Investigation of Dissolution of Malachite Ore in Perchloric Acid Solutions
Öz
Hydrometallurgy contains the production of metal, metal salts, and their compounds by means of chemical reactions in aqueous solutions. Copper in the oxidized copper ores can be recovered by hydrometallurgical methods. First step of the mentioned method is the leaching process involving a solid to liquid mass transfer. In this process, solid ore is dissolved by an appropriate solvent, and metal values are transferred into solution medium. In the present study, it was examined dissolution of malachite, which is an oxidized copper ore, in aqueous perchloric acid solutions. The dissolution behavior of copper, zinc, and iron in the malachite ore was determined. The effects of acid concentration, reaction temperature, average particle size of solid, solid-to-liquid ratio, and stirring speed on dissolution of copper in the ore were investigated. It was observed that all experimental parameters have a significant effect on the leaching of copper. It was determined that the leaching of copper in the ore increased with an increase in acid concentration, reaction temperature and stirring speed, and with a decrease solid-to-liquid ratio and in solid particle size. It was observed that the dissolution of iron in the ore was substantially affected from acid concentration. By controlling of the reaction conditions, it was found that the amount of copper passing to the solution medium can be high and the amount of iron can be kept at low levels. The kinetic analysis relating to the leaching process was made, and it was determined that the reaction rate followed the mixed kinetic controlled model. The activation energy of the leaching process was estimated to be 30.94 kJ/mol.
