Abstract
A mixture of alumina (Al2O3) and zircon (ZrSiO4) was subjected to mech anical milling. The presence of alumina was found to greatly enhance t he disordering of zircon. Acid leaching of the milled oxide mixtures r esulted in complete dissolution of the zirconium, along with a proport ion of alumina and only traces of silica. Zirconium leaching was not p ossible with zircon milled alone. Quantitative results of the leaching process are given.
