The impurity removal process of the rare earth (RE) leachate is usually accompanied by the formation of flocs, and a certain amount of polyacrylamide flocculant needs to be added in this process. However, few studies have investigated the effect of the flocculant on the impurity removal process. Therefore, this paper compares the influence on the process of removing impurities with or without the adding of polyacrylamide (PAM). The results showed that the addition of PAM had little effect on the removal rate of impurities, but it was conducive to the recovery of RE. When ammonium bicarbonate was firstly adopted to regulate the solution pH to 5.0, and then sodium sulfide was used to adjust the pH to 5.2, and 0.5 mL/100 mL of PAM was added to the leachate, 96% Al3+ and 98% Zn2+ were removed from the leachate, while 95% RE was maintained. In addition, PAM could accelerate the settlement of flocs and then shorten the production cycle. The increase in RE recovery rate may be due to the addition of PAM to shorten the settling time of the flocs, thereby reducing the RE ions adsorbed during the flocculation process and increasing the recovery rate of the RE.

Increasing mining depths and intensities have resulted in frequent accidents during roadway excavation, thus increasing the necessity of preemptively determining the geological conditions of rock formations along roadways. Identifying the spatial distributions of lithotypes and the mechanical properties of non-marker bed intervals in coal measure strata are crucial for roadway horizon design, roof management, and efficient excavation. Therefore, based on petrophysical tests, well logging, and seismic data, a comprehensive method is proposed, which uses post-stack wave impedance inversion, petrophysical statistical analyses, and pre-stack simultaneous inversion to predict the lithology and elastic parameters of rocks surrounding roadways. The lithology of the target layer is first divided according to the wave impedances of the inversion body, and the sand lenses within the mudstone interval are described. Based on petrophysical test data, the shear-wave conversion equations of the sand lenses in this target interval and background mudstone are then obtained via marginal limit extrapolation. Finally, pre-stack simultaneous inversion, based on the seismic data and shear-wave conversion curves of different lithologies, is performed to obtain the elastic parameter profile of the target interval in the cross-section of the roadway, laying the foundation for further prediction of the mechanical properties of the surrounding rocks. The results agree with roadway drilling data by>90%.

China's electric power construction is renewing Increasingly, and the network is complex and changeable where the automation is getting higher. In this paper, Fuzzy evaluation system is established according to fault tree, and the estimation of transformer’s state is judged by analytic hierarchy process. Bayes-discriminant and discriminant formula are used to discriminate transformer’s attributes, which are based on historical data. The machine identification of transformer faults combines the fuzzy evaluation and Bayes-discriminant. It’s accuracy can be improved by correcting parameters. This method can effectively avoid subjective interference caused by artificial weights. The example shows that this method could be applied to judge health status of electric power equipment and this method can play an early-warning role in the operation of monitoring system.

In the recovery process of rare earth (RE) from the weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore, ammonium sulfate is used as the leaching liquor to leach RE, and then the leachate containing RE3+ can be precipitated by oxalic acid and the RE oxalate precipitation mother liquor is reused for RE leaching process after removing the residual oxalic acid by precipitation with calcium hydroxide. However, the reuse process of precipitation mother liquor cannot proceed in the strong acid and alkali restricted areas and the discharge of mother liquor which contains a large amount of ammonium salt will cause ammonia-nitrogen waste and pollution. In order to realize the reuse of the precipitation mother liquor in this area, the direct reuse of RE oxalate precipitation mother liquor for RE leaching was investigated in this study. The RE oxalate precipitation process and the RE leaching process with oxalic acid were studied. The results showed that the residual oxalic acid concentration in the mother liquor can be controlled lower than 0.8 g/dm3 at pH 2-3 when the RE concentration in the leachate was 0.1- 1.5 g/dm3 and the RE precipitation rate reached to 94%. In addition, RE leaching efficiency was up to 90% while the oxalic acid concentration in the prepared mother liquor was 0.2-0.8 g/dm3, pH 2-3. Therefore, the precipitation mother liquor with oxalic acid concentration less than 0.8 g/dm3 could be directly reused for RE leaching. However, considering the different performance of RE ores, the recommended oxalic acid concentration in the direct used precipitation mother liquor was lower than 0.6 g/dm3.

Experimental investigations were carried out using kaolinite to adsorb two rare earth ions, lanthanum ion (La3+) and yttrium ion (Y3+), which will provide some useful information and new insights on the mineralization process and fractionation phenomenon of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ores. The results showed that the equilibrium adsorption capacity of Y3+ is greater than La3+ under the same experimental conditions. The adsorption of rare earth ions presents strongly temperature dependent indicating an endothermic adsorption process. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model were applied to discuss the adsorption kinetics. It was found that the adsorption rate of rare earth follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model among the adsorption temperature range. Furthermore, the adsorption process of rare earth ions on kaolinite followed the Langmuir isotherm model confirmed by the correlation of experimental equilibrium data to standard isotherm model, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The activation energies for the adsorption of La3+ and Y3+ on kaolinite are 28.1903 kJ/mol and 25.4190 kJ/mol, respectively. All kaolinite before and after adsorption were characterized by XRD and SEM-EDX to understand the adsorption mechanism. The obtained results suggested that the adsorption of La3+ and Y3+ on kaolinite is an endothermic and chemisorption process.
