ALKİM TO PRODUCE 50 THOUSAND TONS OF POTASH PER YEAR NEAR DAZKIRI...

-

Turkey-based Alkim Alkali Kimya A.Ş. (Alkim), one of the largest sodium sulfate producers in the world, decided to invest in its Koralkim facility near Dazkırı (a district of Afyonkarahisar province) on the coast of lake Acıgöl to produce up to 50,000 tons per year of soluble-grade sulfate of Potash (SOP). For this project, Alkim awarded Veolia Water Technologies a contract to supply HPD crystallization technology to produce SOP in crystalline, fully-soluble form. The chemical reaction between purified potassium chloride and brine saturated with sulfate salts takes place inside draft tube baffle crystallizers, which allow for the reaction time under controlled temperature to promote the growth of highly-pure SOP crystals.

Veolia’s solution, which also includes multiple-effect crystallizers to produce almost 35,000 tons per year of food-grade sodium chloride as a by-product, optimizes capital investment by utilizing Alkim’s existing cogeneration units. Operating expenses are controlled by maximizing water and steam economies through the recovery of clean condensate and residual heat used for dissolving and heating the incoming solution of potassium chloride. Alkim has contracted Veolia two times before to deliver the initial crystallization system and a subsequent expansion at the facility in Çayırhan to produce pure sodium sulfate from solution-mined Glauberite extracted from underground natural deposits.

“We are pleased to support Alkim in the production of high-quality potash fertilizers to meet the demand in Turkey and beyond. HPD crystallization technologies exemplify the value that Veolia brings to the fertilizer industry in extracting soluble crop nutrients with the most efficient energy and water use,” said Jim Brown, CEO of Veolia Water Technologies Americas.

Turkey's successful fight against the new coronavirus, along with the hesitations or supply disruptions on purchases from countries hit hard by the pandemic, has stren gthened the brand image of Turkish food. As a result, orders from Asian and European purchasing groups have significantly increased – up to 100% in some product categories, sector representatives said. Many purchasing groups from Asia to Europe shifted their orders to Turkey, especially for products like packaged food. Turkey Food and Beverage Industry Associations Federation Vice Chairman Rint Akyüz said they expect food exports to reach $20 billion this year. The bestselling products during this period were ketchup, various kinds of sauce and tomato paste in particular. Turkish tomato paste producers, which rank fourth after America, China, Spain and Italy, have seen orders increase significantly. Sector representatives believe Turkey has emerged as a reliable alternative. Even Asian buyers now have he

Sibel Silici, Professor of Agricultural Biotechnology, Erciyas University (ERÜ), who has been working on propolis for 27 years in Kayseri and has won many international awards for his studies, published her works as a book. Professor Dr. Sibel Silici said that other bee products, especially propolis, have immune system regulating and stimulating effects. Not improving immune system but regulating... Stating that bee products provide protection against both bacterial and viral infections with this aspect. Dr. Silici said, "The immune system means immunity in medical language, the foreign body and microorganisms that enter our body from all the mechanisms. It is an immune system that we will strengthen with factors such as acquired immunity, healthy nutrition, sports, quality sleep." Emphasizing that propolis has a stimulating and regulatory effect on the immune system, Dr. Silici noted, "It is wrong to say that it increases the immune system because sometimes t
