Existing State and Partitioning of Rare Earth on Weathered Ores

The existing state and partitioning of rare earth （RE） on weathered ores in Longnan County（LN）, Xingfeng County（XF） and Ninghua County（NH） were characterized systematically by standard geological analytical methods. It is found that RE in the weathered rare earth ores exist as four phases： （a） water soluble, （b） ion-exchangeable, （c） colloidal sediment （oxides）, （d） minerals, in which mainly as ion exchangeable phase, accounting for nearly 80% of total RE, with about 20% in the form of colloid sediment phase and mineral phase, but very little as aqueous soluble phase. These rare earth partitioning were mainly chosen mid-heavy RE elements, occupying above 60%, but not equal in the four phases. The mid-heavy RE elements were primarily enriched in the ion exchangeable phase up to 40%, while the containment of cerium dioxide is below 2 %. The cerium deficiency occurs in the ion exchangeable phase in weathered ore. It results from that the Ce^3＋ is oxidized into Ce^4＋ and changes into CeO2. For LN ore, the containment of Y is high in weathered ore because Y-minerals are abundant in original rock.     

REO mineral separation from silicates and carbonate gangue minerals

The increasing development of new technologies requiring rare earth elements has resulted in greater demand for rare earth element (REE) extraction and processing. However, REE concentration is a complex process and usually deposit specific. The mineralogy of each deposit can vary widely, but is essentially characterised by the type of REE and host gangue, chemistry and degree of liberation of the minerals that dictate the processing route. This paper presents REE mineral processing routes for the recovery of commercially valuable REE bearing minerals, such as REE fluorocarbonates and monazite, from silicates and carbonate gangue minerals.

The influence of temperature on rare earth flotation with naphthyl hydroxamic acid

The influence of temperature on the complex process of Bayan Obo rare earth (RE) ore flotation with a collector of naphthyl hydroxamic acid (LF8#) was investigated. Industrial test data shows that the grade and recovery of RE increase with the temperature. However, the proportion of bastnaesite in the bulk concentrate increases as the RE grade improves. Adsorption mechanism of LF8# on the surfaces of bastnaesite and monazite were confirmed via zeta potential, UV/Vis Spectrophotometer (UV/Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses (XPS). Although the results indicate that the total amount of the LF8# adsorption on the surface of bastnaesite and monazite decreases with increasing the temperature, the amount of stable adsorbed predominance of characteristic bonds (C(O)N) from LF8# uptake on bastnaesite surfaces increases significantly at high temperatures. This conclusion indicates that the adsorption stability increases with increasing the temperature. For monazite, the amount of characteristic elements C and N in LF8# does not increase as the temperature increases on the mineral surface, but the proportion of characteristic bonds increases, which shows that the adsorption stability of LF8# on the surface of monazite also increases, but it is not as significant as bastnaesite, which may be one of the reasons that the floatability of bastnaesite is better than those of monazite. Pulp dispersion results show that the temperature improve the dispersions of both the gangue and RE minerals. This improved the flotation selectivity so that it favored RE minerals. The calculated bubble size distribution confirms that higher temperatures generate smaller bubbles, thereby increasing the bubble-particle collision probability and the recovery of RE minerals.
