British Geological Survey data from experiments on rare earth element leaching from ion adsorption deposits. The dataset contains results from six soil columns for two deposit types under different starting and operational conditions. Reported measurements include volume, pH, conductivity, and molar concentrations of metals, ammonia, and Cl in eluate fractions.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between eluate pH and conductivity to understand leaching efficiency for different rare earth metals.
- Model molar concentrations of ammonia and Cl across eluate fractions to characterize chemical dynamics in soil columns.
- Compare metal concentration profiles from the two deposit types under varied starting and operational conditions.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative British Geological Survey under the NERC Security of Supply of Mineral Resources programme.
- Experiments cover six soil columns for two distinct deposit types, providing comparative data.
- Includes multiple measured parameters: volume, pH, conductivity, and molar concentrations for metals, ammonia, and Cl.
Limitations
- The sample size is limited to six soil columns, which may restrict statistical power for broad conclusions.
- Specific row counts, column definitions, and file formats are not provided, complicating initial assessment.
- Geographic coverage is restricted to Madagascar ion-adsorption deposits, limiting generalizability.
