The effects of ore particle size, reaction temperature and the sum concentration of ammonium ion and ammonia on the leaching efficiency of zinc were examined. The leaching kinetics of low-grade zinc oxide ore in NH3-NH4Cl-H2O system follows the kinetic law of shrinking-core model. The results show that diffusion through the inert particle pores is the leaching kinetics rate controlling step. The calculated apparent activation energy of the process is about 7.057 kJ/mol. The leaching efficiency of zinc is 92.1% under the conditions of ore particle size of 69 μm, holding at 80 ℃ for 60 min, sum ammonia concentration of 7.5 mol/L, the molar ratio of ammonium to ammonia being 2-1, and the ratio (g/mL) of solid to liquid being 1-10.展开更多

The effects of stirring speed, ammonium chloride concentration and temperature on anodic reaction rate were studied through the curve measurement of potentiostatic polarization. The results reveal that the electrochemically controlled anodic reaction obeys Tafel equation and the anodic reaction order for ammonium chloride is 1.056, with the apparent activation energy of 40.17 kJ/mol. The general equation of anodic reaction kinetics was obtained.展开更多

The results show that when the sum concentration of Au+ and Au3+ is equal to 5×10-5 mol/L, φ(Au+/Au) is about -0.2 V; when the sum comes up to 0.5 mol/L, the value of φ(Au+/Au) increases to 0.2 V. In this case, φ(O2/OH - ) is as high as 0.7 V. This means that it is feasible to extract gold in this system. In addition, to predict the feasibility of reducing gold from the Au(I)-NH4Cl-NH3-H2O system with copper or zinc powder, the solid figures of potential-c(NH4Cl)-c(NH4OH) for both systems of Cu-NH4Cl-NH3-H2O and Zn-NH4Cl-NH3-H2O were also drawn. The results indicate that both copper and zinc powders can reduce Au+ into metal gold, and zinc powder can also reduce H2O into H2, while copper powder can not. The leaching results of a cuprous gold ore show that the extraction of gold can reach 80% in this system. The preliminary results of reduction with copper and zinc powders show that with deoxygenizing, the reduction effects are relatively good.展开更多

Two-dimensional （2-D） equations of growth velocities of the dendrite tip, interface curvature and anisotropy of the surface energy were extended to 3-D system in the model. Therefore, the model was able to describe the morphology evolution of 3-D dendrites. Then, the model was applied to simulate the mechanism of spacing adjustment for 3-D columnar dendrite growth, and the competitive growth of columnar dendrites with different preferred growth orientations under constant temperature gradient and pulling velocity. Directional solidification experiments of NH4Cl-H2O transparent alloy were performed. It was found that the simulated results compared well with the experimental results. Therefore, the model was reliable for simulating the 3-D dendrite growth of cubic system alloys.展开更多
