The leaching reaction of weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore is a typical liquid–solid heterogeneous reaction. The clay mineral particle in the weathered crust elution-deposited rare earth ore can be regarded as a spherical particle, and the leaching process can be described by the "shrinking core model" [22,23].

History and Future of Rare Earth Elements
The rare earths are 17 metallic elements, located in the middle of the periodic table (atomic numbers 21, 39, and 57–71). These metals have unusual fluorescent, conductive, and magnetic properties—which make them very useful when alloyed, or mixed, in small quantities with more common metals such as iron. Geologically speaking, the rare ...
