times. As a result of the present study, the most appropriate concentrations were determined as 0.4 mL L-1 at weights of 100-400 g while 0.5 mL L-1 at weights of 400-600 g for 2-phenoxyethanol in Salmo munzuricus broodstock.

Korkmaz, Volkan; Güngördü, Abbas; Ozmen, Murat
This study evaluated the toxic effects and recovery patterns in zebrafish (Danio rerio) after exposure to phosalone-based (PBP) and cypermethrin-based (CBP) pesticides. Initially, the 96 h LC50 values of the pesticides were calculated as being 5.35 µg of active ingredient (AI) L−1 for CBP and 217 µg AI L−1 for PBP based on measured concentrations. Accordingly, experimental groups were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of pesticides for 96 h, separately, and then zebrafish were transferred to pesticide-free conditions for 10 and 20 days recovery periods. Biochemical markers were assessed including carboxylesterase (CaE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione S-transferase (GST), lactate dehydrogenase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT, AST) activities after the exposure and recovery periods. Also, the pesticide concentrations in test water were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Our results showed that AChE and CaE activities were significantly inhibited and GST was induced by both pesticides after 96 h exposure. For PBP exposure, the decreases for GST induction and CaE inhibition showed a partial recovery in pesticide-free conditions. However, the decreases in AChE activity for CBP exposure and insufficient increases in same enzyme activity for PBP exposure after 20 days in pesticide-free conditions indicated that the projected recovery period was not enough to the recovery of AChE activities and for the improvement of fish health.
