With a telluride-type gold ore flotation concentrate as the research object, the Na2S + NaOH collaborative leaching process was applied to selectively separate tellurium before the cyanide leaching of gold and silver. The effects of process parameters including the type of leaching agent, the amount of leaching agent, liquid-solid ratio, leaching temperature, and leaching time on the leaching rate of tellurium were investigated. The results showed that the tellurium leaching rate could reach 78.14% under the optimum conditions of −0.038 mm (95%) grinding fineness, 80 g/L Na2S concentration, 30 g/L NaOH concentration, 4:1 liquid-solid ratio, 80°C leaching temperature and 3 h′s leaching time. The kinetic analysis showed that the leaching process of tellurium from telluride-type gold concentrate was a mixed type of chemical reaction control and diffusion control. The grain parameter in the leaching process was 0.26263 and the apparent activation energy E = 17.12 kJ/mol. Tellurium could be pre-leached from the telluride-type gold flotation concentrate through the Na2S + NaOH alkaline leaching process to achieve the effective separation of tellurium from noble metals, which, when eliminating the adverse effects of telluride on the leaching of gold and silver, provides new ideas for the extraction of rare element tellurium.

Oxygen pressure acid leaching process was used to extract vanadium from vanadium slag (Panzhihua steelmaking plant of China). The single factor experiment was finished and the effects of temperature, leaching time, liquid to solid ratio, stirring speed, initial concentration of sulfuric acid, and were investigated on the leaching rate of vanadium, titanium and iron. The leachate and residue were characterized by ICP, XRF, XRD, SEM and EDX.

The traditional gold leaching method is cyanidation, which carries serious security and environmental problems. More and more attention is paid to the research on non-cyanide process. A high-arsenic-and-sulphur refractory gold concentrate in Sichuan was taken as the object of study. After the roasting-oxidation pretreatment of the sample, potassium ferricyanide was adopted to carry on the process experiment on gold-leaching. The leaching results as well as correlative process conditions were both investigated. The results showed that good leaching effects could be achieved by potassium ferricyanide. When the amount of potassium ferricyanide was 60g/L, the concentration of NaOH 0.2mol/L, the liquid-solid ratio 6:1 and the leaching process at room temperature lasted for 20h, the gold leaching rate reached 88.1%. If the leaching aid CaO2 is added simultaneously, it can contribute to the gold leaching. When the amount of CaO2 was 3g/L, the gold leaching rate increased to more than 94%, the amount of potassium ferricyanide decreased to 50g/L and the leaching time reduced to 14h.

The obtained flotation concentrate contains 66.35%g/t gold and 37.06% S with recovery 96.14% and 96.42% respectively. A roasting process was conducted at 900-1000°C for 5.5hrs, followed by cyanide leaching of the residue. The gold leaching rate reaches 87.4% with an adsorption rate of 97.6%. Furthermore, the regrinding of the concentrate to 95% -0.18μm was conducted, and followed by cyanide leaching at pH11.5 for 12hrs. The results show the amount leached gold reaches 92.5% with an adsorption rate of 99.21%, which increases by 1.61% and 5.1% in comparison with the roasting-leaching process.

This study reached a gold ore which contain 3.83g/t gold, to investigate the available gold recover methods, direct cyanide leaching test and “biooxidation-cyanide” leaching process were utilized after enrich gold by flotation. When regrinding the flotation concentrate to 95% -325mm, the leaching rate of “biooxidation-cyanide” leaching reached 94.47%, compare with direct leaching, the leaching rate increased almost 67%. Obviously bacterium oxidation is a useful pretreatment for gold leaching.

A method of conventional roasting pretreatment combined with ultrasonic enhanced leaching with ammonium acetate was proposed to solve the difficult problem of lead in electrolytic manganese anode mud. The effects of concentration, liquid–solid ratio, temperature, leaching time and rotating speed on the leaching process under conventional and ultrasonic conditions were studied, and the lead leaching rate can be as high as 93.09% under optimized process parameters. A leaching kinetic model under conventional and ultrasonic conditions was established to explore the restrictive links of the leaching process. The results show that the leaching process under both conventional and ultrasonic conditions is controlled by diffusion, and the activation energies are 29.40 kJ/mol and 26.95 kJ/mol for the conventional and ultrasound enhance leaching processes, respectively.

Alkaline leaching is an important way for treating low grade metal oxide ore, which has some advantages such as low corrosion and low pollution compared to acidic leaching. In order to recover the zinc from a low grade complex zinc oxide ore in which the grade of Zn and Fe are 13 wt.% and 40.2 wt.%, respectively, and 52.8% of Zn is contained in siderite, 34.63% in limonite and 11.55% in smithsonite, this paper presents a preliminary investigation of this type of ore by alkaline leaching method. In this study, ammonia-ammonium chloride and ammonia-ammonium carbonate were used as the leaching reagents. The effects of alkaline concentration, leaching time, leaching temperature and liquid to solid ratio (L/S) were studied, respectively. The results show that 43.15% of initial Zn content was extracted adopting ammonia-ammonium chloride as the leaching reagent in 4.5M at 30°C for 3h with a liquid to solid ratio of 4:1, while 43.07% of Zn recovery was achieved employing ammonia-ammonium carbonate as the leaching reagent at 5M, 30°C and 4:1(L/S). The low leaching rate of Zn is probably attributed to that the zinc contained in siderite was not extracted completely because Zn and Fe exist as isomorphism in siderite.

Extracting indium from water quenching slag, which contains poor indium, by two process of leaching, the effect of different oxidants and dosages on the leaching rate of indium in water quenching slag were studied. The leaching conditions: temperature 80 °C, leaching time 2 h, the liquid to solid ratio of neutral leaching 8︰1, the liquid to solid ratio of acid leaching 2︰1, initial concentration of sulfuric acid 500 g·L-1, adding different oxidants, the concentration was detected by crystal violet spectrophotometry. Test results showed that the leaching rate of indium was significantly improved by adding hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate. Compared with the effect of different oxidants, the effect of potassium permanganate was significantly higher than that of hydrogen peroxide on the leaching rate of indium.

The kinetics of oxidation with oxygen of chalcocite, Cu2S, to CuS in buffered aqueous ammonia at pH 10.5 at 30� can be modeled approximately by a shrinking core of Cu2S within a thickening shell of CuxS (x ≥ 1). The Cu2S core offers partial cathodic protection to the CuxS and diffusion of Cu+ through CuxS controls the rate of reaction. The kinetics of oxidation of covellite, CuS, to Cu2+, sulfur and sulfate ions in the same solvent can be modeled by a shrinking core of CuS surrounded by a shrinking sphere of CuyS (y < 1) which is much less effectively protected cathodically by the CuS core. Oxidation of CuS is subject to mixed chemical and diffusion control. Rates of oxidation of NiS and of CuS, in the presence and absence of tetrachloroethene and ammonium sulfate, show that, whether sulfur is a major oxidation product or not, the presence of sulfur has very little, if any, influence on the rate or mechanism of oxidation. This is contrary to current ideas on metal sulfide oxidation.
