A method for determining dissolver solution concentration as a function of length of column traversed for trickletype continuous dissolvers has been developed. An illustrative example is worked out for the mercury-catalyzed nitric acid dissolution of U-Al cast alloy slugs. The method employs a graphical integration of simple functions of dissolution rates and acid concentrations. These rates and concentrations are easily obtained from batch experiments made over the important ranges of concentration. (auth)
