Chemical Engineering Journal 117 (2006) 205–211 Dissolution of periclase in excess of hydrochloric acid: Study of inhibiting effect of acid concentration on the dissolution rate ∗ ˇ ´ Pavel Raschman , Alena Fedorockova Faculty of Metallurgy, Technical University of Koˇsice, Letn´a 9, Koˇsice 042 00, Slovak Republic Received 22 February 2005; accepted 30 December 2005 Abstract Kinetics of the dissolution of particulate polycrystalline MgO in excess of hydrochloric acid were investigated, with special regard to the effect of activity of H+ ions, temperature and particle size. The results are presented in terms of the shrinking particle model. The overall process is controlled by the chemical reaction of MgO with H+ ions at the liquid–solid interface. The apparent activation energy was 58 kJ mol−1. Acid concentration (from 0.5 M to 5.1 M) was surprisingly found to have a decelerating effect on the dissolution rate of MgO, resulting in negative values of reaction order for H+ ions (from −0.16 to −0.18). We conclude that the regime studied here, characterised by decrease in the dissolution rate of MgO with an increase in H+ activity, occurs under far from mass-transfer control conditions in the solutions with low Mg2+ :H+ molar ratio. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
