Light minerals in fractions greater than silt contained over 80% quartz and feldspar, and heavy ones contained more than 60% various iron minerals and about 30% mica and hornblende. Kaolinite was the main clay mineral, the content of which was about 300 -400 g/ kg. Quartz was weathered very weakly, Ca-feldspar was weathered over 65%, and about 25% of Na-feldspar was weathered. The vermiculitisation of mica was relativly obvious, > 50% of mica being weathered to vermiculite. Weatherable minerals were also obviously weathered, the weathering being about 60%. Soil vermiculite was evolved through the process of mica→hydromica→vermiculite-chlorite→vermiculite, which was closely related to leaching situation and oxidic condition.展开更多

The results show that bastnaesite transforms into rare earth hydrate at the cal- cification temperature range of 225-300 ℃. However, this transition is verified to be an efficient reaction for the acti- vating bastnaesite when the temperature is higher than 200 ℃. The leaching rate of rare earth increases to 89.17 % for activating bastnaesite from 36.27 % for the bastnaesite, and it is the highest with calcification temperature of 250 ℃, which is consistent with the result of DSC analysis. The transition of rare earth oxyfluoride into RE（OH）3 is acceler- ated by the addition of NaOH according to the experiments of different calcification systems.展开更多
