The phase composition of the molybdenum ammonia leaching residue was analyzed by XRD.The results indicate that there are calcium molybdate and a small amount of low-valence molybdenum compounds in the residue.Thermodynamic research of calcium molybdate leaching with sodium carbonate shows that the leaching reaction spontaneously occurs at the temperature higher than 86℃.The higher the temperature,the easier the leaching reaction.The optimum process parameters of residue leaching with sodium carbonate at high temperature are established as follows:sodium carbonate concentration 70g/L,reaction temperature 190℃,pretreating time 1.5h,liquid-solid ratio 3∶1.Under the optimal leaching conditions,the molybdenum leaching ratio can reach 91.44%,the molybdenum content in the residue decreases to 1.91%,and calcium molybdate is completely leached.Kinetic study of the leaching process shows that the apparent activation energy is 10.38kJ/mol in the leaching reaction of molybdenum ammonia leaching residue with sodium carbonate,and the leaching process is mainly controlled by solid-membrane diffusion.
