Aqueous metal extraction or leaching is the process of extracting metal or a valuable entity found within an object. Consider the copper minerals shown in Fig. 5.1. …

The extraction of potassium from polyhalite ore (K2SO4·MgSO4·2CaSO4·2H2O) can help alleviate potassium resource shortages in China. In this study, the leaching behavior of potassium extracted from polyhalite ore in water was investigated using leaching experiments and kinetic analysis. The effects of various factors, such as liquid-to-solid …

Analysis of the results obtained showed that with leaching of zinc oxide ore of the Shaimerden deposit with a size of –20+1 mm the maximum degree of zinc extraction into solution (80.82%) is observed with leaching duration of 1 h, although it should be noted that after 30 min of the process considerable zinc extraction into solution is ...

A 97.43% leaching ratio of manganese was obtained from the roasted ore, which was leached by a 1.5 mol/L concentration of sulfuric acid at a 50°C leaching temperature, 50 rpm stirring speed and a 10:1 liquid-to-solid ratio for 5 min. Compared to the conventional reductive roasting-acid methods, the proposed technique was …

In this study, an alternative method for recovering nickel and other valuable metals from nickel laterite ores is proposed and evaluated. The proposed method comprises a leaching step using citric acid to dissolve the nickel and cobalt from Indonesian nickel laterite ores, and subsequently, an oxalate precipitation step to precipitate the nickel …

nuclear fuel cycle is to chemically extract the uranium from the ore and produce a partially refined product with a uranium content of at least 65%. This material is normally termed yellow-cake. Uranium milling is based primarily on hydrometallurgical operations such as leaching, solvent extraction, and precipitation.

The extraction of metal from ore using acid and sugar from beets using hot water are two commercial applications of leaching. The solid mixture to be separated in a typical leaching process consists of particles, inert insoluble carrier A, and solute B.All of the solute is dissolved by the solvent in an ideal leaching equilibrium stage, but ...

Chalcopyrite ore shows a rough surface, whereas silica is present a flat surface. The concentration of the copper-containing ore was found more in the ore as compared to leach residue. After leaching, the concentration of the ore decreases, and the amount of silica increases in the residue, as shown in Fig. 10. However, the crystal …
