Abstract:A quantitative leaching of a Nigerian Ixiolite ore in sulphuric acid medium was carried out and the effect of some parameters such as acid concentration, temperature and particle size was evaluated as a function of time. The experimental results obtained showed that the Ixiolite dissolution increases with increasing acid concentration, temperature, leaching time and, decreases with particle size. With 3 mol/L H2SO4 solution, 71.14% of the ore reacted within 120 minutes at 80°C.The kinetics of dissolution of th… Show more
