Characterization and kinetics of alumina leaching from calcined Akpugo kaolinite for potential aluminum recovery

The kinetics study on alumina leaching from calcined Akpugo kaolinite was considered in this study. The shrinking core model and other relevant kinetic models were used for kinetic analysis of the leaching process. The leaching rate increases with increase in acid concentration, temperature, and sti...
