• Consider a leaching of CBNC solution
containing iron(III) ions at an activity of
1x10-5 M at 25°C. Hydroxide ions was
added to induce precipitation. What is
the minimum pH for precipitation to
occur? K = 3.8x10-38
pH = 3.2

much 12M HCl must be added to get a pH of
2.5?
For 250 L solution having a pH of 9.6, how much
B) 10M NaOH musts be added to get a pH of 11.5

• Two Solutions containing Co +2 only for the first
solution and Co +3 for second solution. Both ions
in 1x10 -5 M. Calculate the pH needed to
precipitate both ions as hydroxides. K s for Co +2
is 1.26x10 -15 and Co +3 is 3.16x10 -45 .If conc. of
both metal ions were increased to 0.01,
calculate the pH needed to precipitate both
ions. If the ion concentrations were 1x10 -6 ,
calculate the pH needed to precipitate Co +2 and
Co +3

a. E = -0.0296pH – 0.0591 log PH2
b. E = 0.0296pH – 0.0591 log PH2
c. E.= -0.0591pH – 0.0296 log PH2
d. E.= 0.0591pH – 0.0296 log PH2
• In relation to the previous, consider a
solution of 1x10-4 M Nickel Sulfate. Hydrogen
gas is injected to the solution to precipitate
Ni. What is the minimum pH required to
precipitate Ni? Consider PH2 = 1 atm.
Ni2+ + 2e = Ni ; = -0.25V
pH = 6.2
Given: Leaching Tank = 12.0m diameter and 13.5m
height.
2500 DMTPD with ore sp.g of 2.75 at 40% solids
15% of the tank volume is occupied by air
Initial free cyanide ions concentration in the leaching
tank is only 200 ppm which is a bit low. The metallurgist
decided to increase the free cyanide ions to 500ppm to
enhance the efficiency of the reaction. How much NaCN
must be added in order to get the target concentration
of 500 ppm free cyanide? 12 pts for the solution
