Magnesium Removal from Liquors of Laterite Leaching

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, magnesium removal through reaction of alkaline liquors and magnesium cation in liquors of laterite leaching was investigated. Basic magnesium carbonate and magnesium carbonate with high filtration properties were obtained at 70°C or above, whereas magnesium hydrate colloid existed in the products at temperatures below 70°C, resulting in the difficulty of product filtration. When the molar ratio of Na2CO3 to Mg2+ was 2.25:1, the reaction temperature was 90-100°C and the reaction time was 30min, nearly 100% magnesium was removed from liquors.
