Zusammenfassung:The specification discloses a process for regenerating aqueous chloride leac h liquors. The process involves roasting aque- ous chloride leach liquor to produce metal oxide and a gas containing HCl. T he gas containing HCl is passed through a precon- centrator where it is contacted with spent aqueous chloride leach liquor. Th e enthalpy of the gas evaporates water from the spent liquor thereby concentrating it. At the same time the spent liquor absorbs HCl. HCl not absorbed in the preconcentrator is con- tacted with water to form hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid may be mixed with the concentrated spent liquor and re-used. Apparatus for operating the process is also disclosed.
