In this study, a bacterial culture (mainly A. ferrooxidans) was …Web
Firstly, high-iron bauxite is used as raw material to extract aluminum and iron elements in it by hydro-chloric acid leaching. After leaching, the aluminum (and iron and other metal elements) in the minerals enters the leaching solution in the form of chloride. Secondly, the leaching solution is extracted and sepa-rated.Web
Aluminum is a significant impurity in the ion-adsorption rare earth ore. The changes in the occurrences of aluminum have a great influence on the leaching of the rare earth ore.
