Magnesium oxide suitable for the use in basic refractories was prepared from dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) by hydrochloric acid leaching, precipitation with CO2 and thermal hydrolysis. Leaching of the dolomite ore in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was investigated with respect to the effects of time on dissolution of the dolomite sample. The dependence of the observed dissolution rate on pH was est...
