Abstract
This study reports the kinetics of copper metal dissolution in citric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution using the rotating disc method. The effect of the concentration of citric acid as well as hydrogen peroxide, stirring speed, disc surface area, and temperature was investigated. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide (0.25–1.5 mol/L) has a strong effect on the dissolution rate (mg/min) of copper with a reaction order of 0.92, compared to a reaction order of 0.42 with respect to the concentration of citric acid (0.125–1.5 mol/L). The reaction rate is directly proportional to the disc area (A) and square root of the disc rotation speed (ω1/2), as expected from the Levich equation. The activation energy of 33 kJ/mol, in the temperature range 30-60 °C is also comparable with the values reported in previous studies.
期刊介绍:
Hydrometallurgy aims to compile studies on novel processes, process design, chemistry, modelling, control, economics and interfaces between unit operations, and to provide a forum for discussions on case histories and operational difficulties.
Topics covered include: leaching of metal values by chemical reagents or bacterial action at ambient or elevated pressures and temperatures; separation of solids from leach liquors; removal of impurities and recovery of metal values by precipitation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, gaseous reduction, cementation, electro-winning and electro-refining; pre-treatment of ores by roasting or chemical treatments such as halogenation or reduction; recycling of reagents and treatment of effluents.
