Abstract:

In this paper, the influencing factors in the process of alkali leaching of refractory zinc oxidize ores were studied. The influence of the particle size, reaction temperature, leaching time, alkali concentration and liquid-solid ratio on the leaching efficiency of zinc were investigated via leaching tests. The results indicate that the particle size has little influence on the leaching efficiency of zinc while the influences of other factors are larger. The optimal leaching condition is: the reaction temperature is 80 °C, the alkali concentration is 4.5 mol/L, and the leaching time is 1.5 h as well as the liquid- solid ratio is 10:1. In such conditions, the leaching efficiency can reach 82.22%.
