Experimental Study on Acid Leaching of Polymetallic Sulphide Ore
An experiment of acid leaching was performed for the concentrate obtained by flotation pretreatment of a refractory sulphide ore.After leaching at 95 ℃ for 2 h,with nitric acid concentration at 9 mol/L,and liquid-solid ratio of 4∶1,the leaching rates of copper and zinc reach 90.46%and 85.34%,respectively,showing no lead leached out.The leaching process is mainly controlled by both solid film and chemical reaction.
