However, this method only extracts rare earth elements (REEs) from the ion-exchangeable phase, leaving behind a substantial amount of tailings that still contain REEs. Therefore, this study explored the bioleaching process of IATRE ores and tailings in the presence of <em>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</em> (<em>A. ferrooxidans</em>) and the reaction mechanism. The results showed that in the two-step bioleaching system, where bacteria were cultured well prior to the addition of minerals for leaching, the extraction efficiencies for La (99.5 %), Ce (78.1 %), Nd (95.8 %), and Y (93.5 %) at a pyrite to IATRE ore mass ratio of 1.5:1 were 23.1 %, 58.3 %, 23.4 %, and 13.8 % higher, respectively, than those obtained using the current (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> leaching system. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3DEEM) revealed the bioleaching mechanisms of the IATRE ore. These results demonstrated that the oxidative dissolution of pyrite by <em>A. ferrooxidans</em> promoted the production of acid and Fe<sup>2+</sup>. This facilitated proton exchange reactions between H<sup>+</sup> and IATRE ores, the acid dissolution of IATRE ores, and the reduction of Ce<sup>4+</sup> in the colloidal sediment phase. Additionally, bacterial surface groups and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by the bacteria formed complexes with rare earth ions, facilitating the release of REEs from IATRE ores. Furthermore, <em>A. ferrooxidans</em> successfully extracted REEs from IATRE tailings after leaching with (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>.

In this study, an alternative and highly efficient oxidative pretreatment for refractory gold ores and concentrates was developed using persulfate-based advanced oxidation process. This approach generates strong oxidizing radicals to oxidize sulfide minerals, thereby releasing the enclosed gold. For the studied gold concentrate, the extraction of gold by direct cyanidation reached only a yield of 62.6 %. The refractoriness behavior behind this performance has been examined using diagnostic leaching and mineralogical characterization using automated Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and it was attributed to encapsulation of fine particles of gold within sulfide minerals mainly pyrite and arsenopyrite. To oxidize these sulfides by persulfate, four activation modes were examined to generate reactive radicals: ultraviolet (UV) activation, ultrasound (US) activation, thermal (T) activation and Ag<sup>+</sup> and Fe<sup>2+</sup> catalysts.

This study aims to investigate the reaction and transformation behavior of ferric and titanium oxides in diasporic bauxite during a mild alkaline hydrothermal process to minimize the inhibitory effects of Fe and Ti impurities on bauxite digestion. Analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, inductively coupled plasma, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, mineral liberation analysis, and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to analyze the occurrence states of impurities in the raw bauxite and residue, explain their reaction mechanisms, and understand their transformation under hydrothermal conditions. Starch was used as a reducing agent to transform hematite into magnetite and facilitate the subsequent reaction of magnetite with anatase to minimize adverse effects. Thermodynamic calculations and results from experimental investigations showed that under optimized operating conditions of 180 °C, reaction time of 90 min, alkali concentration of 60 g/L, and a small quantity of starch, significant transformations of iron and titanium occurred. These include transformation of (i) hematite to magnetite (54.8 %) and (ii) anatase to Ti-containing stable phases such as ilmenite (19.7 %), ferrous pseudo brookite (12.7 %), ulvite (12.9 %) iron titanate, and perovskites. After the pretreatment with bauxite, alumina digestion can exceed 90.0 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13193,"journal":{"name":"Hydrometallurgy","volume":"235 ","pages":"Article 106484"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143844035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
