Selective leaching of molybdenum mixed copper-molybdenum sulfides

A study has been made of the oxidation of molybdenite in solutions of hypochlorite. The reaction was found to be first order in reagent concentration with a reaction rate constant of 1.90 x 10⁻² min⁻¹ cm⁻² at pH 9 and 45°C. The oxidation rate increases with increasing pH and later decreases if the p...
