Leaching kinetics of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore in sulfuric acid solution with sodium peroxodisulfate as oxidant

摘要

The leaching kinetics of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore in sulfuric acid solution with sodium peroxodisulfate was studied.The effects including leaching temperature, reaction time, particle size, stirring speed, and concentrations of sulfuric acid and sodium peroxodisulfate were investigated. The leaching process of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore is controlled by the chemical reaction through the solid layer across the unreacted shrinking core. The apparent activation energy of the leaching of molybdenum is calculated to be 41.0 k J/mol and the leaching kinetics equation of molybdenum from Ni-Mo ore is expressed as1-(1-a)1/3=3405.7exp[-41030.0/(RT)]t.
