The optimized parameters referred to the temperature, the acid concentration, the time and particle size. It was found that the leaching temperature was 80°C, the acid concentration was 2 mol/L, the leaching time - 60 minutes, while the particle size - 0.01 mm. The dolomite ore leaching efficiency reached 99.3 % under these conditions. The dissolution kinetic data were analysed and found to follow diffusion control mechanismendolomite oreleachinghydrochloric aciddiffusion control mechanismoptimizationArticle
