Article Abstract
High amounts of phosphogypsum (PG) are generated in the production of phosphoric acid. Previous literature demonstrates that obtaining rare earth elements (REE) from PG is a promising alternative to managing this waste. However, the reported leaching efficiencies are low in most cases, or drastic leaching conditions are required. Therefore, this work aimed to study the leaching conditions of REE from PG to obtain high leaching efficiency values. Initially, a 2 factorial experimental design investigated the factors that affect the conventional acid leaching of REE from PG (leaching acid (citric and sulfuric acid), solid/liquid ratio, acid concentration, and temperature). Better leaching efficiency values of the sum of all REE (62.0% and 89.7% for citric and sulfuric acid, respectively) were obtained using an acid concentration of 3 mol L, solid/liquid ratio of 1/20 g mL, and temperature of 80 °C. Subsequently, the experiments optimization, performed through a central composite rotational design, indicated that the maximum leaching efficiency was achieved using a sulfuric acid concentration of 2.9 mol L, solid/liquid ratio of 1.7/20 g mL, and 55 °C. Under these conditions, the leaching efficiency of the sum of all REE was 90.0%. Leaching kinetics results showed that the equilibrium was reached in about 20 min for most REE. The mechanism investigation suggested that surface chemical reaction and diffusion through the boundary layer controlled the leaching.

Faced with the increasingly serious problem of water scarcity, developing precise irrigation strategies for crops in saline alkali land can effectively reduce the negative effects of low water resource utilization. Using a model to simulate the dynamic changes in soil water and salt environment in the root zone of fragrant pear trees in saline alkali land, and verifying them from a production practice perspective with comprehensive benefits as the goal, can optimize the irrigation amount and irrigation technology elements of saline alkali fruit trees, broaden the comprehensive evaluation perspective of decision-makers, and have important significance for improving the yield and production efficiency of forestry and fruit industry in arid and semi-arid areas worldwide. In this study, a two-year field experiment based on three irrigation levels (3000, 3750, and 4500 m·ha) and four emitter discharge rates (1, 2, 3, and 4 L·h) was conducted in Xinjiang, China.

Phenylarsonic acid (PAA) compounds, widely used in animal husbandry, pose a considerable environmental threat owing to their potential transformation into toxic inorganic arsenic species. To efficiently decontaminate PAA and adsorb secondary As(V), a hybrid CuFeO-modified carbon nanotube (CuFeO-CNT) filter was developed in this study. The hybrid CuFeO-CNT filter functioned as an effective catalyst, convective filtration medium, electrode, and adsorbent.

Although heterogeneous Fenton-like processes have attracted widespread attention in wastewater treatment, the mass leached active ions lead to secondary pollution and confuse the demarcation of reaction region. By constructing a constrained completely heterogeneous system and highlighting its reaction region concentrated within the slipping plane of particles, this work achieves efficient organic pollutants degradation without leaching of any free active metal components. Based on the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and electric double layer model, the specific existing of the constrained region is confirmed, and this neglected reaction region between solid interface and slipping plane in traditional heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction is clarified firstly.

The recycling of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries represents a significant step towards meeting the enhancing resource requirements in the new energy industry. Nevertheless, achieving effective leaching of metals from the stable metal-oxygen (MO6) structure of spent ternary cathodes and separation of metal products simultaneously still remained a huge challenge towards industrial applications. Herein, a competitive coordination strategy was proposed to design a novel deep eutectic solvent (DESs), which improved both leaching and selective metal recycling capacity even at high solid-liquid ratio (1:10).
