Factors influencing the recovery of molybdenum during the hypochlorite leaching of low grade molybdenite-copper concentrates

An investigation into the factors influencing the extraction of molybdenum from copper sulphide molybdenite concentrates in alkaline hypochlorite solutions has been carried out. Sodium carbonate buffer components were found to act as complexing agents for the copper, enabling it to exist in solution...
