The dissolution of domestic aluminum hydroxide of 99.7% purity has been performed with mineral and organic acid prior to the synthesis of aluminum compounds from aluminum solution. Mean particle size of aluminum hydroxide used in the work was $14.4{\mu}m$, $22.9{\mu}m$ and $62.3{\mu}m$, respectively and the effect of reaction temperature, concentration of acid and reaction time on the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide has been examined. As a result, the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide was increased with the concentration of HCl and more than 70% dissolution was obtained with 5 mole/l HCl at $70^{\circ}C$ for reaction time of 4 hr. As far as the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide with sulfuric acid was concerned, it was found that the optimum concentration of sulfuric acid was about 6 mole/l for the effective dissolution of aluminum hydroxide. When oxalic acid was used for the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide, nearly complete dissolution could be obtained by the dissolution for 16 hr with 1.0 mole/l oxalic acid at $90^{\circ}C$.

A kinetics study on the dissolution reaction of zinc-ferrite has been made with aqueous sulfuric acid in various temperature and concentration. Fraction reacted(R) and apparent rate constant(K) increased with increasing temperature and concentration of sulfuric acid solution. The rate of dissolution is shown by $1-(1-K)^{1/3}=Kt$ for the initial stage of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid, where K is apparent rate constant, R is fraction reacted and t is reaction time, respectively. Activation energy associated with reaction was determined to be 16.3 kcal/mole. The dissolution of zinc-ferrite in sulfuric acid solution is dissolved by sto-ichiometric composition, but Fe and Zn did not dissolved, respectively.

Spent catalysts containing platinum were generated in petroleum refinery and other chemical industries. The reclamation of precious metals from such wastes has long been attempted in view of their rare, expensive and indispensable nature. In this study, the recovery of platinum from petroleum catalysts was attempted by a method consisting mainly of dissolving alumina substrate with sulfuric acid thereby concentrating insoluble platinum. Also, platinum dissolved partially in sulfuric acid was recovered by a cementation method using aluminum metal as a reductive agent. The effect of temperature, time, concentration of sulfuric acid. and pulp density on the dissolution of substrate was investigated. When the substrate of platinum catalyst was ${\gamma}$-AI$_2$O$_3$ about 95% alumina was dissolved in 6.0M sulfuric acid at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. When the substrate was the mixture of ${\gamma}$-A1$_2$O$_3$and $\alpha$-A1$_2$O$_3$about 92% was dissolved after 4 hours. As a result, more than 99% of platinum could be recovered by this method and aluminum sulfate was obtained as byproduct.

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) can be considered effective in the leaching of metals because of its advantageous physical and chemical properties. The chemical reactivities of MSA and sulfuric acid were compared based on their structures and the dissolution data of Co and Ni metal. The inductive and resonance effects play a vital role in the chemical reactivities of these two acids. The dissolution percentages of Co and Ni in the sulfuric acid solution were higher than those in the MSA solution under the same experimental conditions. Considering the strong acidity of MSA and the high solubility of its metal salts, MSA can be employed as a leaching agent for the recovery of metals.

Spent catalysts containing platinum were generated in petroleum refinery and other chemical industries. The reclamation of platinum metals from such wastes has long been attempted in view of their rare, expensive and indispensable nature. In this study, the recovery of platinum from petroleum catalysts was attempted by a method consisting mainly of dissolving alumina carrier with sulfuric acid thereby concentrating insoluble platinum. Also, platinum dissolved partially in sulfuric acid was recovered by a cementation method using aluminum metal as a reductive agent. The effect of temperature, time, concentration of sulfuric acid, and pulp density on the dissolution of carrier was investigated. When the carrier of platinum catalyst was $\Upsilon-Al_2$O$_3$ about 95% alumina was dissolved in 6.0 M sulfuric acid at $100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. When the carrier was the mixture of $\Upsilon-Al_2$$O_3$ and $\alpha$-$Al_2$$O_3$ about 92% was dissolved after 4 hours. As a result, more than 99% of platinum could be recovered by this method and aluminum sulfate was also obtained as byproduct.

1-naphthol-2-sulfonic acid and 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid were synthesized under the dissolution of 1-naphthol in 2-nitrotoluene with stirring 98.08-90％ sulfuric acid at $5-95^{\circ}C$ for 1-5 hours. As the reaction temperatures and the reaction time were raised, the yield of 2-sulfonate was decreased, while that of 4-sulfonate was increased. But we could not observe the tendency to the various reaction concentrations of sulfuric acids. The mixtures of two isomeric 1-naphtholulfonic acids in excess concentrated sulfuric acids was quantitatively determinded by using multicomponent spectrophotomeric analysis method on the basis of the ultraviolet absorption peak of the sulfonic acids. The standard deviation in this method was ${\pm}\;2.6$, and the above method seem to be rapid and accurate.

Soil-cement column is often used as a contaminant barrier. This study presents the results of experimental study performed to investigate the changes of properties of soil-cement column under the attack of acids. Sulfuric nitric, and ascetic acid were used as contaminants. Specimen were made of clayey and sandy soils with addition of cement and water Permeability of soil-cement decreased with time during permeability test. When significant amount of acid percolated the specimen, permeability increased and compressive strength decreased due to the dissolution and leaching of cement and its chemical reaction compounds. Sulfuric and nitric acid were more effective than ascetic acid in deteriorating soil-cement column. Amount of acid required to lower the pH of soil cement below 12 was calculated from the results of permeability tests. This leads to a conclusion that, under the conditions employed in this study, the chemical stability of soil-cement column could be maintained against acid attack for longer than generally accepted lifetime of contaminant barriers.

The continuous increasing of the global demand of copper and nickel metals raises the interest in developing alternative technologies to produce them from copper sulfide ore. Also, in line with Egypt's vision 2030 for achieving the sustainable socioeconomic development which aims at developing alternative and eco-friendly technologies for processing the Egyptian ores to produce these strategic products instead of its importing. These metals enhance the advanced electrical and electronic industries. The current work aims at investigating the recovery of copper and nickel from Abu Swayeil copper ore using pug leaching technique by sulfuric acid. The factors affecting the pug leaching process including the sulfuric acid concentration, leaching time and temperature have been investigated. The copper ore sample was characterized chemically using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDX). A response surface methodology develops a quadratic model that expects the nickel and copper leaching effectiveness as a function of three controlling factors involved in the procedure of leaching was also investigated. The obtained results showed that the maximum dissolution efficiency of Ni and Cu are 99.06 % and 95.30%, respectively which was obtained at the following conditions: 15 % H₂SO₄ acid concentration for 6 hr. at 250 ℃. The dissolution kinetics of nickel and copper that were examined according to heterogeneous model, indicated that the dissolution rates were controlled by surface chemical process during the pug leaching. The activation energy of copper and nickel dissolution were 26.79 kJ.mol^-1 and 38.078 kJ.mol^-1 respectively; and the surface chemical was proposed as the leaching rate-controlling step.

The dissolution characteristic of metal shows the different tendency according to the applied electrical potential, the kind of electrolyte and pH value, etc. In the micro electrochemical machining (ECM), unfavorable oxide/passive layer formation and overall corrosion of electrodes must be prevented. The anodic polarization curve of nickel has distinct three dissolution regions, i.e. two active regions and the transpassive dissolution region. In this paper, the stable electrode potentials of workpiece and tool were determined in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid solution, respectively. In each solution, different machining property was shown and possible electrochemical reactions were discussed. On the basis of this experiment, the methodology to obtain the proper electrode potential was suggested.
