  In this study, optimization and modeling of leaching parameters affecting nickel dissolution from lateritic ore in EskiÃ?â?¦Ã?Ÿehir (MihalÃ?â??Ã?±ççÃ?â??Ã?±k-Yunusemre) were investigated using Box-Behnken design. Stirring speed (100-400 rpm, temperature (40-80°C), acid concentration (0.1-2 M) and dissolution time (30-180 min) were selected as experimental design parameters. 27 experiments were carried out by Box-Behnken experimental design in Minitab 16.0 program. After leaching experiments, the highest Ni dissolution percentages were obtained as 87.85%. The effective parameters and their interactions in nickel dissolution are described with a mathematical model. The results obtained from the experiments were subjected to ANOVA and multiple regression analysis. The R2 value of the model for nickel dissolution was calculated as 0.980. This showed that the predicted.. Read More»
