The leaching kinetics of sodium zirconate in hydrochloric acid has been studied. Sodium zirconate was the result of melting zircon sand after separation from sodium silicate. The variables studied were temperature, contact time and the mole ratio of solvent to feed (R). These study aims are to determine the optimum conditions, the reaction rate controller and the reaction rate constant (k) and activation energy (Ea) for the leaching process of sodium zirconate (Na 2 ZrO 3 ).This experiment performed by leaching the sodium zirconate in hydrochloric acid with various temperatures of 50 °C, 70 °C and 90 °C, the mole ratio of solvent to feed of 5, 7 and 9, and various contact time of 10 minutes to 50 minutes. The experimental data were analyzed according to the kinetic models for heterogeneous reaction processes by using shrinking core models. It was found that the leaching of sodium zirconate in hydrochloric acid solution is controlled by chemical reaction with the activation energy was-62.974 kJ/mol. The optimum conditions for the performed experiment in the leaching step were achieved at a temperature of 50 °C, the mol ratio of solvent to feed of 5 and contact time of 50 minutes with the conversion of sodium zirconate was 43.43% and the value of reaction rate constant was 0.0027 min −1 .
