The effects of factors such as reaction temperature and Na OH-to-CBM mass ratio on silicon extraction efficiency were studied. The results show that silicon extraction efficiency increases with increasing the reaction time and Na OH-to-CBM mass ratio. There are two stages for the desilication process of the calcined boron mud. The overall desilication process follows the shrinking-core model, and the first and second stages of the process were determined to obey the shrinking-core model for surface chemical reaction and the diffusion through the product layer, respectively. The activation energies of the first and second stages were calculated to be 44.78 k J/mol and 15.94 k J/mol, respectively.展开更多

Leaching kinetics of Li in a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid, which is a typical lixivant for the fluorine-based chemical method, was carried out under crucial factors such as different HF/ore ratios(1:1-3:1 g/mL) and leaching temperatures(50-85℃). The kinetics data fit well with the developed shrinking-core model, indicating that the leaching rate of Li was controlled by the chemical reaction and inner diffusion at the beginning of leaching(0-30 min) as a calculated apparent activation energy(Ea) of 20.62 kJ/mol. The inner diffusion became the rate-limiting step as the leaching continues(60-180 min). Moreover, effects of HF/ore ratio and leaching temperature on selective leaching behavior of Li, Al and Si were discussed. 90% of fluorine mainly existed as HF/F-in leaching solution, which can provide theoretical guidance for further removal or recovery of F.展开更多

The proposed ISMC algorithm applied improved self-adaptive crossover and mutation formulae that can provide appropriate crossover operator and mutation operator based on different functions of the objects and the number of iterations. The performance of ISMC was tested by the benchmark functions. The simulation results for residue hydrogenating kinetics model parameter estimation show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional intelligent algorithms in terms of convergence accuracy and stability in solving the complex parameter optimization problems.展开更多
