Abstract :The process of optimizing the dissolution of colemanite ore insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2CaO.3B 2 O 3 .5H 2 O); in methyl alcohol by CO 2 in a high-pressure reactor was evaluated by using the Taguchi method. Optimum conditions for the cholemanite mineral were determined to be as follows: reaction temperature: 140°C, reaction time: 50 min, calcination time: 240 min, calcination temperature: 450 o C, solid-liquid ratio: 1/6 g.mL -1 , mixing rate: 500 cycle/min, pressure: 20 bar, grain size: -100 mesh and the amount of CaCl 2 : 7.5 g.  
Keywords : Colemanite, optimization, taguchi method
