Özet

In this study Taguchi method was applied to determine the optimum conditions of dissolution of metals in Waelz sintering waste (WSW) in HCl solutions. The effects of solid-to-liquid ratio, reaction temperature, stirring speed, acid concentration, and reaction time on extraction efficiency were investigated. The optimum conditions were determined as follows: solid-to-liquid ratio, 0.1; reaction temperature, 65 degrees C; stirring speed, 700 rpm; acid concentration, 3 M and the reaction time, 48 min. Under these conditions, extraction efficiencies of zinc, cadmium and lead from waste were 97%, 91% and 0.052%, respectively. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
