폐 적층형세라믹콘덴서(Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor, MLCC)에 함유된 니켈의 침출거동에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 침출제인산의 종류와 산농도, 침출온도, 입자크기, 침출시간이 니켈의 침출거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 실험결과, 광액농도 5g/L, 질산농도 1N 침출온도 $90^{circ}C$, 시료입도 $-300/+180{mu}m$, 침출시간 30분에서 니켈의 침출율은 97%이었다. 니켈의 침출반응속도는 cylinder 형상의 Jander 식에 잘 따르는 것으로 분석되었다. 니켈의 침출반응은 잔류 $BaTiO_3$ 공극 확산율속반응이며, 활성화 에너지는 37.6kJ/mol(9.0 kcal/mol)이였다.
Leaching behavior of nickel contained in waste Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) was investigated using a batch reactor. The effects of acid type, acid concentration, leaching temperature, particle size, and reaction time on the extraction of nickel metal from waste MLCC were examined. As a result, 97% of nickel contained in waste MLCC was leached out in 30 min at the temperature of $90^{circ}C$ under the condition of $HNO_3$ concentration 1N, solid/liquid ratio 5 g/L and particle size $-300/+180{mu}m$. It was also found that a Jander equation was useful to fit well the leaching rate data. The rate of nickel leaching is controlled by pore diffusion in $BaTiO_3$ layer and has an activation energy of 37.6 kJ/mol (9.0 kcal/mol).
