Leaching of High-Grade Ore. The effects of NaOH concentration, oxygen pressure, temperature, reaction time, and percent solids on extraction of arsenic from ore A are given in table 4. The ore contains 61 pct arsenopyrite, and the stoichiometric NaOH for complete extraction of arsenic is 1.88 mol of NaOH per 100 g ore according to equation 1.
