In this work, the dissolution behavior of Pb from the complex sulphide concentrates containing Galena and Arsenopyrite by alkaline oxidative leaching was studied. The influences of leaching temperature, oxygen partial pressure, leaching time and NaOH concentration of leaching solution were examined at the leaching conditions in the range of $100^{\circ}C{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ temperature, $40psi{\sim}100psi\;PO_2$ and $0.5M{\sim}2M$ NaOH concentration. The optimum result was obtained at the leaching condition of leaching temperature $120^{\circ}C$, 100psi $PO_2$, leaching time 30min. and 2M NaOH concentration of leaching solution.

It was to investigate the optimum leaching conditions for the NaOH hot digestion and hydrochloric acid leaching of Monazite. The optimum condition for NaOH hot digestion was that the concentration of NaOH/TREO mole ratio was 15, the temperature of decomposition $140^{\circ}C$, and reaction time 2 hrs. And the optimum condition for the hydrochloric acid leaching of NaOH hot digestion product was that the concentration of hydrochloric acid was 6N, leaching time 2 hrs and pulp density about 15%. The yield of rare earth oxide was above 90% on the above experimental condition.

희토류 정광으로부터 첨단산업 원료소재로 수요가 급증하고 있는 고순도 희토류 소재를 제조하기 위한 가장 첫 공정은 침출공정이다. 즉, 희토류 정광으로부터 원소별 희토류 성분을 분리하기 위해서는 용액상태로 전환이 필요한데, 이때 일반적인 산 및 알카리 용액에는 희토류 성분은 침출이 되지 않으므로 강산 또는 강 알카리 조건에서 희토류 정광을 침출 가능한 형태로 변환 시켜주는 분해공정이 선행되며 이후 산 침출에 의해 희토류 성분을 침출하게 된다. 본 고에서는 대표적인 희토류 광물인 모나자이트와 바스트나사이트, 그리고 이 광물의 혼합물 형태로 생산되는 혼합광물에 대한 분해 및 침출공정을 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, Orimulsion (a bitumen-in emulsion) has received increasing attention as an alternative fuel. Orimulsion combusion produces an ash rich in V, Ni and Mg which are processed to recover metals. As a basic study to recover V from Orimulsion ash, physico-chemcial properties and leaching behaviours were investigated. Orimulsion ash was fine size grains ($d_{50}$ 5.9 $\mu\textrm{m}$) with 16% V, 4 % Ni and 9% S. Vanadium was easily leached in water because Orimulsion ash was mainly constituted of metal sulfates. However, the increase of leaching temperature decreased the extraction percentage of vanadium because of hydrolysis of V(V) to vanadium pentoxide. The addition of sulfuric acid could increase the leaching percentage vanadium. In case of alkaline leaching for selective recovery of vanadium, the oxidzing agent such as $H_2$$O_2$ is required to improve the leaching per-centage

This study was examed about leaching behavior in order to separate plasticizer selectively before dechlorination from flexible PVC material in alkali solutions at $80~120^{\circ}C$. The dechlorination of that was not almost occurred below $100^{\circ}C$. But the yield of elution of plasticizer was 100% above 5M NaOH. Therefore, by controlling alkali concentration and reaction temperature, it is possible to extract the plasticizer selectively without taking dechlorination.

PVC sheet was treated in O~10M NaOH solutions at $80~150^{\circ}C$ for O~7 hour, in order to study the leaching phenomena of plasticizer. The yield of phthalic acid produced by hydrolysis of DOP was increased greatly with increasing temperature and NaOH concentration by accelerating of alkali catalyst. The yield of phthalic acid was reached ca. 100% in 10M NaOH at $150^{\circ}C$ over 3 hours. Therefore, the plasticizer containing 30% in PVC sheet could be hydrolyzed in alkali solutions before the occurrence of dehydrochlorination. Besides, in the thermal reaction, the pores were produced in the PVCsheet by the hydrolysis of DOP.

Soluble silica generated from acid leaching process is very difficult to filter and deceases the purity of products, and thus becomes one of hot issues in hydrometallurgy. This paper reviewed the dissolution and reactivities of silicates in acid solution, and the methods for treatment of soluble silica. Removal of silica with alkaline pre-treatment, crystallization to $SiO_2$ and precipitation behaviour of silica with coagulation under acid conditions were briefly described.

The objectives of this study are to determine optimal operation condition of chemical coagulation with ferric chloride($FeCl_3$) and fenton reagent oxidation for effluents of a biological denitrification treatment and an existing lagoon treatment of landfill leachate, and to investigate the effect of alkalinity on fenton oxidation. In jar-tester, optimum dosage of ferric chloride for removal of COD was $1,500mgFe^{3+}/L$, removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$ and $COD_{Mn}$ under this condition were about 55% and 64%, respectively. After chemical precipitation($1,500mgFe^{3+}/L$) of biological treatment effluent, optimum $Fe^{2+}/H_2O_2$ ratio of fenton oxidation was 1.5, the maximum removal efficiency of COD was about 80%, and optimum dosages of ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide were $600mgFe^{2+}/L$ and $400mgH_2O_2/L$, respectively. The removal efficiency of COD was decreased as alkalinity was increased.

An MCL(Molten Caustic Leaching) treatment is a chemical refinery process which is used for the desulfurization and demineralization by alkali treatment. The MCL treatment removes ash by converting mineral like Si, Fe, V, Ni etc. in petroleum cokes into soluble salts. The MCL has an advantage minimizing carbon loss in comparison to other desulfurization process. Reaction variables for the desulfurization and demineralization in the study were leaching temperature, leaching time, ratio of caustic to cokes, acid concentration and time for washing, and particle size. At the optimum condition, above 99% of desulfurization and about 90% of demineralization was obtained. FT-IR and SEM analysis showed that the structure and surface of the particle was closely related with the degree of sulfur and ash removal, and leaching temperature as well.
