Ammonia/ammonium and acetic acid/acetate buffered systems form in the aqueous medium. Thus, pH of solution remains almost constant during leach-ing process. Ammonium acetate is a neutral salt, and pH of leaching solution is near neutral value at the end of dissolution process due to the formed buffer system [27]. This case can be an advantage ...

Two-stage leaching and evaporation were applied to extract and purify copper from copper-contaminated sludge: (i) in the first stage, 2.0 N sulfuric acid could leach out 95.2% Cu and other impurities (Fe, Al, and Pb); (ii) in the second stage, an ammonia solution was used to stabilize Cu by forming an amine complex in solution, while other ...

Direct leaching of ores becomes very expensive using chlorine systems. I have tested leaching of gold in worked out mining areas using thiourea in an acid environment - results, leaching and absorption onto carbon was remarkable. The problem however was the environmental issues associated with thiourea. There is a lot of literature on this.

Under the conditions in the furnace zinc is a vapour (gas), whereas lead is produced as a liquid by a similar series of reactions.. The other components of sinter such as silica (SiO 2), lime (CaO), alumina (Al 2 O 3) and iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 /FeO), form a molten slag of silicates. This is tapped from the hearth of the furnace simultaneously with the lead, and then separated in a vessel called ...
