Abstract:
      Zinc oxide ore was column leached in NH3-NH4Cl-H2O system. The results show that the leaching rate of zinc is 92.19% and zinc ion concentration in leachate is 54.38 g/L under the conditions including ore particle size of 0.1~10 mm, double column series operation, ore loading in first column of 2 629 g and 1 314 g in second column, total ammonia concentration of 7.5 mol/L, NH4Cl/NH3=2∶1, and leaching time of 30 days. Compared with the results of bottle leaching, zinc leaching rate of column leaching is improved by about 4 percent point and zinc ion concentration in leachate is improved by about 11 g/L.
