Effective Removal of Barrier Layer on the Surface of Low-Nickel Matte in an FeCl<sub>3</sub>-HCl-H<sub>2</sub>O Solution

Using ferric chloride as an oxidant, here, we investigated the leaching effect of low-nickel matte in a flow field produced by mechanical agitation. The factors affecting a leaching reaction, such as stirring speed, leaching time, low-nickel matte particle size, and inert abrasive quartz sand, were...
