Considering the recent focus of the Nigeria Government to grow and develop the nation’s economy through the solid minerals sector reform, this study has been devoted to the kinetics of a Nigerian goethite ore by hydrochloric acid leaching for improved iron and steel industries applications. This study was performed in three different phases. In the first phase, acidic leaching of iron from a goethite ore was examined and the influence of the operating variables including: HCl concentration, leaching temperature, stirring speed and particle sizes was examined experimentally. The optimum condition was found to be HCl concentration of 1.81M, temperature of 80°C, 200 rpm stirring speed and particle size 0.09 μm for iron in the range of investigated parameters. Under those conditions, the highest iron recovery was obtained to be 95.67 %. In the second phase, the dissolution kinetics of iron was evaluated by the shrinking core models. The finding reveals that diffusion through the fluid was the leaching kinetics rate controlling step of the iron. The activation energy (Ea) was found to be 14.54 kJmol-1 for iron. Equation representing the leaching kinetic of iron was achieved to be 1−2/3α - (1 − x)2/3 = 0.7272 × e−38.29/8.314×T × t. The final stage of the experiment was carried out by characterizing the leached residues by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the result showed majorly the presence of rutile (TiO2), anglesite (PbSO4), and traces of iron-silicate face like pyrite (FeS), quartz (SiO2). Keywords: kinetics modelling, leaching, low-grade, recovery, shrinking core

AbstractThe kinetics of dissolution of Amazonian metakaolin in hydrochloric acid (HCl) was studied using the ‘Shrinking Core Model’ for spherical and ‘flat plate’ particles of constant size. The Amazonian kaolin was calcined at 700°C for 2 h. The calcined samples (metakaolins) were leached in an HCl solution with 5% excess at 70, 80 and 95 ± 3°C for 3 h. Samples were collected every 15 min and subjected to Al analysis by the EDTA titrimetric method. Experimental data showed that the spherical morphology produced a better fit with respect to the regression coefficients. The activation energy of the reaction was 90.6 kJ/mol. The chemical process is a first-order leaching reaction. The results of the present study are consistent with those from previous research on this topic, which used HCl with an excess of >90%.

Gibbsitic bauxite from Australia was leached by hydrochloric acid in this work. Analysis on kinetics for the extraction of Al2O3was quantitatively studied. It was concluded that the hydrochloric acid leaching process of gibbsitic bauxite was controlled by chemical reaction. Moreover, the mechanism for the dissolution followed the equation,ln⁡k=39.44-1.66×104(1/T), with an apparent activation energy of 137.90 kJ/mol, according to the equation ofk=Ae-Ea/RT. This work aims to provide a good theory support for the process control by using a new method of alumina production from the low grade bauxite.

Abstract The kinetic study of Amazon metakaolin dissolution was performed with the application of the shrinking core model for spherical and ‘flat plate’ particles with constant size. The Amazon kaolin was calcinated at 700 ºC in order to produce metakaolin. This metakaolin was leached with 5% excess nitric acid at 70, 80 and 95±3 ºC for 3 h. Samples were collected every 15 min and subjected to aluminum analysis. The acid leaching was a chemically controlled process. The spherical morphology showed better fit than the flat plate particles when taking into account the regression coefficients. 91.58 kJ/mol of activation energy was found as well as an aluminum leaching reaction of the first order. The results found in this work using 5% excess acid and Amazon kaolin were consistent with previous research results using excess acid above 50% and standard kaolin.

AbstractAn investigation of the acid-leaching of a calcined kaolin was made to compare the reaction kinetics of hydrochloric, nitric, and sulphuric acids. The acid concentrations used were 5·9 and 8·6 normal. Reaction temperatures used were 95°, 80° and 60° C.Particular attention was given to finding a reaction equation which would mathematically represent the kinetic data. A nucleation rate equation of the general form, was found to represent these data. Values of m varied from 1·10 to 1·55 depending on the experimental conditions.Under the conditions employed the rate of alumina leaching is fastest with hydrochloric acid, slower with sulphuric acid, and slowest with nitric acid. The rate controlling steps are proposed from the experimental evidence.

In the present study, the recovery of valuable metals from a Panasonic Prismatic Module 6.5 Ah NiMH 7.2 V plastic casing hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery has been investigated, processing the anode and cathode electrodes separately. The study focuses on the recovery of the most valuable compounds, i.e., nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements (REE). Most of the REE (La, Ce, Nd, Pr and Y) were found in the anode active material (33% by mass), whereas only a small amount of Y was found in the cathode material. The electrodes were leached in sulfuric acid and in hydrochloric acid, respectively, under different conditions. The results indicated that the dissolution kinetics of nickel could be slow as a result of slow dissolution kinetics of nickel oxide. At leaching in sulfuric acid, light rare earths were found to reprecipitate increasingly with increasing temperature and sulfuric acid concentration. Following the leaching, the separation of REE from the sulfuric acid leach liquor by precipitation as NaREE (SO4)2·H2O and from the hydrochloric acid leach solution as REE2(C2O4)3·xH2O were investigated. By adding sodium ions, the REE could be precipitated as NaREE (SO4)2·H2O with little loss of Co and Ni. By using a stoichiometric oxalic acid excess of 300%, the REE could be precipitated as oxalates while avoiding nickel and cobalt co-precipitation. By using nanofiltration it was possible to recover hydrochloric acid after leaching the anode material.

The leaching process of Malaysian low grade manganese ore (LGMO) using bamboo sawdust (BSD) as reducing agent in acidic medium (H2SO4) and the dissolution kinetics of this ore was investigated. Acid concentration, reaction temperature, and BSD loading were chosen as experimental parameters through application of response surface methodology (RSM). For analysis of the kinetic data in this study, the SCM with surface chemical reaction and diffusion through product layer, the mixed control modelled and also new variant SCM were evaluated. The reaction kinetics of this leaching process was determined, and it is observed that it fits the model of 1-23X-(1-X)23=kt with activation energy of 69.3kJ/mol. The reaction rate for LGMO leaching using BSD was found to be diffusion through product layer.
