摘要
In order to solve the problem of vegetation restoration in the traditional heap leaching of rare earths, a novel heap leaching technology is proposed. In the novel technology, leaching liquid is laterally injected into the rare earth pile from the side end so that vegetation restoration can be carried out quickly on the top of the pile. In this study, a laboratory test was performed to investigate the permeability of the ion-adsorbed rare earth pile under lateral liquid injection conditions. Four rare earth samples with varied combinations of the mineral particles at different sizes were adopted in the test to emphatically discuss the influence of the particle composition on permeability. The experimental results show that the permeability of the rare earth pile under the lateral liquid injection conditions is governed by the migration of fine particles. As the hydraulic head of the leaching liquid increases, the fine particles undergo a motion process of stabilization, migration initiation, deposition, and remigration. Accordingly, the permeability coefficient of the rare earth pile exhibits a variation of stabilization, a gradual increase, a re-stabilization, and a re-increase. The fine particle migration and exudation causes the permeability of the rare earth pile to be non-uniform in space. The permeability coefficients near the liquid injection end and the liquid outlet end are much greater than those are at the middle positions of the pile. The particle composition of the rare earth has an important effect on the permeability of the pile. In the rare earth with a combination of coarse and fine particles, preferential flow paths are easy to develop as in this soil, the fine particles easily migrate and they cannot block the pore channels. By contrast, the fine particles find it difficult to migrate, and the permeability coefficient is relatively stable in the fine-medium particle rare earth. This particle composition is conducive to the heap leaching of the rare earth under lateral liquid injection conditions.
