The elemental and mineralogical characterization, loss of mass on ignition, moisture content and pH of the material suspension in water were determined. The effects of acid concentration, process temperature, stirring rate and particle size on the dissolution rate were investigated. Experimental results indicated that laterite dissolution was greatly influenced by hydrogen ion concentration and the leaching data fitted a diffusion model. The linear dependence of the rate constant k on 1/ro 2 supported the proposed kinetic model. Values of 60.23 kJmol-1, 64.31 kJmol-1 and 67.53 kJmol-1 were obtained for the activation energies of laterite dissolution in hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids respectively;and the order of reaction was approximately one with respect to each of the three acids.展开更多

Removal ratio of Cu in raw tellurium reaches 99% after raw tellurium is oxidized and leached with HNO3（69%） under the following conditions： 0.96 times stoichiometric quantity of concentrated nitric acid, 4：1 of ratio of liquid to solid, 20 °C of reaction temperature and 30 min of reaction time. Leaching ratio of Te reaches 99% after Te is leached with hydrochloric acid under the following conditions： 1.67 times stoichiometric quantity of hydrochloric acid, 4：1 of ratio of liquid to solid, 20 °C of reaction temperature and 30 min of reaction time. Tellurium powder（99.95%） is obtained when Te（IV） in leachate is reduced with sulfur dioxide. The purity of tellurium increases from 99.954% to 99.999 6% after tellurium（99.95%） is treated in hydrogen atmosphere at 723.15 K for 30 min.展开更多
