    查看更多>>摘要:The polycrystalline GdCrO3(GCO)perovskite orthochromite was synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method.The Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction(XRD)profile of GCO confirms that the orthorhombic phase crystallizes in perovskite crystal structure with space group Pbnm.The transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction divulge the polycrystalline nature of the perovskite chromite.The field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM)images reveal the microstructural polyhedral growth of grains separated by sharp grain boundaries.The chemical states of the ions present in the compound were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)studies,and the electrical pathways were identified.Complex impedance studies were carried out in the experimental frequency and temperature ranges of 40 Hz-4 MHz and 178-408 K,respectively.The equivalent circuit model(RGQG)(RGBQGB)resolves the impedance response into two contributions originating from the intra-grain and inter-granular micro-constituents of the material.The electrical conduction mechanism is based on the Mott variable range hopping model.The complex electric modulus studies demonstrate the short-and long-range mobility of the charge carriers and rule out the presence of electrode effects on the dielectric relaxation mechanism of the material.The decreasing pattern of dielectric permittivity with frequency is explained by the Maxwell-Wagner type of polari-zation.The frequency dependence of the loss factor exhibits the presence of thermally activated relax-ation time distribution in the material.

    查看更多>>摘要:The doping of the spinel ferrites with selective cations usually improves the properties of the parent ferrite.The effect of Co2+/Gd3+co-substitution on the microstructure,optical,and magnetic properties of Cu1-xCoxFe2-xGdxO4 prepared by the citrate-nitrate auto-combustion synthesis was investigated.Char-acterization of the samples was performed with powder X-ray diffraction(XRD),Raman and Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy,field-emission scanning electron microscopy,X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy,UV-Vis spectroscopy,and a vibrating sample magnetometer.The results of XRD,Raman,and FTIR analysis show a gradual structural phase transition from a tetragonal(I41/amd)structure to a cubic(Fd(3-)m)structure.The bandgap energy of the studied samples is in a range of 1.57-1.75 eV with a minimum in sample x=0.06 and then increases.Magnetic investigations show that the presence of Co2+/Gd3+cations in an octahedral site of the copper ferrite structure could increase saturation magnetization and coercive field from 567.9 Oe and 23.62 emu/g to 929.4 Oe and 28.27 emu/g,respectively.

    查看更多>>摘要:High-temperature calcination is effective in improving the leaching characteristics of rare earth elements(REEs)from conventional REE-bearing minerals by transforming them into more leachable forms.However,the recovery of contaminants such as Al,Fe,and Ca also increases significantly.The objective of the study was to maximize the REE extraction while minimizing the concentration of contaminant ions(Al,Ca,and Fe)in the leach solution.Representative density fractions of the coarse refuse from the Baker and Fire Clay seam coal refuse were pulverized to a top size of 180 μm and used as a feedstock for the study.All the samples generated from thermal treatment were leached at 1%(w/v)using 1.2 mol/L sulfuric acid at 75 ℃ for 2 h.Test results from a parametric program based on a Box-Behnken design were used for modeling and optimization of three operating parameters associated with the lab-scale calci-nation process.The parameters included temperature(400-800 ℃),ramp rate(2-10℃/min)and holding time(0-120 min).It was determined that the calcination temperature was the most significant parameter influencing REE recovery.The majority of the heavy rare earth elements(HREEs)were found to be present in an insoluble form in the calcination products and were marginally affected by thermal treatment.A strong correlation between light rare earth elements recovery(LREEs)and Al suggested a possible association with clays.The optimum operating conditions for high REE recovery with comparatively lower contaminant concentration for 1.6 specific gravity float and 2.2 sink fractions of Baker and Fire Clay seam material were determined to be at 776,800 ℃ and 407,800 ℃,calcining temperatures,respectively.A higher optimum temperature of 1.6 float fraction of Baker seam relative to Fire Clay seam material was due to elevated pyrite concentration in Baker seam material.Thermal treatment at 400 ℃ converted pyrite into a soluble intermedium iron oxide,resulting in a high Fe content in the leachate.Calcining at 776 ℃ converted most of the soluble iron oxide into insoluble a-hematite,considerably reducing the Fe concentration in the solution.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this decade,coal fly ash(CFA)is considered a potential secondary source of rare earth elements(REEs).However,most REEs in coal fly ash are encapsulated in aluminosilicate glass,making it challenging to recover them through acid leaching.In this study,a sequential alkaline-organic acid leaching was developed for the recovery of REEs from CFA.The effect of alkaline leaching using NaOH solution on the destructive ability of aluminosilicate glass,as well as the mineralogy and morphology changes of the resulting coal fly ash,was first studied.Furthermore,the effectiveness of alkaline leaching on the re-covery ability of REEs through organic acid leaching was evaluated.The results show that the maximum leaching efficiency for Si and Al,which was obtained at the optimum alkaline leaching conditions,namely NaOH concentration of 10 mol/L,reaction temperature of 65 ℃,liquid/solid(L/S)ratio of 10 mL/g,and reaction time of 90 min,is 28%and 32%,respectively.The digestion reaction with NaOH lixiviants also causes coal fly ash to become more porous,making it advantageous in the organic acid-leaching process at the REEs recovery stage.The utilization of the desilicated residue produced from the diges-tion process in acid leaching effectively increases the overall REEs recovery from 32.2%to 77.6%.

    查看更多>>摘要:This study investigated the leaching of scandium from a Sc-bearing silicate ore.The Sc concentrate obtained by beneficiation pre-enrichment has 1.03 × 10-4 wt%Sc and 14.66 wt%Fe.The main Sc-bearing minerals are limonite,chlorite,sericite,and hornblende,in the form of isomorphism.High-pressure leaching(HPL)with sulfuric acid(98 wt%)and NaF was used to dispose this samples.The Sc leaching efficiency of 91.82%was obtained under the optimum conditions,which are pressure of 5.0 × 105 Pa,A/O value of 1.1,L/S value of 1.8,NaF dosage of 2 wt%,at 130 ℃ for 6 h.The X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)results show that the residue is mainly quartz phase in the multi-hole shape.Compared with ordinary leaching for silicate,high-pressure leaching has significant ad-vantages in saving acid and energy consumption.
