    The optimisation of the dissolution of phosphate rock with Cl-2-SO2 gas mixtures in aqueous medium
    Abali, Y; Colak, S; Yapici, S
    In the present study, aimed at the production of phosphate compounds, the optimum process conditions were sought for the dissolution of phosphate rock from the Mardin-Mazidagi concentrate, The dissolution of this phosphate rock in aqueous solution saturated with a mixture of Cl-2-SO2 gases was optimized by passing Cl-2 gas through the final solution. Reaction temperature, solid-liquid ratio, Cl-2 gas flow rate, reaction period and stirring speed were employed as parameters. Using the Taguchi Fractional Design Method, it was found that the optimum process conditions, at which 93.35% P2O5 conversion was reached, were as follows: Reaction temperature: 20 degrees C Solid-liquid ratio: 1/7 (w/v) Cl-2 gas flow rate: 120 cm(3) min(-1) Reaction period: 20 Stirring speed: 600 min(-1).

    To enrich spatio-temporal information on the distribution of alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, a collective effort by 173 marine scientists was made to provide unpublished records and make them open access to the scientific community. Through this effort, we collected and harmonized a dataset of 12,649 records. It includes 247 taxa, of which 217 are Animalia, 25 Plantae and 5 Chromista, from 23 countries surrounding the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Chordata was the most abundant taxonomic group, followed by Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Annelida. In terms of species records, Siganus luridus, Siganus rivulatus, Saurida lessepsianus, Pterois miles, Upeneus moluccensis, Charybdis (Archias) longicollis, and Caulerpa cylindracea were the most numerous. The temporal distribution of the records ranges from 1973 to 2022, with 44% of the records in 2020-2021. Lethrinus borbonicus is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, while Pomatoschistus quagga, Caulerpa cylindracea, Grateloupia turuturu, and Misophria pallida are first records for the Black Sea; Kapraunia schneideri is recorded for the second time in the Mediterranean and for the first time in Israel; Prionospio depauperata and Pseudonereis anomala are reported for the first time from the Sea of Marmara. Many first country records are also included, namely: Amathia verticillata (Montenegro), Ampithoe valida (Italy), Antithamnion amphigeneum (Greece), Clavelina oblonga (Tunisia and Slovenia), Dendostrea cf. folium (Syria), Epinephelus fasciatus (Tunisia), Ganonema farinosum (Montenegro), Macrorhynchia philippina (Tunisia), Marenzelleria neglecta (Romania), Paratapes textilis (Tunisia), and Botrylloides diegensis (Tunisia).

    Good datasets of geo-referenced records of alien species are a prerequisite for assessing the spatio-temporal dynamics of biological invasions, their invasive potential, and the magnitude of their impacts. However, with the exception of first records on a country level or wider regions, observations of species presence tend to remain unpublished, buried in scattered repositories or in the personal databases of experts. Through an initiative to collect, harmonize and make such unpublished data for marine alien and cryptogenic species in the Mediterranean Sea available, a large dataset comprising 5376 records was created. It includes records of 239 alien or cryptogenic taxa (192 Animalia, 24 Plantae, 23 Chromista) from 19 countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In terms of records, the most reported Phyla in descending order were Chordata, Mollusca, Chlorophyta, Arthropoda, and Rhodophyta. The most recorded species was Caulerpa cylindracea, followed by Siganus luridus, Magallana sp. (cf. gigas or angulata) and Pterois miles. The dataset includes records from 1972 to 2020, with the highest number of records observed in 2018. Among the records of the dataset, Dictyota acutiloba is a first record for the Mediterranean Sea. Nine first country records are also included: the alga Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla, the cube boxfish Ostracion cubicus, and the cleaner shrimp Urocaridella pulchella from Israel; the sponge Paraleucilla magna from Libya and Slovenia; the lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus from Cyprus; the bryozoan Celleporaria vermiformis and the polychaetes Prionospio depauperata and Notomastus aberans from Malta.

    This collective article presents new information about 15 introduced taxa belonging to five phyla: one Rhodophyta, one Chlo-rophyta, one Mollusca, one Annelida, two Arthropoda, and nine Chordata (one Ascidiacea and eight Osteichthyes). The records refer to eight Mediterranean countries and extend from the Alboran Sea to the Levantine Sea as follows: Spain: first record of the African hind Cephalopholis taeniops for the Alboran Sea, and a further record of the Monrovia surgeonfish Acanthurus monrovi-ae, extending its distribution northwards in the Western Mediterranean. Italy: an additional record of the squat lobster Scyllarus subarctus based on its nisto stage, new records of the lionfish Pterois miles in the north-western Ionian Sea, first records of the bivalve Fulvia fragilis for the Italian Adriatic coast, and a record of the amphipod Ptilohyale littoralis in the northern Adriatic Sea, also representing the first report for the Mediterranean Sea. Montenegro: first record of the non-indigenous ascidian Ciona robus- ta. Albania: first record of the red cornetfish Fistularia petimba. Greece: first record of the cryptogenic polychaete Alitta succinea in association with ship fouling, suggesting the possibility of a non-indigenous origin of Mediterranean populations of this species, and first record of the Seychelles dragonet Synchiropus sechellensis for the Saronikos Gulf. Turkiye: first record of the red alga Womersleyella setacea, report of an abundant population of the Indian twospot cardinalfish Cheilodipterus novemstriatus in the Turkish Aegean Sea, and first record of Synodus randalli, also corresponding to the first report for the Mediterranean Sea. Syria: first record of the blenny Istiblennius cf. meleagris. Israel: report of an algal bloom of the green alga Codium parvulum, and first record of Synchiropus sechellensis.
