Kinetics of thermal decomposition of Dashkasan cobalt mineral in the temperature range of 9731123 K was studied. Activation energy was determined. According to the value of activation energy (236,5 kJ/mol) it revealed that the decisive stage of ore processing is the decomposition of ore depending on temperature. Note that the enrichment of ore was performed due to the use of pyrometallurgy method by melting of ore at 1673 K. When melting ore, 5% of carbon was added into furnace burden to form a reductive medium. The resultant alloy contains 15-20% of cobalt. Rate constants of thermal decomposition of cobalt ore at different temperatures were calculated. Kinetic parametrs of the decomposition processing of cobaltine were calculated using generalized topokinetic Kolmoqorov-Erofeev equation. Unlike well-known works the study was performed with natural mineral of cobaltine.

INTRODUCTION
Cobalt ores have different mineralogical and chemical compositions and are many-colored. In ores the amount of cobalt may change in a wide range - from 100% to several percents. When amount of cobalt is 0.15% or less in non-oxidized complex ores (with sulfide and arsenyl), the production of it is economically profitable. In Azerbaijan, the main reserves of cobalt are located in the South Dashkasan deposit. The main mineral of this deposit is cobaltine. The work shows that as ore contains hard-melting cobalt and alumosilicate compounds cobalt cannot be fully yielded. When processing mineral with 20% of chloride acid, the yield of cobalt is 77.4%; with 2N sulfate acid it makes up 76.7%; in the dissolution of sulfatized mass in water it stands at 973K 88.52% of Co yields. When processing the primary sample with ammonia solution, more than 51% of cobalt does not go into solution[1-5]. The reason of partial extraction of cobalt from ore is the poor solubility of ore minerals in water, acid and alkali solutions. To make cobalt into maximum soluble form, first crystal cage of minerals in ores must be destructed. This
process was performed in two manners -thermal decomposition of ore samples in inert medium and oxidization of ore samples by atmospheric air. These operations had first been carried out in 1935-1938 at the Giredmet Institute where the pyrometallurgical enrichment process of floatation concentrate of Dashkasan deposit performed. During the process, metals and cobalt were generated from "speiss" obtained at 1573-1613K. As the paper [6] shows, 15-20% Co alloy (speiss) is generated from floatation of Dashkasan ore while 3-4% of cobalt containing concentrate, reductive melting of concentrate as compared with primary raw material cobalt becomes condensed 200 times. The next process is performed by processing an alloy using hydrometallurgy method. Since dissolution of alloy in acid goes weakly or partially, considerable emission of toxic (AsH3 and H2S) gases is observed. Note that 98% of cobalt can be separated from raw material by floatation-pyrological enrichment method. Since the process is multi-stage, the use of high energy comsuming equipment, and the emission of arsenium containing toxic gases into
atmosphere poses ecological danger, we examined a new way of Dashkasan cobalt ore processing. To find extraction condition of Dashkasan cobalt ore, it is necessary to study kinetic laws of thermal decomposition of cobaltite mineral in ore. Kinetic results of thermal decomposition of ore cobaltine can be a theoretical basis for revealing technological parameters of Dashkasan ore processing. Since cobalt ore has a complex and multi component composition, different parallel-consistent reactions which are determined by kinetic and diffusion, or various factors, can be occured. Since the research of real kinetic laws of separate stages of the process is experimentally complex, we studied formal kinetics of the process. Study of kinetic laws is
important for selection of optimum mode of ore burning and explanation of its mechanism.
The paper [7] examined the thermal decomposition of synthetic cobalt which was generated from powdery elements. It should be stated that mechanical and chemical properties of synthetic cobaltite differs from properties of the mineral of natural cobalt. As mentioned above, cobalt can be found in ore both together with separate minerals and in crystal cage of Fe, Cu, Al minerals. Unlike well-known known works, all the processes were analyzed, and natural cobalt mineral and kinetic parameters calculated. Kinetic parameters of experimental results were calculated through the use of generalized topokinetic Kolmoqorov-Erofeev equation:
a=l-x= l-C/C(j=l-exp(-kTn) [1],
where:
a- conversion degree of purposeful component, x-non-conversion degree of purposeful component k- rate constant of reaction, t- time of experiment,
n- kinetic parameter shows reaction composition,
CQ and C express relevant densities of purposeful component at t=0 and t. Twice logarithm of equation (1) gives the following expression:
lg [-lg(l-a)]= nlgT+ lgk
Tangent of inclination of line to abscissa axis equals to "n" kinetic parameter, when lgT=0
intersection point of it with axis of ordinatesequals to lgk.
Using K=nR1/n equation we calculate rate constant (lnK) of the reaction.
lgK=lgn+1/nlgR.
According to graphic method detection, of K and n demands many experiments and since kinetic parameters are not obtained precisely, kinetic parameters in the Kolmogorov-Erofeev equation were
performed by the simplex method of I.N.Beloglazov [8]. This method reduces the volume of experimental results unlike graphic method and simplifies calculation method. Detection of precise parameter values of K, n and Co is performed through the use of the simplex method of analytical equation. Thus, when using the simplex method the equation of the kinetic curve goes over into the dimensionless form of the equation corresponding to the experimental values of Ci and t. In any time for time interval we can refer to dti.
Axi=(pi+1-Ti=ip1(Ci;Ci+i) and ST=ri+l/Ti= ip2(Ci;Ci+i)

Исследована кинетика термического разложения в температурном интервале 973-1123 К минерала кобальтина в составе Дашкесанской кобальтовой руды. Определена энергия активации. По значению энергии активации процесса (236.5 кДж/моль) установлено, что при разработке руды определяющей стадией является разложение руды в зависимости от температуры. Процесс обогащения руды проведен методом пирометаллургии расплавлением руды при температуре 1673 K. При расплавлении руды для создания восстановительной среды в шихту добавлено 5% углерода. Полученный расплав содержит 15-20% кобальта. Рассчитаны константы скорости разложения кобальтовой руды при различных температурах. Кинетические параметры процесса разложения кобальтина рассчитаны с помощью обобщенного топокинетического уравнения Колмогорова-Ерофеева. В отличие от известных работ все процессы проведены с природным минералом кобальтином.
