Abstract

In the present study, the leaching of molybdenum from molybdenite concentration in the hydrochloric acid medium was investigated and the comparison was made between the effect of the sodium chlorate and hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agents on the Mo-dissolution rate. Also, the effect of adiabatic temperature was studied on the Mo-dissolution rate. The leaching parameters were studied, and the optimum conditions were determined as temperature 80 °C, time 4 h, L/S ratio 1:20, 20% of HCl concentration, and 500 rpm as agitation. The results showed that sodium chlorate had a better impression than hydrogen peroxide, almost twice higher than it. Undermentioned optimum conditions, 89.3% of Mo-dissolution rate was achieved.
