Abstract

Language:

Magnesium sulfate leaching of ionic rare earth ores is generally characterized by a smooth outflow curve, a long leaching time, and a high impurity content in the leach liquor. To reveal the leaching law of rare earth cations and impurity aluminum ions in the leaching process of ionic rare earth ores in magnesium sulfate, equilibrium leaching and leaching kinetics experiments were carried out using ore samples of five particle sizes. Furthermore, prediction models of equilibrium constants and rate constants were constructed based on ion-exchange theory. The results show that the equilibrium constants of the rare earth and aluminum ion-exchange reactions decrease gradually with the increase in the magnesium ion concentration, the decrease in the temperature, and the increase in the surface area of the particles. Moreover, the equilibrium constant prediction models of rare earth and aluminum with magnesium sulfate were constructed using data fitting. From the leaching kinetics experiment, there is a significant relationship between the reaction rate constant of ion exchange and the surface area of the particles: the larger the particle size, the smaller the reaction rate constant.
