Geochemical modelling of coupled sulfide–silicate systems during sulfuric acid leaching of Ni-, Co-, and Mn-bearing minerals

Abstract The increasing demand for critical metals such as nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and manganese (Mn) has highlighted the need for efficient hydrometallurgical recovery from low-grade sulfide resources and mine wastes. Although sulfuric acid leaching is widely used for metal ex...
