Isothermal reduction experiments at 1400 degrees C successfully separated rare earth slag and iron using carbon-bearing pellets made mainly from Bayan Obo complex iron ore and pulverized coal. The experimental results revealed the presence of three main phases in the rare earth slag, with a specific growth behavior of the rare earth phase and formation mechanism explained.
Isothermal reduction experiments at 1400 degrees C, which used carbon-bearing pellets mainly made from Bayan Obo complex iron ore and pulverized coal, could effectively separate rare earth (RE) slag and iron. Different instruments were used to study the precipitation of RE slag and the growth behavior of the RE phase in RE slag during the process of cooling from 1400 degrees C. The experimental results show the presence of three main phases in the RE slag-the RE phase (Ca, Ce, La)(5)(SiO4)(6)F, cuspidine (Ca4Si2O7F2), and fluorite (CaF2), which precipitated at 1352 degrees C, 1218 degrees C, and 1045 degrees C, respectively. The RE phase grew along a specific growth track and finally manifested with a hollow hexagon morphology. The edge nucleation layer-by-layer growth model was applied to explain the formation of the hollow crystal structure. Further, the growth kinetics of the RE phase formation from molten slag were also described.
