The extraction parameters were solid-to-liquid ratio, base concentration, reaction temperature, leaching time, and stirring speed. Optimum experimental conditions were carried out by the Taguchi method. A higher dissolution rate was found to give better performance characteristics. The most important parameter was determined using the statistical analysis of variance. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 196–202, 2018. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog.EnglishAluminumLeachingTaguchi methodsEnvironmental pollutionsExperimental conditionsExtraction parametersLeaching parametersPerformance characteristicsReaction temperatureSolid-to-liquid ratioStatistical optimizationExtractionArticle10.1002/ep.12654
