Earlier studies have shown that using Gluconobacter for bioleaching can be economically viable and cause fewer impacts on the environment, especially when compared with sulfuric acid. Conventional methods to extract rare-earth elements from ores generate millions of tons of toxic and acidic pollutants.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدKeywords: rare earth elements; alkaline cracking; acid baking; leaching; separation Rare earth elements (REE) are a group of 17 elements, including scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y) and 15 lanthanides from lanthanum (La, 57) to lutetium (Lu, 71). They show the similar chemical properties, and tend to occur in the same mineral deposits[1].

به خواندن ادامه دهیدThere are several ways to extract rare earth metals from their carrier minerals, such as direct leaching using sulfuric acid at temperatures of 155–230°C, alkali cracking using a sodium hydroxide solution at 140°C, roasting using sodium …
به خواندن ادامه دهیدrare-earth element - rare-earth element - Processing ores: All rare-earth ores contain less than 10 percent REO and must be upgraded to about 60 percent in order to be processed further. They are first ground to a powder and then separated from the other materials in the ore body by various standard processes that include magnetic and/or electrostatic separation and flotation.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدCurrent sulfuric acid bake processes for the Bayan Obo deposit in China and the Mt. Weld deposit in Australia together account for more than half of the world's rare earth production. In the sulfuric acid bake, the rare earth elements are converted to rare earth sulfates which are dissolved in a subsequent water leach.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدCracking and Leaching. Mt Weld concentrate, which is essentially rare earth phosphate mineral, is mixed with concentrated sulphuric acid and cracked at a high temperature to convert the rare earth phosphate minerals to rare earth sulphate. Water is added to the rare earth sulphate in the leaching stage and impurities in the form of iron ...
