Abstract

A kinetic study on the sulfuric acid leaching of multi-metal oxide, which is the product of multi-metal copper alloy with iron trioxide roasted in oxygen, was carried out. The effects of leaching time, stirring speed, sulfuric acid concentration, reaction temperature, and particle size of the multi-metal oxide on the kinetics and mechanism of copper extraction were studied. It was found that the reaction kinetic model about the copper extraction from multi-metal oxide follows the mixed kinetic shrinking core mode: 1/3ln(1–X)+(1–X)–1/3–1=680.5C(H2SO4)0.4297 d P –0.75115exp(–E a/RT)t.
