Abstract:The leaching of dolomite (carbonate mineral of calcium and magnesium) in mineral acid such as HNO3 is environmentally friendly with low energy demands, and it has high capacity of processing both in low and high grade ore. The study of the reaction kinetics and mechanism of reaction between dolomite and HNO3 was investigated. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) result showed that Ikpeshi dolomite ore consists of calcium (20.09 %), magnesium (13.93 %) and oxygen (65.99 %). The effect of HNO3 concentr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
