Abstract

See full text

In an autoclave in a high pressure acid leaching process in which starting material slurry and sulfuric acid are stirred by stirring machines in each compartment in the autoclave partitioned by partition walls to proceed leaching, and slurry is transferred from a compartment on an upstream side to a compartment on a downstream side to sequentially proceed leaching, wherein starting material slurry supply tubes having the starting material slurry discharge ports and sulfuric acid supply tubes having sulfuric acid discharge ports are alternately disposed on a perimeter of stirring blades of the stirring machine provided in the compartment at an upstream end, and the starting material slurry and sulfuric acid are added to the compartment at the upstream end from the starting material slurry discharge ports and the sulfuric acid discharge ports positioned higher than an uppermost part of the stirring blades and lower than a contained liquid surface.
