Alternative Method for Indium Recovery from Chalcopyrite Concentrate

A recent study by Mehmet Umut Beşirli and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hüseyin Baştürkcü from Istanbul Technical University proposes an alternative route for extracting indium from chalcopyrite concentrate, a copper-rich sulfide material. Unlike conventional recovery processes that rely on zinc-based sources, this study demonstrates that chalcopyrite can serve as a viable primary source of indium through a newly designed process flowsheet.

Stable Physics-Related Earthquake Magnitude Estimates For Marmara Sea Earthquakes

Reliable estimates of the moment magnitude of earthquakes as representative of the earthquake source energy are vital for an understanding of seismic hazard in regions prone to tectonic activity. To address this demand, our researchers Berkan Özkan, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuna Eken and Prof. Dr. Tuncay Taymaz have tested a method involving coda wave modelling moment magnitudes estimates of earthquakes in the Sea of Marmara, northwestern Türkiye.
