摘要
Sulphuric acid leaching of the Nsuta (Ghana) manganese carbonate ore was investigated at different temperatures and using various particle size fractions and acid concentrations. Results showed that both initial rate and overall extractions were affected by acid concentration, initial particle fraction and the temperature of leaching. Manganese carbonate dissolution in acid was more favoured at elevated temperatures. A study of the Mn-CO3-SO4 system indicated the appearance of a MnSO4 stability region between Mn2+ and MnCO3 predominance areas as the sulphate activity {S} exceeded unit molality. The territory increased mainly at the expense of Mn2+ as sulphate activity increased. The practical implication of this is the probable formation of MnSO4 in the particle pores and, therefore, the alteration of the mechanism/kinetics of leaching, as was experienced during tests with the Nsuta carbonate samples. It was also observed that the formation of MnSO4 in the pores helped in the disintegration of the porous coarser particles during leaching.
