Prolonged high-intensity grinding can modify the crystal structure of solid substances and/or induce chemical reaction, which is referred to as mechanochemical reaction. Such reactions can exert positive influences on hydrometallurgical processes, therefore, many researchers have applied mechanochemical reactions for metals dissolution from minerals. The mechanism of mechanochemical reaction has been investigated using solid analyses and simulations. Structural changes caused by mechanochemical reactions are not yet sufficiently clarified because the ground samples are amorphous. The objective of this study was to analyze structural changes of cerianite in weathered residual rare earth ore by mechanochemical reduction. The ore was ground by planetary ball milling for 10, 60 and 720 min. Structural change was analyzed by the X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended x-ray absorption fine structure analysis at the cerium LIII- and K-edges. These analyses revealed that the structural change of cerianite in this ore induced by mechanochemical reduction involved oxygen vacancy production. The process of the oxygen vacancy formation was closely coupled with the quantum effect of localization–delocalization of the 4f electron of cerium.

The extended fine structure in the X-ray absorption coefficient is dominated by the interference of the photoelectron scattered by atoms in the immediate neighbourhood of the atom which absorbs the X-ray photon and thus can provide structural information about ordered or disordered systems. In this paper it is demonstrated that Extended X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurements can be made on liquid systems at high temperatures. The technique is illustrated with results for As2Se3 in the liquid and amorphous states for temperatures between 100 and 773 K. A Fourier analysis of the EXAFS data reveals that a major structural rearrangement does not occur in the nearest neighbour shell when As2Se3 is melted. However, small structural changes do occur at the melting point which, within the limitations of the present data, suggest a slight increase in the nearest neighbour As–Se distance, a decrease in the number of nearest neighbours, and a decrease in the nearest neighbour disorder term σ12.
