The experimental results of leaching were studied in batteries for bleaching kaolin scale The experimental results of leaching were studied in batteries for bleaching kaolin scale development based on a theoretical laboratory. The main objective was to evaluate the removal of iron oxides on the surface of kaolin, Methods: the use of different concentrations of oxalic acid drip for 48 days in each heap. Results: The whiteness index of feed Kaolin is 52.1%, with an iron content of 0.19%. Conclusions: The results showed that for acidic concentrations 0.15M, 0.015M and 0.95M, the iron removed was approximately 72.2%, 26.7%, 90.8% and the whiteness index rose to 90.23%, 83.8%, and 97% respectively.
