PRECIPITATION
• 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. Ks 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

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.

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
