Simulation of the kinetics of the autoclave dissolution of iron sulfides of nickel ore in the presence of oxygen

Abstract

A mathematical description of the characteristic stages of the autoclave oxidative dissolution of iron of the nickel-containing sulfide ore is preformed. It is assumed that the process kinetics is determined by the regularities of the external diffusion, and the most probable limiting stage of the process is oxygen absorption by the pulp. © 2012 Allerton Press, Inc.
