Iron removal from kaolin using thiourea assisted by
Jan 01, 2012#0183;#32;Veglio used thiourea as the leachant agent in the iron removal process from kaolin, and the largest iron extraction yield (94%) was obtained [7]. The chemical reactions can be summarized as follows: (1) Fe 2 O 3 + 3 H + 2 Fe 3 + + 3 H 2 O (2) Fe 3 + + Tu Fe 2 + + 1 / 2 FDS + H +. where: Tu = NH 2 CSNH 2 FDS = NH 2 CSSC ( NH) NH 2.
