Process Description
Pretreatment of the raw materials comes
first which involves crushing the coal
gangue an sieving to obtain a fine powder.
The powder is then calcinated at 675ºC for
an hour and left to cool. The calcinated
powder is then taken for acid leaching using
5mol/l HCL at 90ºC for 4 hours. It is then
