The Decanter Centrifuge for Rare Earth Slurry Recovery is designed for continuous solid-liquid separation, valuable rare earth solids recovery, slurry thickening, and process-liquid clarification.
It is suitable for rare earth leaching residue, precipitation slurry, washing slurry, extraction wastewater, polishing-material slurry, and mineral beneficiation wastewater.
The centrifuge separates rare earth compounds, mineral fines, hydroxide precipitates, leaching residues, and suspended impurities from the liquid phase.

Rare earth slurry enters the rotating bowl through a controlled feed pipe.
An agitated tank helps prevent solids settling and maintains a stable feed concentration.
High-speed rotation separates rare earth solids and mineral particles from the liquid phase.
The denser solids move outward and form a layer against the bowl wall, while clarified liquid remains closer to the center.
The internal screw conveyor rotates at a controlled differential speed.
It continuously transports settled solids toward the conical end for further dewatering.
The separated liquid leaves through the liquid outlet.
It can be returned to washing or extraction, sent to metal recovery, or transferred to further wastewater treatment.
Concentrated solids are discharged continuously.
The recovered material can be sent to washing, filter pressing, drying, calcination, reprocessing, or storage.

Confirm whether the slurry contains rare earth oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates, polishing powders, or leaching residues.
Fine rare earth particles may settle slowly. Particle-size distribution and settling tests should be checked before selection.
High solids concentration or viscosity may reduce processing capacity. Stable feeding helps maintain consistent separation.
The liquid phase may contain acids, alkalis, chlorides, sulfates, ammonium salts, extractants, or residual metal ions.
Corrosion-resistant materials and wear protection should be selected according to the slurry chemistry and mineral impurity content.
High centrifugal force continuously recovers valuable rare earth solids and reduces material loss.
Adjustable operating parameters maintain stable separation under changing feed conditions.
Pre-thickening reduces the liquid volume entering filter presses, dryers, or calcination systems.
Clarified liquid can be returned to washing, extraction, or further metal recovery.
Customized materials and internal protection support acidic, alkaline, and abrasive slurry conditions.
Please provide:
