The leaching behavior of Te from tellurium powder in hydrochloric acid solution was investigated to establish the leaching process of Te. Four different leaching condition were compared; without the addition of oxygen (or air) and Te⁴⁺, with the introduction of oxygen (or air), with the addition of Te⁴⁺, with the addition of Te⁴⁺ and the introduction of oxygen (or air), the leaching efficiency of Te was the highest when air and Te⁴⁺ were added. In the leaching test of Te powder, which is used right after grinding, The leaching efficiency of Te increased with increasing TeCl₄ concentration, agitation speed, temperature, hydrochloric acid concentration. More than 99 % of Te leaching efficiency was observed in the hydrochloric acid leaching at 240 min with air introduction and adding 4000ppm of TeCl₄ under the leaching condition; 90 °C, 600 rpm, 2 % pulp density.
