The effects of calcination temperature and mechanical ball milling on the physicochemical properties of electrolytic manganese residue(EMR),mineral phase transition,pozzolanic activity,and pore structure were studied....The effects of calcination temperature and mechanical ball milling on the physicochemical properties of electrolytic manganese residue(EMR),mineral phase transition,pozzolanic activity,and pore structure were studied.The experimental results show that the strength activity index(SAI)of 20%EMR mixed mortar at 28 days is 90.54%,95.40%,and 90.73%,respectively,after pretreatment with EMR at 800℃calcined for 3,5,and 8 min.This is mainly attributed to the high temperature decomposition of gypsum dihydrate to form activated calcium oxide.In addition,high temperature and mechanical force destroys the Si-O chemical bond and promotes the formation of calcium silicate gel structure.Due to the existence of a large number of gypsum phases in EMR mixed mortar,a large number of ettringite,C-S-H,aluminosilicate,C-A-S-H,and AFm are formed,which strongly verifies the volcanic activity of EMR.The leaching test shows that high temperature calcination has a significant effect on the stabilization of NH_(3)-N.However,the curing effect of Mn^(2+)is significant only in the calcination at 1000℃,but both Mn^(2+)and NH_(3)-N in the calcined EMR are higher than the emission standard.The encapsulation effect of EMR composite mortar provided by hydration products,and the buffering capacity of the Si-Al system for solidification of heavy metals and strong alkalis are conducive to the stability of Mn^(2+)and NH_(3)-N.After the EMR mixed mortar is aged for 3 days,Mn and NH_(3)-N are completely lower than the emission standard.In general,the EMR mixed mortar can meet the requirements for green building use.展开更多

However, the pitfall of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries is the sluggish deposition reaction kinetics of manganese oxide during the charge process and short cycle life. We show that, incorporating ZnO electrolyte additive can form a neutral and highly viscous gel-like electrolyte and render a new form of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with significantly improved charging capabilities. Specifically, the ZnO gel-like electrolyte activates the zinc sulfate hydroxide hydrate assisted Mn^(2+) deposition reaction and induces phase and structure change of the deposited manganese oxide(Zn_(2)Mn_(3)O_8·H_(2)O nanorods array), resulting in a significant enhancement of the charge capability and discharge efficiency. The charge capacity increases to 2.5 mAh cm^(-2) after 1 h constant-voltage charging at 2.0 V vs. Zn/Zn^(2+), and the capacity can retain for up to 2000 cycles with negligible attenuation. This research lays the foundation for the advancement of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with enhanced charging capability.展开更多

文摘This study presents a novel approach to improving the anticorrosive performance of AZ31 Mg alloy by exploiting the role of the hydration reaction to induce interactions between Quinolin-8-ol(8HQ)molecules and the porous MgO layer formed via plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO).The AZ31 Mg alloy,initially coated with a PEO layer,underwent a dipping treatment in an ethanolic solution of 0.05 M 8HQ at 50℃ for 3 h.The results were compared with those from a different procedure where the PEO layer was subjected to a hydration reaction for 2 h at 90℃ before immersion in the 8HQ solution under the same conditions.The hydration treatment played a crucial role by converting MgO to Mg(OH)_(2),significantly enhancing the surface reactivity.This transformation introduced hydroxyl groups(−OH)on the surface,which facilitated donor-acceptor interactions with the electron-accepting sites on 8HQ molecules.The calculated binding energy(Ebinding)from DFT indicated that the interaction energy of 8HQ with Mg(OH)_(2) was lower compared to 8HQ with MgO,suggesting easier adsorption of 8HQ molecules on the hydrated surface.This,combined with the increased number of active sites and enhanced surface area,allowed for extensive surface coverage by 8HQ,leading to the formation of a stable,flake-like protective layer that sealed the majority of pores on the PEO layer.DFT calculations further suggested that the hydration treatment provided multiple active sites,enabling effective contact with 8HQ and rapid electron transfer,creating ideal conditions for charge-transfer-induced physical and chemical bonding.This study shows that hydration and 8HQ treatments significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys,highlighting their potential for advanced anticorrosive coatings.

文摘Metal-insulator-metal aluminium electrolytic capacitors(MIM-AECs)combine high capacity-density and high breakdown field strength of solid AECs with high-frequency responsibility,wide workingtemperature window and waterproof properties of MIM nanocapacitors.However,interfacial atomic diffusion poses a major obstacle,preventing the high-voltage MIM-AECs exploitation and thereby hampering their potential and advantages in high-power and high-energy-density applications.Here,an innovative high-voltage MIM-AECs were fabricated.The AlPO_(4)buffer layer is formed on AlO(OH)/AAO/Al surface by using H_(3)PO_(4)treatment,then a stable van der Waals(vdW)SnO_(2)/AlPO_(4)/AAO/Al multilayer was constructed via atomic layer deposition(ALD)technology.Due to higher diffusion barrier and lower carrier migration of SnO_(2)/AlPO_(4)/AAO interfaces,Sn atom diffusion is inhibited and carrier acceleration by electric field is weakened,guaranteeing high breakdown field strength of dielectric AAO and avoiding local breakdown risks.Through partial etching to hydrated AlO(OH)by H_(3)PO_(4)treatment,the tunnel was further opened up to facilitate subsequent ALD-SnO_(2)entry,thus obtaining a high SnO_(2)coverage.The SnO_(2)/AlPO_(4)/AAO/Al capacitors show a comprehensive performance in high-voltage(260 V),hightemperature(335℃),high-humidity(100%RH)and high-frequency response(100 k Hz),outperforming commercial solid-state AECs,and high-energy density(8.6μWh/cm^(2)),markedly exceeding previously reported MIM capacitors.The work lays the foundation for next-generation capacitors with highvoltage,high-frequency,high-temperature and high-humidity resistance.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of electrolytic copper was investigated using a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation testing machine at temperatures ranging from 500℃ to 800℃ and strain rates ranging from 0.01 s^(-1) to 10 s^(-1),under 70% deformation conditions.The true stress-true strain curves were analyzed and a constitutive equation was established at a strain of 0.5.Based on the dynamic material model proposed by Prasad,processing maps were developed under different strain conditions.Microstructure of compressed sample was observed by electron backscatter diffraction.The results reveal that the electrolytic copper demonstrates high sensitivity to deformation temperature and strain rate during high-temperature plastic deformation.The flow stress decreases gradually with raising the temperature and reducing the strain rate.According to the established processing map,the optimal processing conditions are determined as follows:deformation temperatures of 600-650℃ and strain rates of 5-10 s^(-1).Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization of electrolytic copper occurs during high-temperature plastic deformation,and the grains are significantly refined at low temperature and high strain rate conditions.

文摘The effects of calcination temperature and mechanical ball milling on the physicochemical properties of electrolytic manganese residue(EMR),mineral phase transition,pozzolanic activity,and pore structure were studied.The experimental results show that the strength activity index(SAI)of 20%EMR mixed mortar at 28 days is 90.54%,95.40%,and 90.73%,respectively,after pretreatment with EMR at 800℃calcined for 3,5,and 8 min.This is mainly attributed to the high temperature decomposition of gypsum dihydrate to form activated calcium oxide.In addition,high temperature and mechanical force destroys the Si-O chemical bond and promotes the formation of calcium silicate gel structure.Due to the existence of a large number of gypsum phases in EMR mixed mortar,a large number of ettringite,C-S-H,aluminosilicate,C-A-S-H,and AFm are formed,which strongly verifies the volcanic activity of EMR.The leaching test shows that high temperature calcination has a significant effect on the stabilization of NH_(3)-N.However,the curing effect of Mn^(2+)is significant only in the calcination at 1000℃,but both Mn^(2+)and NH_(3)-N in the calcined EMR are higher than the emission standard.The encapsulation effect of EMR composite mortar provided by hydration products,and the buffering capacity of the Si-Al system for solidification of heavy metals and strong alkalis are conducive to the stability of Mn^(2+)and NH_(3)-N.After the EMR mixed mortar is aged for 3 days,Mn and NH_(3)-N are completely lower than the emission standard.In general,the EMR mixed mortar can meet the requirements for green building use.

文摘This study introduced a low-temperature thermochemical method for the treatment of EMR in the presence of carbide slag(CS)to achieve an economical and efficient harmless effect.The experimental results indicate that,under suitable conditions,the NH_(4)^(+)and Mn^(2+)contents in EMR decrease notably with the increasing CS content,accompanied by an increase in pH value.Furthermore,the concentration of NH_(4)^(+)in EMR considerably decreases with the increasing liquid-to-solid ratio,eventually stabilizing.Similarly,the pH value first increases and then decreases,ultimately stabilizing.At a CS content of 12%and a liquid-to-solid ratio of 0.7,the leaching concentrations of NH_(4)^(+)and Mn^(2+)in EMR(127.7 mg/kg and 0.15 mg/L,respectively)fall below the standard detection limit(2 mg/L),with the pH measuring 8.26,meeting the conditions outlined in the GB 8978.NH_(4)^(+)is converted to NH_(3),while Mn^(2+)is transformed into solid precipitates such as Mn(OH)_(2),Mn_(2)O_(3),MnO_(2),Ca_(3)Mn_(2)O_(7),and Ca_(2)MnO_(4).The majority of manganese ions exist in trivalent or tetravalent states and remain stable over time.The cost of using CS as a reagent for treating 1 ton of EMR is merely$1.01.The high OH^(-)concentration provided by CS enables the effective removal of NH_(4)^(+)from EMR and the solidification of Mn^(2+)during thermal reactions.

文摘To investigate the feasibility of applying electrolytic manganese residue(EMR)in cementitious materials,an approach combining high-temperature activation(200,400,600,800 and 1000℃)and mechanical grinding(5 min)was adopted to stimulate the EMR activity.We analyzed the effect of calcination temperature on the performance of EMR with the aid of X-ray diffraction(XRD),specific surface area test(BET)and pozzolanic activity test,explored the effects of EMR activation temperature and content(0%,10%,15% and 20%)on the setting time,soundness,drying shrinkage,compressive strength,hydration products of cement-EMR mixed slurry,and assessed the effect of cement hydration on the solidification of harmful NH_(4)^(+)-N and Mn^(2+) in EMR.The research results show that high-temperature calcination can lead to the dehydration,decomposition or crystalline phase transformation of the inert sulfate and other substances in EMR,mechanical grinding can improve its particle distribution,and the coupling of the two can effectively enhance the pozzolanic activity of EMR.The decomposition and recombination of aluminum-silica phase at 800℃ optimized the EMR activity,and the strength activity index(SAI)of EMR at 28 d reached up to 95%.Appropriate calcination temperature and EMR content can ensure the workability of the mixed slurry,and when the EMR calcination temperature was 400-1000℃,the setting time of the mixed slurry under different EMR contents satisfied the specification requirements.When the calcination temperature was 600-1000℃ and EMR content was less than 20%,the soundness of the mixed slurry satisfied the specification requirements.The compressive strength of the mixed slurry increased and then decreased with the increase of activated EMR content,when the EMR content was 10%,the compressive strength of all specimens was optimal and higher than the baseline group;when the activation temperature was 800℃,the C-S-H gel in the mixed slurry interconnected with the rod-like Aft and blocked Ca(OH)_(2),and the 28 d compressive strength was increased by 14%compared with that of the baseline group.The solidification rate of Mn^(2+) in EMR by cement hydration was higher than 99%,and that of NH_(4)^(+)-N was higher than 97%.The leaching toxicity after solidification can meet the requirements of toxic emission.The results of the study may provide theoretical basis for the feasibility of the application of EMR in cementitious materials.

文摘In this study,laser-assisted plasma electrolytic oxidation(Laser/PEO)coating was prepared on AZ31B magnesium alloy for corrosion protection,due to insufficient corrosion protection caused by the inherent defects,cracks and poor quality of PEO coatings.The plasma discharge evolution,morphological characteristics,elemental composition during coating growth were characterized by high-speed camera,SEM,EDX,XRD and XPS,respectively.Meanwhile,Mott Schottky(M-S)curves,potentiodynamic polarization(PDP)curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)tests characterized the oxygen vacancy defects and corrosion resistance of the coatings.The results demonstrated that laser-assisted irradiation not only induced plasma discharge on the anode surface,but also limited the plasma discharge size in the post-processing stage,which significantly increased the proportion of corrosion-resistant phase Mg_(2)SiO_(4)(the proportion of Mg_(2)SiO_(4)increased from 23.70%to 39.22%),thickness and density in the coating,and obviously reduced the oxygen vacancy defects and microcracks in the coating.As a result,the corrosion resistance of the Laser/PEO coating(9.29(±0.76)×10^(-7)A·cm^(-2))was further enhanced in comparation with the PEO coating(3.06(±0.19)×10^(-6) A·cm^(-2)).
文摘The corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is a significant concern in industries seeking to use these materials for lightweight structures.Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)is a process that forms a ceramic oxide film on Mg alloy surfaces,effectively enhancing their corrosion performance in the short term.In this regard,optimizing PEO process parameters is crucial for creating a stable oxide layer.An improved level of corrosion resistance is ensured by applying superhydrophobic coating(SHC)on top of the PEO layer to prevent moisture infiltration,creating air pockets on the surface.Various methods are employed to fabricate SHC on Mg alloys,including techniques like electrophoretic deposition(EPD),Hydrothermal(HT),dip,and spray coating.The synergistic combination of PEO and SHC coatings has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in enhancing the corrosion performance of Mg alloys.This study offers an extensive overview of recent progress in the preparation,characterization,and corrosion behavior of Mg alloys by employing PEO coatings and SHC treatment processes.

文摘The effect of the initial(Al+Si)/MnO molar ratio and slag composition on MnO recovery from electroslag by remelting at 1773 K was investigated.High-purity aluminum metal and silicon were employed as the deoxidizers to effectively promote the recovery of manganese metal(MM).The reduction of MnO in slag,through the interaction between molten MM with a deoxidizer and the Na_(2)O-enriched electroslag melt,was assessed both thermodynamically and kinetically.The sulfur content of high-sulfur rejected electrolytic manganese metal(EMM)scrap decreased to 0.58%with high-temperature pretreatment.The mass ratio between slag and high-sulfur rejected EMM scrap is 2/3.When the Al_(2)O_(3)content in the initial slags decreased and the Na_(2)O content increased,the MnO reduction ratio increased.The residual MnO concentration of the slag reduced with increasing the Al–Si deoxidizer content.When the(Al+Si)/MnO molar ratio reached 0.83,the MnO concentration in the final slag was only 3%.A deoxidizer mainly containing aluminum and a small amount of Si could be added to recover MnO from the slag,resulting in the improvement in the cleanliness of final Mn metal.

文摘A novel type of microcapsule-encapsulated corrosion inhibitor was prepared in a water-based solution with a pH range of 7-8,and it was applied to the composite organic coating of magnesium alloy plasma electrolytic oxidation to enhance its corrosion resistance and self-healing properties.The morphology,chemical composition,structure,and functional properties of the composite coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),polarization curve,alternating current impedance,and salt immersion test.The experimental results showed that,after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl solution for 12 h,the coating could effectively protect AZ91D from corrosion.When the coating was damaged,the exposed alloy surface would release metal ions in the corrosive environment and react with the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline to form a Mg(8-HQ)_(2) chelate,exhibiting significant self-healing behavior.The study results demonstrate the broad application prospects of microcapsule technology in the coating field,providing new ideas for the development of efficient anti-corrosion coatings.
文摘Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)coatings were prepared on Al−Mg laminated macro composites(LMCs)using both unipolar and bipolar waveforms in an appropriate electrolyte for both aluminum and magnesium alloys.The techniques of FESEM/EDS,grazing incident beam X-ray diffraction(GIXRD),and electrochemical methods of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)were used to characterize the coatings.The results revealed that the coatings produced using the bipolar waveform exhibited lower porosity and higher thickness than those produced using the unipolar one.The corrosion performance of the specimens’cut edge was investigated using EIS after 1,8,and 12 h of immersion in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution.It was observed that the coating produced using the bipolar waveform demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance after 12 h of immersion,with an estimated corrosion resistance of 5.64 kΩ·cm^(2),which was approximately 3 times higher than that of the unipolar coating.Notably,no signs of galvanic corrosion were observed in the LMCs,and only minor corrosion attacks were observed on the magnesium layer in some areas.

文摘Rare earth molten salt electrolytic slag(RMES)has emerged as a promising secondary resource for rare earth elements(REEs).This study introduces an innovative leaching technique for extracting REEs from RMES under atmospheric conditions,employing an alkali phase reconstruction method followed by an acid leaching process.Additionally,the external electric field was employed to enhance the reaction.Under the optimal reaction conditions:NaOH initial concentration of 70 wt%,NaOH-slag mass ratio of 4:1,temperature of 160℃,current density of 1000 A/m^(2),reaction time of 90 min,stirring speed of 300 r/min,HCl concentration of 4 mol/L,liquid-solid ratio of 15:1,and leaching time of 20 min,the leaching efficiencies of Nd and Pr reach up to 99.21%and 99.14%,respectively.Phase analysis indicates that the rare earth fluorides transform into rare earth hydroxides,significantly enhancing their solubility in acid solution.The imposition of an external electric field leads to pronounced disruption of the RMES surface,thereby promoting the formation of stable reactive oxygen species in the alkaline medium.This facilitates the decomposition of fluorinated rare earths and hastens the phase reconstruction,resulting in an enhanced leaching process.The achieved leaching efficiency with an external electric field is 37%higher than that without an electric field.

文摘Electrolytic aqueous zinc-manganese(Zn–Mn) batteries have the advantage of high discharge voltage and high capacity due to two-electron reactions. However, the pitfall of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries is the sluggish deposition reaction kinetics of manganese oxide during the charge process and short cycle life. We show that, incorporating ZnO electrolyte additive can form a neutral and highly viscous gel-like electrolyte and render a new form of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with significantly improved charging capabilities. Specifically, the ZnO gel-like electrolyte activates the zinc sulfate hydroxide hydrate assisted Mn^(2+) deposition reaction and induces phase and structure change of the deposited manganese oxide(Zn_(2)Mn_(3)O_8·H_(2)O nanorods array), resulting in a significant enhancement of the charge capability and discharge efficiency. The charge capacity increases to 2.5 mAh cm^(-2) after 1 h constant-voltage charging at 2.0 V vs. Zn/Zn^(2+), and the capacity can retain for up to 2000 cycles with negligible attenuation. This research lays the foundation for the advancement of electrolytic Zn–Mn batteries with enhanced charging capability.

文摘Due to the unique physical and chemical properties,rare earth elements(REEs)play a significant role in the high-tech field.In the past few decades,the rare earth reserve in China has been gradually decreasing and more pressure has been exerted on the global rare earth supply for the increasing demand of REEs,which indicates that it is essential to recycle secondary resources to meet the rare earth demand.As for rare earth molten salt electrolytic slag(REMES),although its high rare earth content has potential huge economic value,its high fluorine content of approximately 10 wt%-20 wt%can pollute the environment.Three methods are used to treat REMES.Hydro metallurgical and pyro-hydrometallurgical methods have gotten a big success for solving most of the hydrometallurgical problems,while some problems,like long route and waste water,need to be solved.Vacuum distillation is a new and promising method with a short process due to its harmlessness and high efficiency,but has shortcomings such as high energy consumption and material adaptability.This review presents these above three treatment methods,and the challenges and chances of using the recovery technique of REMES in an environmentally friendly way.

文摘The enhanced performance of aerospace equipment drives parts development towards integration,complexity,and structural optimization.This advancement promotes metal near-net fabrication technologies like wire electrical discharge machining(WEDM)and 3D printing.However,the high initial surface roughness from WEDM or 3D printing poses significant challenges for the high-performance surface finishing required.To effectively reduce the surface roughness of the workpieces with high initial surface roughness,this paper proposes pulsed unipolar-polarisation plasma electrolytic polishing(PUP-PEP).The study examined the material removal mechanisms and surface polishing quality of PUP-PEP.This technique combines the high current density and material removal rate of the electrolytic polishing mode with the superior surface polishing quality of PEP through voltage waveform modulation.For an Inconel-718 superalloy part fabricated by WEDM,PUP-PEP reduced surface roughness from R_(a)7.39μm to R_(a)0.27μm in 6 min under optimal conditions.The roughness decreased from R_(a)7.39μm to R_(a)0.78μm in the first 3 min under pulsed unipolar-polarisation voltage,resulting in a remarkable 233%increase in efficiency compared to that with conventional PEP.Subsequently,the voltage output voltage is transformed into a constant voltage mode,and PEP is continued based on PUP-PEP to finally reduce the workpiece surface roughness value to R_(a)0.27μm.The proposed PUP-PEP technology marks the implementation of‘polishing’instead of conventional rough-finish machining processes,presenting a new approach to the surface post-processing of metal near-net fabrication technologies.

文摘Depending on the production process,copper(Cu)foils can be classified into two types,i.e.,rolled copper(r-Cu)foils and electrolytic copper(e-Cu)foils.Owing to their high electrical conductivity and ductility at low cost,e-Cu foils are employed extensively in modern industries and account for more than 98%of the Cu foil market share.However,industrial e-Cu foils have never been single-crystallized due to their high density of grain boundaries,various grain orientations and vast impurities originating from the electrochemical deposition process.Here,we report a methodology of transforming industrial e-Cu foils into single crystals by facet copy from a single-crystal template.Different facets of both low and high indices are successfully produced,and the thickness of the single crystal can reach 500μm.Crystallographic characterizations directly recognized the single-crystal copy process,confirming the complete assimilation impact from the template.The obtained single-crystal e-Cu foils exhibit remarkably improved ductility(elongation-to-fracture of 105%vs.25%),fatigue performance(the average numbers of cycles to failure of 1600 vs.200)and electrical property(electrical conductivity of 102.6%of the international annealed copper standard(IACS)vs.98.5%)than original ones.This work opens up a new avenue for the preparation of single-crystal e-Cu foils and may expand their applications in high-speed,flexible,and wearable devices.

文摘To enhance the long-term corrosion resistance of the plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)coating on the magnesium(Mg)alloy,an inorganic salt combined with corrosion inhibitors was used for posttreatment of the coating.In this study,the corrosion performance of PEO-coated AM50 Mg was significantly improved by loading sodium lauryl sulfonate(SDS)and sodium dodecyl benzene sulf-onate into Ba(NO_(3))_(2) post-sealing solutions.Scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction,Fourier transform infrared spectrometer,and ultraviolet-visible analyses showed that the inhibitors enhanced the incorporation of BaO_(2) into PEO coatings.Electrochemical impedance showed that post-sealing in Ba(NO_(3))_(2)/SDS treatment enhanced corrosion resistance by three orders of magnitude.The total impedance value remained at 926Ω·cm^(2)after immersing in a 0.5wt%NaCl solution for 768 h.A salt spray test for 40 days did not show any obvious region of corrosion,proving excellent post-sealing by Ba(NO_(3))_(2)/SDS treatment.The corrosion resistance of the coating was enhanced through the synergistic effect of BaO2 pore sealing and SDS adsorption.

文摘Iron-rich electrolytic manganese residue(IREMR)is an industrial waste produced during the processing of electrolytic metal manganese,and it contains certain amounts of Fe and Mn resources and other heavy metals.In this study,the slurry electrolysis technique was used to recover high-purity Fe powder from IREMR.The effects of IREMR and H2SO4 mass ratio,current density,reaction temper-ature,and electrolytic time on the leaching and current efficiencies of Fe were studied.According to the results,high-purity Fe powder can be recovered from the cathode plate,and the slurry electrolyte can be recycled.The leaching efficiency,current efficiency,and purity of Fe reached 92.58%,80.65%,and 98.72wt%,respectively,at a 1:2.5 mass ratio of H2SO4 and IREMR,reaction temperature of 60℃,electric current density of 30 mA/cm^(2),and reaction time of 8 h.In addition,vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM)analysis showed that the coercivity of electrolytic iron powder was 54.5 A/m,which reached the advanced magnetic grade of electrical pure-iron powder(DT4A coercivity standard).The slurry electrolytic method provides fundamental support for the industrial application of Fe resource recovery in IRMER.

文摘Rare earth fluoride molten-salt electrolytic slag(REFES)is a precious rare earth element(REE)secondary resource,and conside rable amounts of REEs exist in REFES as REF_(3);they are difficult to dissolve in acid or water and impede efficient REE extraction.In REFES recovery,the REF_(3)species in REFES are usually transformed into acid-soluble rare earth compounds by NaOH roasting or sulfating roasting and then extracted by acid leaching,Moreover,the fluorides in REFES are released as HF gas in the roasting process or enter the liquid phase during the water washing process;both of these processes cause fluorine pollution.Fixing the fluorine into the solid slag provides a way to avoid fluorine pollution.In this study,a novel method was proposed to extract REEs from REFES via MgCl_(2)roasting followed by HCl leaching.Thermodynamics calculations and the rmogravimetry-differential thermal analyses(TG-DTA)were conducted to investigate the reactions occurring in the roasting process,First,MgCl_(2)reacts with the REF_3and RE_(2)O_(3)to form RECl_(3)and REOCl,respectively.Second,the RECI_(3)absorbs water and forms RE(OH)_(3).Third,MgCl_(2)·6H_(2)O is gradually dehydrated to MgCl_(2)·2H_(2)O and reacts with REF_(3)and RE(OH)_(3),and REOCl,MgF_(2)and MgO are formed.Through HCl leaching,the REOCl in the roasting products is leached by HCl acid,while fluoride re mains in the solid slag as MgF_2.The optimum experimental conditions are as follows:mass ratio of MgCl_(2)to REFES of 30%,roasting temperature of 700℃,roasting time of 2 h,hydrochloride acid concentration of 4 mol/L,leaching time of 2 h,leaching temperature of 90℃and leaching L/S ratio of 20:1.The efficiencies for total leaching of the REEs,La,Ce,Pr,and Nd are 99.13%,99.20%,98.42%,99.38%,and 99.08%,respectively.Moreover,the concentration of fluoride in the leaching solution is 2.191×10^(-6)mol/L.This method has a short process flow with low reagent costs,and the problem of fluoride pollution from REFES recovery is solved;thus,our study has great industrial application potential.
