  ABSTRACT: Model for predicting the initial solution pH at pre-assumed final pH and concentration of dissolved zinc, during leaching of galena in butanoic acid solution has been derived. The model; α = 1.4γ/ln[(Zn) 1/3shows that the initial pH of the leaching is dependent on the values of the pre-assumed final solution pH and concentration of dissolved zinc. The validity of the model was rooted in the expression eN(γ/α) = 3√Zn where both sides of the expression were approximately equal to 4. The respective deviation of the model-predicted initial solution pH value from that of the corresponding experimental value was less than 2% which is quite within the acceptable deviation limit of experimental results.
