It is mainly produced from the reaction of colemanite with sulfuric acid according to following reaction [2]: Ca2B6O11.5H2O(s) + 2 H2SO4(aq) + 6 H2O (1) 6 H3BO3(aq) + 2 CaSO4.2H2O(s) Gypsum is formed as a by-product through the reaction. After filtration of gypsum, crystallization of boric acid in high purity and efficiency is very important. Because the sulphuric acid has a strong acid, it dissolves the colemanite together with the other gang minerals in the boron ore, which leads to the product contamination. In this respect, we thought to dissolve colemanite ore with potassium bisulfate. The reaction between colemanite and potassium bisulfate can be given as follows: 2CaO.3B2O3.5H2O(s) + 4KHSO4(aq) + 6H2O(l) → 2(CaSO4.2H2O)(s) + 6H3BO3 (aq)+ 2K2SO4(aq) (2) Various dissolution studies of boron ores in different medium have been found in the literature [3, 10]. In a study [11] done on the extraction of boric acid with nitric acid from colemanite, optimum working conditions were found as reaction temperature: 94 oC, solid-to-liquid ratio: 0.25 g.mL-1, particle size: 2.4 mm, acid concentration: 2.2 M, stirring speed: 500 rpm and reaction time: 11 minutes. Under these optimum conditions, the boric acid extraction efficiency from colemanite was 99.66 %. In another study [12], Taguchi method was used to determine the optimum conditions for the dissolution of Na2O·2CaO·5B2O3·16H2O in NH4Cl solutions and the optimum levels were found to be reaction temperature: 87 oC, solid-to-liquid ratio: 0.05 g.mL-1, NH4Cl concentration: 4 M, particle size: -300+212 mesh, and reaction time: 18 minutes. Under these conditions, the dissolution percentage of boron was found to be 98.37. Although there are many studies on dissolution of boron ores, there has not been any study on optimization of dissolution of colemanite ore in potassium hydrogen sulfate solutions in the literature up to now. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the optimum working conditions by using Taguchi approach. Taguchi statistical method developed by Genichi Taguchi to improve the quality of manufac-. The aim of the study was to determine the optimum levels of the parameters for the dissolution of colemanite ore in potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4) solutions in a mechanical agitation system by using Taguchi approach and to declare an alternative reactant to produce boric acid. The investigated parameters and their optimum levels for the dissolution process were determined as: solid-to-liquid ratio: 1/10 g/mL, reaction temperature: 50 oC, particle size: -80 mesh, reaction time: 15 minutes, and stirring speed: 600 rpm. While the solid-to-liquid ratio and particle size had the greatest effect, reaction temperature and stirring speed had virtually less effect on the dissolution process. Under the determined conditions, extraction efficiency of the boron from colemanite ore was 100 %. Because potassium hydrogen sulfate has a less acidic character than sulfuric acid, some useful ways to use it as dissolving agent are as follows: 1) It helps the selective dissolution of boron from colemanite ore 2) It requires cheaper process equipment and 3) Potassium sulfate formed as a by-product in this process can be reacted with the stoichiometric quantities of sulfuric acid to form potassium hydrogen sulfate. This solution can be recycled to dissolution vessel.   &$  Colemanite Ore, Taguchi statistical approach, dissolution, potassium hydrogen sulfate. !"! Turkey has the largest boron reserves in the world. Some of Turkey’s most common commercially boron reserves are colemanite (Ca2B6O11.5H2O), ulexite (NaCaB5O6(OH)6.5H2O), and tincal (Na2B4O7.10H2O). Although the boron is not used directly, its compounds are widely consumed in the production of various materials including glass, fibers, fire retardant materials, catalysis, detergents, etc. [1].

This method focuses on minimizing variation and/or sensitivity to noise. In robust parameter design, the primary goal is to find factor settings minimizing response variation, while adjusting (or keeping) the process on target. After being determined which factors affect variation, one can try to find settings for controllable factors that will either reduce the variation, make the product insensitive to changes in uncontrollable (noise) factors, or both. A process designed with this goal will produce more consistent output. A product designed with this goal will deliver more consistent performance regardless of the environment in which it is used. In this experimentation, we tried to find an optimal combination of the control factor settings that achieve robustness against noise factors. For this purpose, we used Taguchi’s signal-to-noise ratio(S/N) formula for “the larger the better” criteria. S/N ratio provides a measure of robustness. We graphed the values of S/N ratios vs. the levels of parameters investigated (Fig. 1). By setting those factors at their optimal levels, the process can be made robust to changes in operating and environmental conditions. The formula of the S/N ratio for desired characteristic is;. tured goods, and more recently also applied to, engineering, biotechnology, marketing and advertising [13-17]. There are many ways to design a test and one of them is a full factorial experiment. It is very time-consuming when there are many factors. In order to minimize the number of tests required, fractional factorial experiments (FFEs) were developed. FFEs use only a portion of the total possible combinations to estimate the effects of main factors and the effects of some of the interactions. Taguchi developed a family of FFE matrices which could be utilized in various situations. These matrices reduce the experimental number but still obtain reasonably rich information. The advantage of Taguchi method on the conventional experimental design methods, in addition to keeping the experimental cost at a minimum level, is that it minimizes the variation in product response while keeping the mean response on target. Its other advantage is that the optimum working conditions determined from the laboratory work can also be reproduced in the real production environment [18, 20]. ! !  The colemanite samples used in the experiments were obtained from Eti Mine Company located in Emet town of Kütahya province, Turkey. The sample was crushed, ground and sieved by using ASTM standard sieves to obtain -20, -40, -60, and 80 mesh size fractions. The chemical composition of colemanite ore was given in Table 1. All the other chemicals used in the experiments and analysis were purchased in reagent grade from Merck. The dissolution process of the colemanite ore was carried out in a 250 mL spherical glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer having a digital controller unit. A thermostat for controlling the reaction temperature and a back cooler to avoid the loss of solution by evaporation were used. First, 100 mL of potassium bisulfate solution at 1.5 M concentration was put into the reactor. Then, when the solution reached the desired temperature, the sample was added into the solution while the content of reactor was being stirred. As soon as the process finished, the contents were filtrated, and boron in the solution was analyzed by volumetric method [21]. In order to determine the optimum conditions for the dissolution process, orthogonal array (OA) experimental design was used. The OA designs were balanced, that is, no factor is weighted more or less in an experiment, thus allowing factors to be analyzed independently from each other. The investigated experimental parameters and their levels were given in Table 2. Because it was the most suitable design for the conditions being investigated five parameters, each with four levels were considered, OA16(45) experimental design was conducted to. ⎧1 1 ⎫  /  = −10 log ⎨ ∑ 2 ⎬  ⎭ 10 ⎩ . (3). for the n observations y in each trial. When the analysis of some experimental results has indicated the optimal settings for the studied parameters, estimation of the process’s future performance under optimal conditions is usually required. This method suggests an estimation formula based on individual differences between the average of the chosen factor levels and the overall mean. For example, suppose we are interested in estimating the average yield of a process, on the basis of the results of an experimental which indicated that factors A and B were significant with optimal levels A (1) and B (2). The process average under the optimal levels can be estimated by      .

These plots show how each factor affects the response characteristic. This criteria is present when different levels of a factor affect the characteristic differently. For a factor with four levels, we may find that one level increases the mean compared to the other levels. We look at the line to determine whether or not an effect is present for a parameter. When the line is horizontal (parallel to the x-axis), then there is no or less effect present. When the line is not horizontal, then there is an effect present. The greater the difference in the vertical position of the plotted points, the greater the magnitude of the main effect. By comparing the slopes of the lines, one can compare the relative magnitude of the factor effects. We try to deduce experimental conditions for graphs given in these figures. Let us look at Figure 1 for reaction temperature (B), which shows variation of the performance statistics with temperature. Now let us try to determine the experimental conditions for the first data point. The reaction temperature for this point is at the first level (50 oC) for this parameter. Now let us look at the Table 3 and find the experiments for the first level of reaction temperature. It is seen from Table 3 that experiments for which column reaction temperature is 1 are the ones with experiment numbers 1,5,9 and 13. The experimental conditions for the second data point thus are the conditions of the experiments for which column reaction temperature is 2, and so on. Optimal levels of these factors are the levels with the maximum performance statistics (S/N), that is, with minimum variability. The optimal levels of these factors are 4,2,4,4, and 4 for solid-to-liquid ratio, reaction temperature, particle size, reaction time, and stirring speed, respectively. Because of the economic factors, we manipulated the second levels of solid-to-liquid ratio and reaction time. The optimum working conditions were determined as solid-to-liquid ratio: 1/10 g/mL, reaction temperature: 50oC, particle size: -80 mesh, reaction time: 15 minutes, and stirring speed: 600. If the experimental plan given in table 3 is studied carefully, it can be seen that 2,2,4,2,4 combination of the factor levels was not one of the 16 combinations tried in experiment. This is to be expected because of the high fractionality of the experimental design used (16 out of 45= 1024 possible combinations). Using Taguchi’s estimation formula based on the level averages (Table 4) and the associated ‘ β coefficients’, an estimate of the performance for μ under the optimal conditions is given by formula (4), which yields. average yield at level (1) and.  2= average yield at level (2) . Clearly, μ is only an estimate of the real process average under the selected conditions. To determine whether results of the confirmation experiments are meaningful or not, the confidence limits for μ must be evaluated. (100 - α) % confidence limits can be obtained using the formula. μ ± F(1, df e ; α ).  .  -1.

For example, if parameter A is a k-level factor, then  =  − 1. Always a confirmatory experiment at the determined optimum conditions should be run to check the predicted results. If the predicted results are in good agreement with experimental results, the suggested optimum working conditions will adopt the real conditions.    "!  "  During the dissolution of colemanite in KHSO4 solutions, the reaction can be represented as follows; 4KHSO4(aq.) → 4K+(aq.) + 4HSO4-1(aq.) (7) 4HSO4-1(aq.) + 4H2O(l) ↔ 4H3O+(aq.) + 4SO4-2(aq) (8) 2CaO.3B2O3.5H2O(s) + 4H3O+(aq) → 2Ca+(aq) + 6H3BO3 (aq) (9) + 2H2O(l) 2Ca+2(aq) + 2SO4-2(aq) → 2(CaSO4.2H2O)(s) (10). General reaction is: 2CaO.3B2O3.5H2O(s)+4KHSO4(aq)+6H2O(l) 2(CaSO4.2H2O)(s)+6H3BO3(aq.)+2K2SO4(aq). → (11). In this process KHSO4 can be readily produced by mixing the potassium sulfate formed as a byproduct, with an equivalent number of moles of sulfuric acid, (K2SO4 + H2SO4 → 2KHSO4). The potassium bisulfate can be re-cycled to the dissolution vessel and reacted with colemanite ore to form the corresponding products according to reaction 11.

"    The aim of the study was to determine the optimum dissolution conditions of colemanite ore in potassium hydrogen sulfate solutions and to declare an alternative reactant to produce boric acid. Based on the results obtained in this research, the major conclusions derived from the present work were as follows: • In this study, Taguchi Method assisted the determination of the optimum working conditions for the dissolution of colemanite in KHSO4 solutions. The optimum values of parameters were determined as solid-to-liquid ratio: 1/10 g/mL, reaction temperature: 50oC, particle size: -80 mesh, reaction time: 15 minutes, and stirring speed: 600 rpm. Under these optimum conditions, boric acid extraction from colemanite ore was 100%. • The performance measures and ANOVA analysis on the boric acid extraction indicated that the significance order of the parameters were solidto-liquid ratio, particle size, reaction time, stirring speed, and reaction temperature, respectively. • Since H2SO4 is a strong mineral acid, it also dissolves other gang minerals besides boron in the ore. This leads the contamination in the final product. But KHSO4 is much weaker than the sulfuric acid, this reactant helps the selective dissolution of boron compounds from other gang minerals. • KHSO4 can be readily produced by mixing the potassium sulfate formed as a by-product, with an equivalent number of moles of sulfuric acid and this solution can be recycled to the dissolution vessel. • Using KHSO4 as a dissolving reactant also has an advantage in terms of preservation of device corrosion.

Especially skin infections caused by direct contact, blood-borne infections, epidemics that can happen during organizations in which athletes stay together and infections that may happen after injuries pose a risk for athletes. Considering the infections that may happen during sports such as bacterial skin and soft tissue, bone infections, environmental contamination poses a special risk. For instance, erysipelas, which is a skin infection, is transmitted by a person’s contacting the infected area by hand. #  $*# ! is generally found in lakes, rivers and soil and causes infection by entering through a laceration area while a person is swimming [4]. In previous studies, it was reported that there were many sport injuries that came up in international organizations like world championships and Olympic Games. According to the data from Helsinki 2012 European Athletics Championship, there were 133 injury cases in total5. In a study in which FIFA world championships between 2002-2010 were examined, especially fouls were reported as the most important risk factor for the potential injuries [5]. Infections after such injuries inevitably develop. Factors of infections that can occur after sport injuries can be expected to be transmitted through direct contact with such areas [6]. Sport health comes up as a result of sports branches such as judo, wrestling, football, rugby which involve direct contact with the opponent and involves direct contact that may result in injuries and may cause injuries. Collins et al. explored the epidemics that occurred in sport branches like these which involves competition between 2005-2010 and reported that the most frequent epidemic was skin and soft tissue infection epidemics and %!*   &$&#&$ (33%) and fungus (29%) are the most frequent causes of them [7].

Sport activities are important in terms of a healthy life. Especially in diseases such as coronary artery, obesity, hyperglycemia, diabetes they were reported to have several benefits [1, 2]. Although they are important for a healthy life, there is the probability of occurrence of a variety of illnesses throughout the sport activities. That is why sport health has gained currency. Among these diseases there are contagious infections that can be transmitted by the people contacted during sport (HBV, HIV,. 3891.
