Thermodynamic and kinetic features studies of polymetallic sulfide industrial waste nitric acid leaching were carried out. Elemental and phase composition of investigated raw material were studied with X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy methods. Calculations of the Gibbs energy change for the likely reactions of sulfide minerals with nitric acid were performed. In order to determine the most probable conditions of the sulfide industrial waste leaching in nitric acid, as well as the mutual influence of the produced pulp components on the performance of the process, the kinetics evaluation of multicomponent sulfide industrial waste in a nitric medium was studied using mathematical methods.
