A Kinetic study of dissolution of Iron and Titanium from Syrian basalt at different conditions


Abstract in English

The dissolution rate of Iron and Titanium from Syrian basalt rock was studied by hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, mixture of hydrochloric acid methanol, sulfuric acid methanol solutions. The effects of temperature, time of digesting and concentrations of acids have been investigated, the ratios of solid to liquid and stirring speed were constant (S/L=0.02). It has been clear that when the mixture of hydrochloric acid and methanol (100:50(V:V) HCL:CH3OH) was used, the best dissolution for both iron and titanium was obtained when we digested the rock and it took 6h at 100 ˚C where as the concentration of hydrochloric acid and methanol were [HCl]=11M, [CH3OH] =0.92M, the resulting ratios of dissolution of iron and titanium in the mentioned conditions were 75.53%, 63.19 % respectively.
