<p>The addition of a normally insoluble fluoride to a reaction being a chemical treatment process provides a surprisingly improved rate is dissolution in many cases. Specifically, where the fluoride is added to a reaction using hydrochloric acid or ferric chloride, the yield is more rapid than has previously been shown in the art. The invention is most applicable where the stability constant of the fluoride or fluoride complex of the element to be recovered is higher than that of the cation with which the fluoride is originally associated.</p> |
