Abstract

The decomposed process of bastnaesite, monazite and mixed rare earth concentrate in CaO-CaOl-CaCl2 was studied by means of TG-DTA method. The relationship among decomposition ratio, roasting temperature, and CaO-NaCl addition was studied by the quadratic regression orthogonal analysis, and then the regression equation was obtained. Through analysis, the optimum process conditions of mixed rare earth concentrate decomposed by CaO-CaCl-CaCl2 were obtained as follows: roasting temperature: 700 °C, CaO addition: 15%, NaCl-CaCl2 addition: 10%, roasting time: 60 min, the decomposition ratio: 91.3%.
