Abstract: Magnesite (MgCO3) is a salt-typemineral and is found in large amounts in Turkey. In this study, dissolution ofmagnesite in nitric acid solutions was investigated. The effects of variousparameters such as particle size, reaction temperature, solid to liquid ratioand acid concentration on the leaching process were examined. It was determinedthat the dissolution rate of magnesite increased with increasing reactiontemperature and acid concentration, and decreasing solid to liquid ratio. No significanteffect of particle size was observed on the dissolution of magnesium. Theexperimental data fitted the shrinking core model. The activation energy of theleaching process was calculated as 3.24 kJ/mol
