Leaching kinetics for extracting yttrium from the coal fly ash was investigated in the presence of sulfuric acid during extraction. The leaching kinetics of yttrium were conducted at reactant densities of 5~1,000 g coal fly ash per L of $1.0{\sim}10.0N\;H_2SO_4$, agitation speed of 250 rpm and temperature ranging from 30 to $90^{\circ}C$. As a result, the leaching kinetic model was determined in a two-step model based on the shrinking core model with spherical particles. The first step was proceeded by chemical reaction at ash surface, and the second step was proceeded by ash layer diffusion because the leaching conversion of yttrium by the first chemical reaction increases with increased the time irrelevant to the temperature whereas it increases with increased the leaching temperature. The activation energy of the first chemical leaching step was determined to be $1.163kJmol^{-1}$. After the first chemical reaction, the activation energy of ash layer diffusion leaching was derived to be $41.540kJmol^{-1}$. The optimum conditions for leaching the yttrium metal of 60 % were found to be the slurry density of 250 g fly ash per L of $H_2SO_4$, solvent concentration of $2.0N\;H_2SO_4$, second step leaching of temperatures of $30^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and then $90^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours at agitation rate of 250 rpm.

본 연구는 acid bake-water leaching system (AWS)를 이용하여 Au 정광으로부터 경제적이고 친환경적인 유용금속 용출을 위하여 황산염 용매제의 적용성을 파악하는 것이다. AWS 실험은 전기로를 이용하여 다양한 baking 온도($100^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$)와 황산염 용매제($H_2SO_4$, $K_2SO_4$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $MgSO_4$, $CaSO_4$) 조건에서 수행하였다. Baking 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$까지 증가할수록 유용금속의 용출률은 증가하였다. 용출시간에 따른 AWS 실험결과, 최대 용출률 조건은 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 용매제이었다. 본 연구를 통하여 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 용매제가 AWS를 이용한 유용금속 용출에 있어 효과적인 용매제로 사용가능함을 입증하였다.

침출온도 $100^{\circ}C{\sim}140^{\circ}C$, 산소압력 $40psi{\sim}100psi$, NaOH농도 $0.5M{\sim}2M$ 범위의 침출조건에서 황비철광과 방연광의 혼합황화광의 알카리산화에 의한 Pb 침출실험이 수행되었다. 혼합황화광중의 방연광침출에는 침출용액중의 $OH^-$농도가 큰 영향을 미치며 낮은 $OH^-$농도의 침출용액에서는 침출반응의 진행에 따른 $OH^-$저하에 의하여 침출된 $HPbO_2^-$가 화합물로 다시 석출이 일어나서 침출율을 저하시킬 수 있다. 침출온도 $120^{\circ}C$, 산소압력 100psi, 침출시간 30분, NaOH 2M의 침출조건에서 처리한 침출잔사 중의 Pb함량이 가장 낮은 결과를 얻었다.

The most recent research in precious metal processing is found in the increasing use of heap leaching for the extraction of gold from low grade ores and tailing dumps because heap leaching has several advantages compared to traditional milling. They include simplicity, lower capital and operating costs, faster starter-up time and environmental safety. In this paper, an attempt has been made to provide an overview of important factors involved in the implementation of heap leaching technology as a vehicle for gold extraction from its low grade ores. Brief discussions of the various important elements to this process has been made to ascertain the heap leaching characteristics, such as heap leaching chemistry, natural factors, ore preparation, heap and pad construction, solution collection system, pond system, metal extraction, and economical consideration.

Particulate leaching method for the preparation of porous PLLA scaffolds was carried out and especially, the effect of PLLA/$CHCl_3$ solution concentration on the salt leaching rate and the pore structure of PLLA scaffolds were considered. It was found that maintaining lower PLLA/$CHCl_3$ concentration and higher $CHCl_3$ evaporation temperature in the preparation of PLLA/NaCl mixtures resulted in the enhancement of salt leaching rat e and higher porosity. This is understood that those conditions could minimize the formation of dense PLLA layer on the surface of PLLA/NaCl mixture as well as introducing better porosity on the surface. Higher salt leaching temperature accelerated the salt leaching rate but it seems that there is no influence on the porosity of PLLA scaffolds.

This research was performed to evaluate heavy metal leaching characteristics of the sludge from paper mill process with sintering temperature. Heavy metal leaching of the sludge was characterized with Korean Leaching Test and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The test sludge was composed of 70.72% of moisture, 9.5% of volatile solids and 9.76% of fixed solids. As a result of XRF analysis, Fe was the highest inorganic element in approximately 83%, which implies the recycling possibility of the sludge in reuse of Fenton chemicals and artificial lightweight aggregate. Leaching of heavy metals from sintered sludge was lower than the dry ones. However, there was no significant difference in leaching characteristics between the sludges sintered at $350^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$. Zn and Fe were leached more greatly in TCLP and KLT methods respectively.

The stone-dust is an unavoidable by-product of aggregate production, which is produced about 0.8~1.0 million $m^3$ annually. The stone-dust is currently regarded as a hazard material on environment because it is classified as an industrial waste in the Waste Management Law of Korea. At present, the stone-dust is considered as a environmentally hazardous material, and is classified as an industrial waste according to the Waste Management Law of Korea. In this study, we assessed the heavy-metal contamination of the stone-dust on surrounding environments by various leaching tests. Leaching experiments (such as Korea Standard Leaching Procedure (KSLP), Soil Environment Preservation Act of Korea (SEPAK), Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), and Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP)) show that very low heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg) and CN are leached out, or much less than each regulatory thresholds. The resuts of the leaching test with time in acidic solution (initial pH 5 and 3) indicate that pH-buffering minerals are present in the stone-dust. These results suggest that the stone-dust can not potentially affect adverse impact on surrounding environments such as surface water, groundwater and soil etc..

A two-step process for increasing the leaching efficiency of yttrium and neodymium from coal fly ash were investigated at solid loadings of 5.0 g ash ~1,000 g ash/l of 1.0 N~10.0 N H₂SO₄, temperature ranging from 30℃ to 90℃, ultrasonic leaching time of 1~10 hours, and ultrasonic power of 25~200 W. The yttrium and neodymium from coal fly ash were effectively leached into ion phases by step change of the first conventional dissolution at room temperature and then the second heating process with the aid of ultrasonic wave, and maximum leaching efficiency of yttrium and neodymium obtained were 66 % and 63 %, respectively. The activation energies for the leaching reaction of yttrium and neodymium at second heating process dependent on leaching time and temperature were derived to be 41.540 kJmol^-1 and 507.92 kJmol^-1, respectively. The optimum conditions for the maximum leaching of yttrium and neodymium were found to be the solid loading of 250 g ash/l of H₂SO₄, solvent concentration of 2.0 N H₂SO₄, and second step process of temperatures of 30℃ for 3 hours and then 90℃ for 4 hours with ultrasonic intensity of 100 W.

The pore structure of uranium-bearing sandstone is one of the critical factors that affect the uranium leaching performance. In this article, uranium-bearing sandstone from the Yili Basin, Xinjiang, China, was taken as the research object. The fractal characteristics of the pore structure of the uranium-bearing sandstone were studied using mercury intrusion experiments and fractal theory, and the fractal dimension of the uranium-bearing sandstone was calculated. In addition, the effect of the fractal characteristics of the pore structure of the uranium-bearing sandstone on the uranium leaching kinetics was studied. Then, the kinetics was analyzed using a shrinking nuclear model, and it was determined that the rate of uranium leaching is mainly controlled by the diffusion reaction, and the dissolution rate constant (K) is linearly related to the pore specific surface fractal dimension (D_S) and the pore volume fractal dimension (D_V). Eventually, fractal kinetic models for predicting the in-situ leaching kinetics were established using the unreacted shrinking core model, and the linear relationship between the fractal dimension of the sample's pore structure and the dissolution rate during the leaching was fitted.
