| Abstract: | In order to better understand the leaching process of rare earth (RE) and aluminum (Al) from the weathered crust elution-deposited RE ore, the mass transfer of RE and Al in column leaching was investigated using the chromatographic plate theory. The results show that a higher initial ammonium concentration in a certain range can enhance the mass transfer process. pH of leaching agent in the range of 2 to 8 almost has no effect on the mass transfer efficiency of RE, but plays a positive role in the mass transfer efficiency of Al under strong acidic condition (pH<4). There is an optimum flow rate that makes the highest mass transfer efficiency. The optimum leaching condition of RE is the leaching agent pH of 4–8, ammonium concentration of 0.4 mol/L and flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The mass transfer efficiencies of RE and Al both follow the order: (NH4)2SO4<NH4Cl<NH4NO3, implying the complexing ability of anion. |
