Abstract: A liquid collection process with liquid guiding holes for in-situ leaching an ore body to extract rare earth elements, including: 1) multiple liquid collection channels are provided in an ore body; 2) liquid guiding holes are arranged near the bottom and on both sides of the channels, and these holes and the channels jointly constitute a multi-channel mother liquid drainage and collection control network; 3) a blocking wall is provided in the channels, a front lower part of the wall is connected to a channel outlet by a conduit controlled with a ball valve switch at the outlet; 4) a multi-channel mother liquid collection network of liquid collection engineering control system is finally formed through the alternate operation of pressure release and increase. The process reduces the loss rate of mother liquid, reduces environmental pollution, and improves the recovery rate of rare earth elements.

Abstract: A liquid injection process for in-situ leaching and extracting an ion-adsorption type rare earth including: setting up a liquid injection network having liquid injection shallow wells and liquid injection deep wells, inputting a leaching agent into the injection shallow wells, then inputting the leaching agent into the deep wells, and finally inputting a pushing water into all of the wells. This process is characterized by a high rare earth mineral-leaching rate, a high mother liquid concentration, a small residue of the mother liquid of the ore earth, a small unit consumption of the leaching agent, simple operation, wide application, and outstanding environmental protection effect. Additionally, the process also can cancel any blind area in mineral leaching, increase stability of side slope in the liquid injection process, and control a flow direction, a flow rate of the leaching agent, and a liquid injection intensity.

Abstract: A liquid collection process with secondary channels for in-situ leaching an ore body to extract rare earth elements, including: 1) multiple liquid collection channels are provided in an ore body; 2) secondary channels are provided on both sides of the liquid collection channels, and all of the channels jointly constitute a multi-channel mother liquid drainage and collection control network; 3) a blocking wall is provided in the liquid collection channels, the front lower part of the wall is connected to a channel outlet by a conduit which is controlled with a ball valve switch at the outlet; 4) in the measurement and production, a multi-channel mother liquid collection network of liquid collection engineering control system is finally formed through the alternate operation of pressure release and increase; 5) the rare earth recovery rate is finally improved by adjusting the non-mineral liquid and the loss ratio of the mother liquid.
